Global Warming or Not - Does it matter??

There are quite a few arguments out there about Global Warming and Climate Change.

1. Is it actually happening?
If not, don't worry - Keep things as they are. Continue burning fossil fuels.
If yes, procede to step 2.

2. OK, it is happening, but it is part of the natural cycle.
If true, don't worry - Keep things as they are. Continue burning fossil fuels.
If not true, procede to step 3.

3. OK, it is caused by man, but can we afford to change to green sources of energy?
No, we cannot - Keep things as they are. Continue burning fossil fuels.
Yes we can, Procede to step 4.

4. Where do we get the money - borrow from our children? Increase inflation?
Yes, just deal with it and fix the planet
No, this is too much to handle. I'm going to rethink Global Warming - Procede to Step 1.

In the United States, we are taught to think as individuals, not as a collective. Great things can happen when we do that. Great things can happen as well when we put our heads together and think and work together as a group.

When it comes to climate change, I alone cannot fix it. Neither can you. But if we all do our part at cleaning up the environment that we all live in, we collectively get cleaner air, cleaner water, healthier food, less toxic chemicals that pollute our environment, and less dependance on foreign oil.

In the end, think twice before you waste everyone's time debating whether or not global warming exists. Don't try to take on the worlds problems. Just take on your own. Lets all fight together for a cleaner world. Lets all take care of what is in our field of vision.

Get Energy Efficient appliances, turn down the heat, turn up the A/C, turn off the lights, weatherize your home, change to CFL light bulbs, install a rain barrel, buy local food and/or grow your own, start composting, take the stairs instead of the elevator, turn off the TV, install solar or wind, recycle, work from home, buy a more energy efficient car, take public transportation, turn down the temperature on your water heater, put a blanket on your water heater, and on and on...

Just think about what you are doing, and do it efficiently.

Think globally and act locally.

Think about the planet
Think about your country
Think about your state
Act within your county
Act within your city
Act within your neighborhood
Act within your street
Act within your home
Act within your self
Act within your heart
For your children

Have a Green Day!
