Environmental awareness is quickly becoming a new platform for me, in addition to supporting public schools. At work, we are divided in half about the issue of global warming and pollution, and separated by a huge chasm. The other employees tend to conveniently disagree with the issue and are sick of hearing about it, mostly because they dislike Al Gore and his father. The younger and, consequently, more educated half, disagrees. We see the facts for facts and are interested in talking about ways to affect change in our daily lives. Unfortunately, I do not see the fire in other employees' eyes about wanting to act. But I guess we have to move one step at a time. Understanding is the first step toward change.
I keep hearing and learning about groups and programs that are designed to promote local businesses (to limit pollution by shipping products by ground and air). And there are insane amounts of products that completely revolutionize the way we think about cleaning and using electricity. AWESOME! So anytime I hear about something cool, I'll let you know. There's tons of stuff out there, and in every city. We'll just have to look for it. :)
