The reason carbon is used when talking about carbon neutrality is so that so that it covers all forms of carbon both when they are emitted as CO2 and methane and when they are emitted and then sequestered as organic carbon (i.e the CO2 is converted via photosynthesis).
If you want to be enraged even more about how the security guidlines are really a sham read Bruce Schneier's interview with Kip Hawley (the head TSA)

As a working-class kid finishing my PhD at an Ivy League school I find a great deal of truth in the article. Too bad it won't be mentioned since class is pretty much the third rail that can't be touched in America.
"why we did this to ourselves"? I think I is more appropriate.
Maybe our former President was right on at least one thing. The rich don't pay taxes.

Why not just have your husband be in charge of drying the clothes and you can take on one of the tasks he currently does that while just as time consuming uses less carbon.
I think it is great to be concerned about the environment like your husband (especially about climate change) but it is better to make smart choices that really have an impact not just to to do things because they are difficult so it seems like you are making a big impact. How often do you fly? I am sure one trip negates a year or more or no dryer.
