Earth Day is coming - 2010 the hottest year ever. Do something.
Edited on Thu Apr-21-11 06:49 PM by SpiralHawk
Do not let paid Republicon propaganda pimps & SuckerPuppets dissuade you from taking positive action to support the health of our planet on Earth Day, and every day.

Do not let the fear and negativity of RepubliBaggers dissuade you from taking positive courageous action. This is the land of the free and the Home of the Brave, despite chickenhawk Republicon denial of that reality.

-------

"2010 was the warmest year on record. And it was warm. We were on the phone one day with our 350 crew in Pakistan and one of them said, 'It's hot out here today,' and I was surprised to hear him say it because it's usually hot in Pakistan during the summer.

"He said, no it's really hot. We just set the new, all time Asia temperature record, 129 degrees. That kind of heat melts the arctic. That kind of heat causes drought so deep across Russia that the Kremlin stops all grain exports. That kind of heat causes the flooding that still has 4 million people across Pakistan homeless tonight...."

- Bill McKibben, Speaking at the National Power Shift Conference, 2011

2. Big or small, any and every action matters...
Here's just one wee list of possibilities.

A simple google search will open up a Vast Horizon of positive possibilities for people of all ages.

It's not what "I" want you, or anyone, to do. It's what you may -- should -- want to do for yourself, your family, your children, and the grandchildren you may someday have...
