I know that today was the 2008 presidential election and such was a GINORMOUS deal. Everyone was bustling around town, eager to vote for the cantidate of their choice. I know who I favor: Barrack Obama. Not because of his ethnicity or his parents; but because he wants change. He wants to make America a better, safer, healthier, more eco-friendly place! Now, don't get me wrong: I APPRECIATE JOHN MCCAIN. However, I just differ with some of his opinions. Such is why I believe that Barrack Obama may be able to steer our country in the right direction. Now, i truly want to know: what's your opinion? You know mine, and why. But WHO DO YOU WANT AS PRESIDENT FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS??? Please, TELL ME. I'd love to be educated and learn what other greenpeace bloggers believe!!

My family and I recently relocated to a new city and a new state. Due to my family's notorious past of constantly moving from place to place, I obviously wasn't disturbed by the news! So, we packed our bags and headed to a new city: Hershey, PA! When I came here last Saturday, I was ASTOUNDED at the advancement in modern "green" society! Recycling bins are everywhere and people are being much more concious about their choices regarding the environment. At all of the schools, recycling bins are in every room! And despite my constant lookout for trash, there has practically been no litter in sight! Also, students here walk to school. In my old city, no one i knew walked to school. It's an incredible surprise to myself that a city could have such advancement. Now, I'm sure Hershey, PA may have flaws, but I'm content with the fact that I won't have to put in as much effort to make this city greener. Also, after looking at this advanced "green-ness", I've learned to appreciate other cities. I know that now, in 2008, people are making an effort. They at least TRY and even if they're effort makes the slightest bit of change, it's still change and change is worht it! I hope that all of you not only appreciate the green-ness of where you come from but appreciate it enough to want to make your community BETTER. I hope this provokes some thought and gets all of you Greenpeace Bloggers a-thinkin'!
