Last Night I viewed "An Inconvenient Truth". Didn't think that a slide show would hold my attention but this one did. Al Gore has done a masterful job in showing us how far along on the wrong side of preservation we are. This society that we live in, has to do better in protecting ourselves from the damage that we unwittingly to our planet. I never gave any thought to Recycling but now it is one of the things that I am personally committing to learning about and practicing. We also have to demand more of our elected officials. They enable the large corporations to litter and pollute our planet in the name of profit. I have example that is as close as my front door. There is all around my neighborhood, a large number of new houses and businesses being built, in the process of doing that, large areas of trees are cleared away and with that, wildlife as well. What few have thought about is that by clearing out all of the trees and pouring all that concrete, when it rains, the water has no where to go, causing flash floods through out most of the city. There was a valuable lesson to be learned from tropical storm Allison, though no one seemed to grasp that lesson. My advice to everyone is to see "An Inconvenient Truth" and educate yourself on how you can do your part to make a change. Our children's lives depend on it. I also want to tell everybody about Current TV. It is television programed by the viewers. Viewers make the video's that air on the network. It's the new way to connect the global village. I have a link in the links section in the sidebar, if you are interested. Check it out. Until next time, Be well. Abner
