CARBON FOOTPRINT walks the reader through experiences that trace our lives. Succinct reflections on birth, appetites, and COVID, rambling into fantasies about having a relationship with the voice of your car’s GPS and driving on crowded highways. Then pondering where that juicy steak came from and washing it down at a micro brew pub. There’s the mystery of parenthood, emergency room visits, and how social media shapes us and can’t forget us. CARBON FOOTPRINT is by turns quirky and concise, sardonic balanced with humor, with something for everyone.
