10 New Charts That Will Make You Want To Stop Global Warming

10 New Charts That Will Make You Want To Stop Global Warming.

This is not about proof or who is the cause. This is about making sure I hand down the tools that future generations might (or might not for all the skeptics) need. In any case these tools will be useful if none of this happens or the will ensure the survival of the people that are prepared. Remember the old story of giving a man a fish and he can eat for a day or give a man a fishing line/pole and he can feed his family for a lifetime? We have the responsibility and are accountable to future generations to give them as many tools as we can to handle whatever the future holds. The Earth will survive no matter what because the Earth has no greed or expectations or money or value or self-interest or religion. We really are that insignificant in the larger scheme of the Universe.

Top Tips for Finding Responsible Animal Tourism – Ecotourism Blog – GreenLoons.

Where do you go to see animals? Do you have to go to a foreign country to see wild animals? Do you think about this issue of responsible tourism? Is it sustainable also? Who determines this? Do this help the animals in any way, shape or form? If this costs more money why should WE have to pay it?

A Prescription For Nature | National Parks Conservation Association

A Prescription For Nature | National Parks Conservation Association.

What can I say? I feel regenerated when I experience nature outdoors. When I am in The Bahamas I can stand by the shore and feel the breeze blowing in my face and wonder how far did this breath of air come to blow in my face? I can look up at night and see light from a million stars and wonder will I ever experience another world? What do get out of being in the outdoors?

powering florida and empowering florida’s natural habitats

I believe Florida (and all states in the US) need to first become as efficient and effective as they can. This is the low hanging fruit so to speak. Then we can have the time, money and energy surplus to work on these alternative energy resources like garbage, solar and bio-gas.

How do bitcoins fit in the sustainable world?

One they are not made of a resource so that don’t have any ‘direct’ natural cost of externals.

Secondly, they can and hopefully will be accepted in a way that promotes community and sharing instead of greed and stratification.

Thinking about this makes my head hurt. I know it has to be done but I have to take my time. This attitude about nature and the environment has been so ingrained in me that I have to pick through my expectations and assumptions. Is this a valuable exercise for you?
