Ok, does anyone remember when George W. Bush said that global warming was based on shaky science? Does anyone still believe that?
We seemed to have slipped into blissful ignorance. Ignore it and it will go away… Bush’s reason for not going along with the Kyoto, it will harm the U.S. economy. Can the road we’re on lead to anything but economic and environmental disaster? What will our economy look like when we’ve destroyed the environment?

What would happen if we each adopted one or two practices to reduce energy consumption? Instead of taking on the whole thing individually, we could each do those things we’re comfortable with…
Energy saving bulbs…
Take public transportation once a week, twice a month…
Perhaps walk to work…
Take two days a week and turn down the air conditioner (the heat)…
Pressure our government to adopt the Kyoto Protocol…
When do we accept responsibility? When do we lead?
