Greenpeace

last night my friend mike came over after a happy hour to say "peace and good luck" to a co-worker of ours.. little did we know that we were in for the downer of my life.

holy crap.

we watched Nova's show on the dimming of the sun. what a downer! if you think we are making great leaps and bounds in curbing our emissions/pollution/greenhouse gases, think again!

heres how it was laid out: the things that we are doing right now, aren't doing shit. we need to work harder because we do NOT have a lot of time left to get this issue "under control."

hansen was intereviewed (i had not committed his face to memory and when i saw him i told mike that i already loved him), and i just sat there thinking: he must feel like a crazy person. here he is, trumpeting that change is necessary for YEARS and just now we all raise our heads bleary-eyed and mumble about how he's right and we "have to do something." i feel his pain. 

this is ridiculous. do yourself and the earth a favor:

 take your own bags to the grocercy store, go here to order biodegradable plastic bags (garbage, sandwich and compost - if you must),  shut off your lights!, shut off your computer/laptop, walk or bike everywhere you can, carpool, eat at home, buy in bulk so there is less packaging to dispose of, and by all means necessary - get other people to do the same, ESPECIALLY the wealthy. yes, i am targeting you - who sometimes forget that their shit stinks too.
