Where the hell is Matt? And what is his carbon footprint?!  

If you haven’t met Matt online or in your country, Google “Matt” and this one individual will show up at the top of your query. Very impressive. Matt, born in Norwalk, Connecticut in 1976, spends his time traveling the world and dancing with local people – a moving post card if you will. He then uploads the videos to YouTube where millions of people watch and wonder.

The FAQ’s on the website share a lot about his process and motivations for his documented adventures and also answer a few broader questions – like ‘why is the world so screwed up?’ This leads me to believe that Matt is a vocal globalist from our Sustainability Passion Index findings.

On the one hand, the videos are hilarious and offer a psycho-geographic break from our personal worlds. On the other, I have to ask how much energy is this one person using in his global quest to own the name ‘Matt’ and to show the world his… sweet dance moves, and to show us... the world. A vocal globalist, with a gift of connecting cultures, who happens to carry with him a very large carbon footprint.  C'mon Matt, offset that!
