The Solution is You! An Activist’s Guide January 31, 2007

This Speaker’s Corner Book by Laurie David, with forweword by Larry David is a nice little tipsheet on how to stop Global Warming. I found the little pull quotes by celebs, scientists, and journalists to be engaging and practical. From composting, to how to save the polar bears from climate change, this book an easy-to-digest “book that is too hot not to handle.” Apparently “environmentalist” is not a 4-letter word.

Tip of the Day:

Switch to recycled toilet paper:

Seventh Generation sells individual rolls at your nearest green market or Whole Foods type store. You’ll help save trees, landfill space, and water. Your future children will give you a pat on the back. Ok, maybe that’s going a little too far. But, this is one way to take a step in the right generation. Our planet needs some rescue, and you could be the superhero….

Dubya and politicians better heed the warnings.
Bloomberg/hillary/obama/kucinic/edwards/and richardson could really take the time out to think green on a personal level, and on their larger platforms as well. It might make the difference this election.

This just in…Global Warming is for real, and it’s January 27, 2007

Jokes aside, look out for my posts on global warming, and WHAT YOU CAN DO to MAKE A DIFFERENCE

xo, as always adoring fans of all things GREEN. -sanster says teach GREEN.

This book by Laurie David is full of great snippets such as:
Things Go Better with Coke
December 2,2005
Polar bears live in the Arctic and are totally reliant on sea ice, which is vanishing faster than previously expected. For every week of winter lost due to global warming, adult polar bears lose twenty-two pounds because their food supply is so scarce. And thinner bears mean fewer cubs. Starting to get the picture? Not very soft and cuddly, is it?

Penguins face a similar plight. A few years ago, when two giant icebergs broke off the Antarctic ice sheet, it blocked the route from their breeding colonies to their feeding areas. As a result, they had to walk an extra thirty miles to reach food—no small task given that a penguin’s average speed is one mile per hour. Maybe it’s time for corporate America to consider protecting a species that has been such a profitable sales tool.

Sanster.net hook:
–How many films have made these adorable animals the main protagonists?? It’s not just coke, it’s Disney, and merchandisers. The march of penguins is becoming the March of Bhutan. For the sake of the penguins and the polar bears, please act local, think global, and be mean and green. think about your carbon paths, re-use your plastic bags, and think of creative ways to recycle and re-use.
