Yesterday we watched countless hours of LIVE EARTH...probably the best televised series of concerts ever. While I enjoyed the music, I LOVED the short films and PSA's (public service announcements) all geared to bringing much-needed awareness to the climate crisis and offering tips on SIMPLE ways to make a difference. http://www.liveearth.org
I first came to understand the term "carbon footprint" about a six months ago. Although we've been recycling for a decade, drive a hybrid car and make an effort to buy mostly fair-trade goods, I hadn't focused on reducing the energy use in our house. Two days ago the electric bill came and I am happy to report that in just six months of small changes we have already reduced it by 25%. We changed most of the light bulbs and now I unplug my rechargers (and other items) whenever they aren't being used...those small changes have had a big impact and I'm looking forward to doing even more. AL GORE, if you're reading this, THANK YOU for all that you do to make a difference in the world.
