I guess that I've been a little bit inspired recently. I've watched a bunch of videos on YouTube that I should have seen a long time ago. They are videos that look at the global warming discussion from a risk management perspective. Greg Craven is a physics teacher, but he has made quite a few professional videos that are all on YouTube. The one that you have to see is called How It All Ends (embedded below). He reminds me a little bit of Bill Nye or Alton Brown (of the Food Network).

~check that water heater! This is the homes biggest energy user & most have it set to high. Set it to 120*. Switch to gas or even better- go solar!

"...As a proponent and activist of sustainable development for over 20 years, it is easy for me to be discouraged by our cultural insistence on consumption and unlimited growth.

The global economic depression & celebrity status of our federal executive catalyzed for me, the necessity to act locally as individuals and take ownership of our community.

Actually, it's the omnivores who love them to the death.

This PETA plan is one of my favorites lately, so I support calling them "Sea Kittens" - that which we previously called "Fish".
