(dc) global warming revolution
hi. we are starting a revolution - our target is north american and chinese youth. we need to help the youth demand that they (and the polar bears and whales and ice) will have a planet to live on in 50 years. i hope you will help. as a first step, do everything you can to go see gore's movie, "an inconvenient truth" and go with large groups of friends. try to ignore the things about it that are annoying (a thousand shots of gore looking pensive, the fact that it seems to be a movie more about him than about the problem, etc.) and really pay attention to the message.
i really really hope you will help. if enough people help (especially americans), it will make a huge difference.
as a second step, do the things that gore suggests in the credits. well, first of all, watch the credits till the end. use energy efficient light bulbs. take shorter showers. consciously use less toilet paper. recycle (even if you have to go out of your way). turn stuff off when you don't need it. consider buying a hybrid car. consider becoming vegetarian. take the stairs. use natural light when you can. stop killing everything in the rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans with bleach - buy environmentally friendly products. write to congress (this site tells you how) and tell them you care about the environment. walk or bike when you can. use rechargable batteries. if you can, consider converting your house to solar energy. and if you're really feeling ambitious, learn about the science of global warming.
we are facing the task of changing our consciousness and becoming aware or our impact on the world as individuals and as the most wasteful nation on the planet.
if you're reading this blog, you've got time to click here and read a bit about global warming. educate yourself. find things you can do to help. this is not a political issue - it's an issue of survival.
today i realized that it might be hard, on first glance, to see what i really care about by reading my blog. this is something i really care about, and i desperately want others to care about it too.

But I LIKE killing everything in the rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans with bleach. It's AWESOME. I'm on my way down to the lake right now with a full gallon of Clorox. Look out fish.
fork.
perhaps eliminating the amount of travel you do can help you sleep better at night. Just think of the huge difference in global warming you can make with
one
less
plane
flight
across
the
country.
good point, houston. thanks. would that i could cancel more travel plans. unfortunately it's about as possible as you scrapping your car.
and at a time when my readership is dwindling to naught due to my own laziness, thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
