A bit more on the Global Warming Front

In a previous post, I discussed that relatively simple things can help reduce your impact - this recent article about OSU Professor Dr. Jane Lubchenco has one or two for you to consider. We're not asking you to give up your cars (although we did and I can tell you I don't miss it at all - but much of that is cause I live in such a great place) - just do something. It might not solve the problem, but will it really hurt you to try? If it MIGHT help, shouldn't we at least give it a shot instead of screwing the pooch till it dies then complaining when it's gone? (ok, I needed that image less than you did... anyway...)

"The evidence is overwhelming that even simple changes can be a big help and have a huge cumulative impact,” Lubchenco says. “If every American switched just three light bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs, it would be the equivalent of taking 3.5 million cars off the road. If everyone switched to a car with five miles-per-gallon better mileage, that would be equal to taking another 150 million automobiles off the roads. Individual actions add up to big changes."
