Climate Change - What to Do About Global Warming?

So, today I read that an annual climate report says that Greenland's ice melted more in 2010 than in any year since they began reporting it in 1958. It's just one of many little bits of news that pop up in the news links on my Yahoo home page.

This is hardly the first time I've read this kind of thing, and it's becoming more accepted every day that we have a climate change problem on our hands. But what are we going to do about it?

I don't know, but looking at the way I run my day, I'd say we need to change the way we go about our business.

Today I'm thinking about work. That's where I'll be today from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. During lunch I'll read my book. My attention all day will be on doing my job.

On the way to and from work, I'll listen to my iPod in the car--perhaps XM Radio. After work, I'm going to play music with my band, Red Paint. I'll have a couple of beers, play our music, and then come home. I'll futz around a little and then go to bed.

Will I do anything today to make a difference in our environmental situation? Not likely. How about you?

Who is going to solve this problem if we're all too busy going about our business to do anything constructive?

Something to think about.
