The Truth Is Out There
Strangely enough it's at your local cineplex. The new film An Inconvenient Truth (starring mega box office action hero Al Gore) is the most inspirational power point presentation to hit theaters this year. (I hear the Academy is considering a new Oscar category.) I'm sure the 3 or 4 people who read this blog regularly have already seen it. Therefore this entry is mainly directed to my mother. Mom, go see this movie. And take Russ with you.
Climatecrisis.net has a carbon dioxide calculator that estimates your contribution to global warming. I was shocked to find out that I emit about twice the national average: 35,000 lbs. Mainly from driving an SUV in LA. So yes, selling my car is a step in the right direction. I'll be trading it in for something that is twice as fuel efficient. It's more expensive, but considering gas prices right now, not that much more expensive. Will post pics of the new Jake-mobile as soon as it arrives.
