It's So Easy Being Green

In addition to the lengthy list of movies I want to see this summer, I did make time to see An Inconvenient Truth. What a great movie! And, as my son says, you can be a Republican and still be Green. And what is truly inspiring is what each of us can do to help the planet. It's easy stuff, too, like eliminating ten miles of driving each week. That's doable! I also am trading out all of my regular lightbulbs (and I must confess I like the "reveal" bulbs) for florescent reduced usage bulbs. They reduce electric use by almost 75%! Some things I am already doing, like making a point to change my air filters on my home airconditioner regularly. IT's not hard, but everyone needs to help. The movie inspires you to do your part, and as someone who has seen several of our planet's most beautiful glaciers, it makes a difference when we all make just a little effort.
