Dads. When you're young, they never do seem quite sane.
This year, one New York dad has taken the "I'll turn this thing right back around" threat about as far as it'll go; Colin Beavan and his family are in the middle of a quest to zero out their impact on the world. Appropriately enough, Beavan's blog is called No Impact Man, and he chronicles the various ways in which he's hurdling the obstacles of living in a major city--he's in Manhattan--and thinking and living green.
Here he talks about doing laundry sans electricity and here his wife writes on giving up non-local coffee

I'm reminded of dieters who go from 5000 calories a day down to 3000, and wonder why they can't stick with it after a week. Drastic changes like these aren't made to last. But maybe if they made small, incremental changes to their behavior, it would last a lot longer than a year (and be less of a shock than giving it all up at once).
I can't complain though -- this guy and his family are doing and sacrificing far more for their beliefs than I am.
