Obligatory Climate Post

Sometimes it is hard to stay up to date on any one subject.  I have a passion for the climate change issue, but like all passions this one has faded somewhat.  I still believe in it, (It was supposed to be a record day here ion Raleigh) but there is not much I can do about it personally.  I intend to buy a canvas sack for groceries, but have yet to do so.  There has been legislation in San Francisco as well as some small town in Britain banning use of plastic grocery bags, and I am all for it.  They are wasteful.  (As is bottled water but that pigs for pickin' another day) But anyway, here is some climate news for the day.  Arctic sea ice is melting beyond expectations.  And also Prince Charles in all his nobility has compared the fight against climate change to the fight against Nazis. I wish there was some quack with a bad mustache behind global warming. It would be much easier to take care of than stopping a global juggernaut dependent upon earth altering consumption.

Hey Jim and all, here's something that can make you feel like you're doing something each day http://www.care2.com/click2donate/.
I too feel overwhelmed sometimes when it comes to all the issues I should/can/do worry about. My friends’ tax person said she no longer used plastic forks at lunch each day because of them. That’s 365 (minus weekends) less plastic forks going into the landfills; every little bit helps! Lowes Foods gives you $.05 for each bag you bring yourself. Only 1 cashier has told me that so far, but it might be the extra incentive some people need.
Also, this website is great if you have time to take a look http://www.progressivekid.com
