 Currently scoping out switching to a BJJ gym to which I can #bike instead of drive. Did the math and over the course of the year, compared to driving to my current gym round trip (17.9 miles) 3x/week, this would save nearly one ton of #CO2. Enough for two round trips between Atlanta and Seattle via airplane. More than I expected! Don't like the culture at the new gym as much as my current one but heavily considering it. 
 Another way to conceptualize this is that 1 ton of CO2 is also around the amount saved by me following a #vegetarian or #vegan diet for an entire year, compared to a meat-heavy diet. So cutting out three driving trips a week is basically the same as a fairly high-impact life change. Wild! Plus obviously driving sucks, especially in #Atlanta
