English environmental activist Rosalind Readhead is doing something much tougher: a One-Tonne Diet, where she gets her personal carbon footprint (碳足迹) from everything she does down to less than one tonne of carbon per year. Currently, the average American has a footprint of 28 tonnes, and the average UK citizen 15 tonnes. Her project inspires many people, and unavoidably, its questioned. “Its virtually unattainable for an individual in the developed world to even get down to a three-tonne lifestyle anytime soon，” says Eric, another environmental activist. “The aim is to attempt to live on one tonne of carbon per year from September 2019.

In the introduction, Berners-Lee says he has had firsthand experience of a ten-tonne diet, and hopes the book motivates others to aim for that. So what is the point of such an exercise?

A one-tonne lifestyle is a tough experiment, but we could all do better by thinking about how we live, by having a sense of scale and understanding the sources of our own footprints, and maybe even trying to achieve Berners-Lees ten-tonne lifestyle. Tell what is important and work our way down the list. Otherwise, read Rosalind Readheads posts and feel really guilty! 1. What does Eric thi
