Carpool

The future is not somewhere we are going. It is something we are creating. Every day we do things that make some futures more probable and others less likely.

Global warming already disrupts millions of lives daily in the forms of destructive weather patterns and loss of habitat. What is already happening is only the tip of the melting iceberg, for it is our children and grandchildren who may suffer most from the effects of global warming. Hundreds of millions of people may be exposed to famine, water shortages, extreme weather conditions and a 20 - 30% loss of animal and plant species if we do not reduce the rate of global warming and reduce GHG emissions.On the other hand, having warmer winters means longer growing seasons in temperate and subarctic climes, sometimes allowing an additional crop to be planted and harvested each year, or simply making the existing crops more productive. This article outlines some ways that you can act to help prevent the Earth from warming further. While humankind has the ability to destroy the planet, we can also help protect and sustain it.

Reducing your carbon and greenhouse gas emissions will not only make your personal living space more sustainable but it will also save you money in both the short- and long-term. Global warming is occurring more rapidly than it was originally expected to. Only forty years ago, the big worry was global cooling. Even if you remain a cynic, however, and disagree with the consensus of scientists, you will benefit from reduced pollution, a more healthful lifestyle and increased savings from enacting these simple activities that will not reduce the quality of your life.

My friends Kaylie Meade and Kara Mitchell have decided to start a school program. Well this program will be during school so I call it an During School Program or Activity. We will have certain metting and talk about how good the Earth has been from like 1999 to now 2009. And we can see how much bad or good progress the Earth and Us  have made.

This is where I've started.... What to do next!? I work at Starbucks and would like to switch out our cubs, etc for the sugar cane ones or something that won't decay and rot the earth but turn in to soil again..need to find more info... bummer I could only pick three..

 

I never take plastic bags

Re-using
Almost 100% green home, except low-power showerheads
Any little thing I can..and trying to show others

Basically, I live a half hour from work, so I've been staying with a friend thats within a 5 minute drive of work, not only to save gas but so I as an individual am not letting so many carbon emissions into the air. When we go out or with other friends we always ride in 1 car instead of driving seperate. Just one small thing.

Just got ahold of the other participants on a trip to Cleveland and we all rode together.

Everyday i either take public transport or get a group lift to where i want to be. Car pooling saves my money, other peoples money and is better for the environment.

Only using public transport or carpooling

This is what I currently am doing.

I plan to send all those in my e-mail address book a copy of the 11thhouraction site, I usually carpool to places if I'm not using my bike, and I plan to sign the Climate Protection Agreement.

trying to start this out
