I read that article about Canada yesterday via Ian, and was actually stunned. Pretty sure NOBODY knows this is going on. Madness.

I’m going to pretend like there’s still a debate among the scientific community, thereby giving me an excuse to do exactly what I want without feeling guilty. At every turn, I will bash Al Gore and call “climate change” a conspiracy… because don’t you know 1998 was the hottest year and it’s actually getting cooler? And that arctic sea ice is growing, not shrinking?

(I’m also going to accept this big bag of something with a $ sign on it… don’t mind me. Nothing to see here).

In short: People = good. Al Gore = jerk. Case closed.

Victoria, that’s awesome! You are certainly ahead of the game. I’m trying to be more conscientious about the appliance one, especially since I live alone. It just takes making a switch and keeping up with it, and soon it’s second nature.

Thanks so much for continuing to come back and read the site!

Living abroad has made me become tremendously more environmentally conscious- here are some things I started to do the past year, but should have been doing sooner!
1. Buy from local vendors and markets only
2. Reducing my carbon footprint by only using one major appliance at a time (an electric stove for cooking, a computer/internet connection, etc.) I no longer use my fridge and have no access to central heating!
3. NEVER buy a plastic water bottle.
4. Walk everywhere

No doubt, my heart thanks me for my recently modified and improved lifestyle.

PS- I started reading articles on this website about two months ago, and I love it!
