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.

  So far this is simply a new idea,although im sure there are many more similar and replica things going on thank goodness.However i just had the idea that to really get a "campaign" to be a mass worlwide thing and to stretch across all boundaries which it desperately needs to,it would make sense to have a wordwide campain which was headed by a simple but effective slogan such as  "Be Aware or BEWARE!!!!".

  Surely most of the problem right now is finding a way to hugely increase peoples awareness in the shortest space of time possible and with it to be able to initiate ways of replacing main offending machines and products etc in industry and in every day life....so i personally think that a mass worldwide campain which could be something as simple as reaching the masses by advertising in an organised way with the involvement of the government,is the only and best way to deal with this whole situation.

 An advertisitng campaing with the involvement of the government can surely not be that hard to achieve.I understand that the means are there,the will is there on the part of many, but the goal is to make sure that its the will of everyone and also that everyone has access to the things which will help to sustain our future.I know its only a slogan i have here right now and the ideas to go with it..but with enough involvement and input from the right people i know this could work for evetryones advantage....so in my option it has to be tried asap!!...

  So i will get to work and see what little me can start towards this goal as i hope everyone who reads this will....and i really really think that its all about communication and the implimentation of ideas .....alot of pl have the will but no real "power" so feel useless and sink into the oblivious option again,but if this community on here really cares and really wants to do something....i know it can.Forgive me as i have only just joined this site recently so may seem slightly ignorant,as for all i know there is alot going on in the above direction ...but i just neded to say this..give something else which may even help  or create more power for a campaign etc as its so urgent and still so many people who can act and can be given better means to act by their governments need to be better informed and AWARE ....So.....remember,Be Aware or BEWARE.....!!!! AND THIS IS NO JOKE.

Education is important. It's a last defense of stoping destroy the earth. Because if our next generation do things same with us, our all action will be fruitless. We must tell our offsprings what mistakes we do.

Ministry of education must update our general educating outline. Add natural human and environmental subject. Report diseases of our earth everyday and what is our action. Cancel all chemical subject.

Borderlands Photography Project                                                

I am working with the International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP) to organize a photography expedition and public information campaign on the envirnomental impacts of the border wall the US is building on its border with Mexico. We start out in San Diego on January 26. Some of the best nature photographers in the US and in Mexico will be traveling for three weeks along the border, spending time in National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges and on private reserves, to capture the wildlife, landscapes and human communities that are being affected by the border wall.

Hundreds of imperiled species, including the jaguar, Mexican gray wolf and Sonoran pronghorn, live in the borderlands, and in order to speed construction of the border wall, outgoing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has waived dozens of federal laws, including the Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act using an unprecedented waiver authority granted to him under the Real ID Act, passed in 2005. The act gave the department unchecked authority to disregard all U.S. laws to build a wall that even Secretary Chertoff admits will not stop illegal traffic, but only slow it down by a few minutes.

During the expedition we'll be uploading photos and a blog to the ILCP website on an interactive map. Afterward, we will use the images to hold an exhibit on Capitol Hill in Washington DC, and to create a multimedia documentary, in hopes of broadening the understanding of rich borderland's ecosystems, and supporting legislation that will help protect them.

To follow our expedition and photography through our blog, or to learn more about this issue, our project, or to donate, visit ilcp.com/borderlands.

The purpose for registering to this site was solely to initiate a call for higher action from each one of us and unite with the sole purpose to educate thru a unified effort.

If we can all get on the same page, call it 11:11; we can all make it posible!

your friend Paula.

I have recently submitted an idea to the Obama campaign to begin encouraging and subsidizing a communal urban farming effort. The basis of this idea is that blocks or neighborhoods will be able to organize in order to provide produce for themselves and others in their area. Each household (that volunteers) on a block will have their soil analyzed by an agricultural or horticultural program graduate and will grow a certain fruit(s) or vegetable(s). Other households on the block (or in the neighborhood) would be the canneries. The government could subsidize the purchase of heirloom seeds, the salary of the agricultural/horticultural experts, and the equipment needed for canning and drying the foodstuffs. Only the volunteer participants would reap the benefits of the program.

I believe a program like this will not only help reduce the emissions generated from transporting produce hundreds of miles (thousands in the winter) but will also prevent possible food riots and violence should the future fuel supply become so scarce that it is eventually for government and military use only. If we start practicing now, we will all be pros before we need to be.
