Global Warming

Due to the extreme cold in the Chicagoland area I've been thinking a lot about Global Warming, and tonight on CBS (60 Minutes) they had a full hour about global warming and how we, as the entire human race, need to take better care of the planet.

It's frightening what's happened to the environment and how much worse it will get. We've done so much damage that we can't undo the melting ice on the north pole or the shrinking glaciers in the south.

So we know about global warming. Now we have to change the way we live and the way our children live or else they won't have a liveable planet. Buying environmentally sound products from green companies like Evo and Seventh Generation, two of my favorites. Change light bulbs to the long lasting kind. Buy rechargable batteries. Get a hybrid vehicle, walk, or use public transportation. Buy trees to plant--companies like Giam offer you the opportunity to add trees to your order, which they plant).

Talking about global warming isn't enough. We need to act. Now.
