Do an Audit of Your Lifestyle

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.

I' m starting an informativebuzz about protecting our environment

It's all the little things... Nothing makes me feel better than giving my hard earned money to local farmers and/or organizations, buying green items that help our beautiful planet, and eating healthier foods so that I am treating myself well... Try it, I bet you'll feel great about it too!!! Melanie =)

My days of seemingly idyllic ignorance are over. As an individual I had no idea of the scope or speed of these processes that are taking hold because of what human activity -my personal activity- is doing. I am having a hard time finding a place to begin, but I am going to evaluate what we can do without and make changes in our own home. Then tell everyone I know what we are doing and why.

working towards making my dreams happen so I cn be as Leo is and motivate a movement through his social standpoint but making a big difference in awareness

These are the actions I'm going to take.

I didnt buy a car even if i could.....

I guess it had to take a movie( when all i couldve done was go outside) to make me realize that there wasnt enough time and resources left out there for our future kids and grandkids, least, ourselves. But today Im going to sart consciously greening my lifestyle. Not just an after thought or a back of head thing, but an effort to cut the crap I throw in and take in from this planet. I think more than complicating things with this effort, I think its more of simplyfying my life and living in my means..and im actually better off doing so.
