YouTube – The Most Terrifying Video You’ll Ever See

I can’t remember how I found this video exactly, but it’s a brilliant bit of education for those who think climate change is not real so we shouldn’t take ANY action.  Even the biggest Al Gore skeptic will be interested in what this guy has to say.

If anyone has purchased tickets for or attended a music festival lately (Coachella, Bonnaroo, Outsidelands Music Festivals), you have the option of Greening your ticket.

Heres an example of your options as posted on the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival website.

Greening Your Ticket
Opt to donate $1 or 3 to help “green” your ticket at the time you buy it, and your donation will be used in one of the following ways:

Reforestation. Trees naturally remove CO2 from the atmosphere and can help fight climate change by storing carbon in their trunks, roots, and branches. PG&E ClimateSmarts reforestation projects will also benefit wildlife and water quality by permanently protecting and restoring California’s native forests. Visit www.pge.com/climatesmart

Offset your festival experience. This $3 donation will be used to purchase (and then retire) pollution credits on the Chicago Climate Exchange. By buying and then retiring these credits, we will directly prevent polluting companies from buying them and using them as a “right to pollute.”

In the past I would have professed my love of reliability and durability and how I want the best product regardless of origin. Read the rest of this entry »
