Getting Green Started Again!

Most of the attention being on Health Care reform lately has pushed the headlines of our Planet to the Back Burners. We have to get them to the Front, and Soon!
This Being a Blog about mainly the Health of Our Planet and the living creatures(including us) on it, is only going to Get much Better, and very fast since HCR passed!
As far as Global Warming goes, its still here and growing with a vengeance - http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/3/25/850908/-Rapid-melt-spreads-to-NW-Greenland,-400ppm-CO2-may-melt-cap

As far as what I think is Just as important, which is The Environment in General, the best thing that will reach the most amount of people is this weekends Environmental Film Festival -http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/23/AR2010032303432.html

The health of our planet also encompasses Our Health as people, and the sustainability we can achieve. This takes on many facets including how and what we decide to eat. This is a great place to start -http://www.sustainabletable.org/home.php
I will offer up much more in the form of ideas, challenges, recipes, and downright pleas for cooperation with changing your diet, not just for the health of the planet, but for You!

Energy is another topic we will dive into here because it is an important piece of the puzzle we have to deal with. The heat and cooling we need in our home is very important to this planet because the energy it requires is Huge. Their are very simple and creative means to get heat and cooling without using the vast amounts of energy that most of us now use.
The next blog entry will give you a few of my own answers to this, of which I have been using for over 20 years. I have some measuring to do, so if you will excuse me for a few hours, meet me back here ASAP.
Thank you,
Steve Souza
