[quote=Anonymous]There is a certain selection bias in the DMV.  Many people have the choice to pick between MD and VA.  Some people pick MD because they feel like VA still has too many conservatives.  Some people pick VA because they feel like MD has too many sanctimonious liberals.
I can say that in my MoCo neighborhood, I see a lot of solar panels, compost bins, electric cars, and very few SUVs, and many people limit their meat consumption for environmental reasons.    I agree with PPs that travel is one that I think everyone has trouble giving up.  I don’t know many people that do weekend trips to Europe or the west coast but a lot of people have family far away and do go visit annually, and do summer and spring break vacations in a wide variety of places.  We haven’t been outside North America in over 20 years and we’re splurging and taking 2 such trips in the upcoming year.  Is that bad?  I guess, but maybe not as bad as some others.  I think we do what we think we can, and we all draw different lines about what sacrifice is more than we are comfortable with. [/quote]
