Greentips from the Union of Concerned Scientists

Check out this link to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), it's a Greentips Newsletter but also has links to Global Warming, Vehicles, Energy, Invasives, Security, Food, and Scientific Integrity.

This particular link/issue of Greentips is about Green Roofs:

A different opinion

I recently received an email from a friend who doesn't believe in Global Warming. I respect her opinion, however I do not agree with it. I have posted an interesting site she provided with opposing views from my own. My goal for this blog is to provide ALL of the information so that you can choose what to believe. So check it out and become as educated as possible.

The Kyoto Treaty....read all about it!

So if you don't know all about the Kyoto Treaty or just want to read about it a little, here's a good link:

Strange that the US didn't sign the treaty...I wonder whose smart idea that was (I have my ideas...but this isn't a political blog). Anyone have any thoughts on that?

The start of something great!

So this email started it all for me. After receiving an unbelievable amount of responses, I decided to start this blog. PLEASE post, comment, and share your thought ideas, news, etc....as awareness and action is all we have. I will continue to post any and all information that I can find on Global Warming (environmental, political, and economical), societal changes (good and bad), and the general state of our nation.

The Inconvenient Truth. PLEASE see it, regardless of political or religious beliefs....as it really gives a clear understanding of global warming and the effects it is having on Mother Earth. Initially I avoided the movie because I thought it was going to be one of those....make you want to run off screaming into the bushes after you wipe all the tears away type of documentaries. However I was pleasantly surprised that more than anything else it was an eye opener, very informative and gave actual concrete ways we can and must change the way we have been living. Anyway PLEASE SEE IT!!!!

Also, after convincing a dear friend after a yoga session that she shouldn't avoid the movie anymore, she gave me this website to check out which is really cool. You can calculate the amount of Carbon Dioxide you produce and has numerous other resources: CHECK IT OUT!

So let's pull our educated minds together people and start changing things....so that our children and our childrens, children can enjoy all of the beauty we all have gotten to experience! If anything, please just forward this blog on to EVERYONE on your email list. Thank you, I appreciate it and so does Mother Earth!
