Think you aren’t personally responsible for climate change? Think again.
The average American causes about 600 square feet of Arctic sea ice to vanish each year, according to a study released Thursday, and something as simple as your summer road trip may be to blame.
Oddly enough they don’t examine how much of that ice “vanish” is due to vehicles delivering USA Today.

Here’s an assignment for USA Today’s climate team:
If I do, how much ice would, say, Leo DiCaprio and Al Gore with their private jets and huge homes, melt? ?
