Walk More, Drive Less- Blog Action Day 2009

Hey, this is what this blog is all about- getting the word out that we need to do something about how we live on this planet. Currently our habits seem to be setting things off kilter and one way or another we, or rather our children and grandchildren, will suffer the consequences. So again since I truly believe that while one person's actions might seem like a drop in the bucket when it comes to helping the environment, if everyone who needed to changed their behavior then things would start to happen. With that out of the way, here's my contribution to Blog Action Day 2009:
Walk (bike, take the bus) more, drive less.

Also, since you have more time to think during your walks, come up with a letter for your representatives, senators, President Obama and anyone else you can think of, about how important it is that a dramatic lifestyle change begin now.

Here's a blurb from Blog Action Day:
"More than any other country, action taken by the United States to limit greenhouse gases and build a clean energy economy is needed to achieve a sustainable solution to our global climate crisis.

This December world leaders will gather in Copenhagen to negotiate a global response to climate change. As a world leader in greenhouse gas pollution as well as clean energy technology, the United States needs to take bold action by implementing comprehensive clean energy policies to curb emissions.

President Barack Obama has said that climate change is an urgent threat, and that he wants to restore America's responsible leadership in the world.

This is a chance for people around the world and in the United States to join together in telling President Obama that we want him to lead the United States in taking bold and significant action to reduce greenhouse gasses.

Time is running out, and our planet can't afford to wait."
