// Stop The Warming!

Earth Hour (March 27th 8:30) is an event I look forward to every year. It is the time where everyone huddles together in the dark, looking up in wonder at the sky as absent stars suddenly appear.

An hour of no lights to save energy and promote the environmental movement is really what we need, but wouldn’t it be great if we had a whole day or week when people would actually try to save energy? I realize that people these days have a hard time finding time to reduce their impact on the environment when our society demands so much of us constantly. And, everything gets so muddled when it comes to what one should do to lessen their footprint upon the earth. Conserving energy, waste output, and the general not-mauling-the-environment (anywhere from NOT burning the rainforest to NOT putting fertilizers on your lawn) are habits that should be indulged in, if not all the time, for at least a week. When, I don’t know. Maybe as an extension to earth day or earth hour.

That’s my propostion. In addition, I wish all of those reading a happy earth hour! (March 27th at 8:30 in case you didn’t know.) I won’t be able to join you this year, but I wish all the best!

Annie Leonard has done it again with her follow-up video to “The Story of Stuff” called The Story of Cap and Trade. Even though she is clearly biased against cap and trade, her points are very clear and factual.

I will post more about cap and trade soon.
