I think it means he's trying. The small things really do add up. He obviously can't give up travel, but if everyone made the same choice to drink from reusable bottles or the water fountain then it would have a huge impact on the environment.

Fair enough...although I bet if everyone followed his example to the "T", the World would be worse off, not better, enviromentally speaking.

Perhaps, but then 300 million people running for president would generate many issues beyond simple carbon footprint. But if we all followed his example to the Y we'd be fitter.
