Is it hot in here, or is it just me?

by Constantine

Was this an extremely hot summer or what? Seems there were two camps on the issue of global warming-- the disbelievers and the activists. Then, there was people like me who really didn't care.

But I'm happy to say that I've changed my tune since I moved out of New York City, where I am pretty sure recycling doesn't even exist. If I've learned anything, it's that Oregonians know how to say 'I love you' to mother earth. It took a little getting used to, but now I'm recycling everything. And riding my bicycle instead of driving. I'm even washing my clothes in cold water and taking shorter showers. Yes, I'm a changed woman.

Here are some sources I've dug up for your reading pleasure.

Of all the places, I found this short flash movie presenting ten things you can do to combat global warming, on Leonardo Dicaprio's eco friendly website. He includes sections on water, global warming, biodiversity and sustainability.

Click here to watch the disquieting trailer for Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth on stopglobalwarming.org where you can also sign up for the virtual march against global climate change. The list of partners on this website includes Blue Man Group, Incubus, the Philadelphia Eagles, Lollapalooza, Kiehls...

Obviously, all the cool kids are doing it. And if that's not enough incentive-- do it for Leo.
