I'm aiming for zero.  :D

So far my list is:

X tonnes of C02

X tonnes of hot air.  :)

No descendants.  At this stage suddenly deciding to want children would be an epic vanity project.

Broadly neutral impact on society, law abiding, but not exactly a great contributor to civic life / society.

Hopefully not much. I'd hate to start over from scratch.

To elaborate, by the time I die I plan to turn as much of my non-transferrable assets (money, health, looks, youth) into the transferrable ones (experiences), preferably at a favourable exchange rate.

Yes, this. I like to think my presence here has been mostly harmless.

Movies that nobody will watch. Failing that, books that nobody will read.

A lot of junk. I pity the fool who has to clean up after me. 3-400 LPs. 3-400 CDs.3-400 Books.
Concert T shirts from the 80s.
DVDs. Video Cassettes. Audio Cassettes.
3 or 4 old PCs.

An overweight corpse.

Some stuff that my cousins, my probable heirs, will bin as worthless.

Probably (since I've never checked) a line on my school's boards that record what universities its' pupils attended after sitting A-Levels.

Not a lot, eh? :hmm:
