Global Cooling, Personal Version

1. Ditch any car that doesn't get at least 30 miles to the gallon.
2. Buy local. It reduces the amount of gas used to transport products.
3. Use a clothesline, not a dryer.
4. At home, wear sweaters during the winter, shorts in the summer.
5. Install solar paneling.
6. Switch to fluorescent light bulbs.
7. Follow the issues, and vote.

This is the short version of an article from today's San Francisco Chronicle. For the longer version, click here: Seven steps you can take to fight warming of planet. This article actually manages to put a lot of useful information into a compact format. This was the first, and one of the worst, muggy hot Delaware summers that we didn't use AC. We survived, and feel morally superior into the bargain. Who could ask for more?

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
