The Gratitude of a Dinosaur

How do we support our gratitude?  I have to include my loving husband at the top of the list of of people to whom I am grateful.  My husband is the provider of the security and comfort in my life.

But, we are the Dinosaurs of the human race.  So my question is how do we reduce our energy footprint?   How do we members of a "developed nation" shrink our footprint?  Certainly not by feeling guilty.  The first generation dinosaurs were probably not responsible for their demise.  Likewise, I a human dinosaur did not create the technology that we all are so dependent on.  Yet, for us, one obvious answer is to decrease that technology.
Do we really fix our technological blunders with more technology? I wonder if I didn't have my computer toy, would I be happy to eat more inferior food?
