I was able to reduce my carbon emmisions by half this year by installing solar panels on my house. The new way Americans can show their patriotism is not only hanging a flag on our houses, but hanging solar panels made in the USA on our roofs. We need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil today!

In Jan. 06, we had 802 unique hits. The numbers rose steadily until in Feb. 07 we had 6,549 unique hits. And those come from all over the world. This morning, I got a call from a man in Ughanda who has asked for my organization's help in environmental initiatives he is attempting to enact. I wrote the Go Green Initiative on my kitchen table in 2002, and it is now operational in 32 states, Europe and Cameroon, Africa. We don't have much money or glitz, but the program is catching on like wildfire for a few simple reasons: 1. We do not believe that the best in people is extracted through efforts to mandate, regulate and legislate our behavior. The Go Green Initiative inspires people to be creative and innovative in finding ways to create a "culture of conservation" in their communities. There is no legislation or taxation driving the success of our program. 2. Unlike other enviornmental programs that seek to save the planet FROM human beings, we seek to save the planet FOR human beings...and that one word difference makes all the difference. 3. We produce tangilbe results that people are proud to join with. By combining the efforts of all our affiliates, we can demonstrate substantive environmental impact, so people can see the cumulative effect of their own individual efforts. We have over one million students and teachers involved in our program now, and in 2006 their recycling and waste diversion efforts resulted in the avoidance of the following: • 22.9 billion BTUs of energy use • 1,389 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions • 10,234,000 gallons of water • 555,560 gallons of oil • 5,194 cubic yards of landfill space, due to paper recycling alone The Go Green Initiative operates on a very simple premise...waste not, want not. Future generations will need the natural resources we either save for them, or take from them. You don't have to believe humans are causing climate change if you don't want to, but we can all recycle and preserve our national treasures.

Utlimately we are creatures of habit, so if the change is difficult we tend to avoid it. I would love to see some promominent services offer convenient forms of paricipation... Easy car sharing, recylcing delivery services, etc. There isn't much money in it, so I assume it'll take years before something takes off. I realize there are plenty of car sharing services, but adoption is low... What's or who is going to be the catalyst? I hate to say it, but I hope consumer gas prices double in the states. Money seems to be the great motivator. I have found that people think that just watching Al Gore’s movie is participating in the solution.
