We are coming to the end of our tenth month and how far we've come! We started on January 30, 2007 and talked a great deal about our own carbon footprints. We worked on light bulb changing, ecosafe cleaning products, saving heat in our homes and reducing the use of electricity.
We soon expanded to our outer environment and discussed our cars, fossil fuel, and fuels that would not cause problems for our environment. This led us to global warming and we opened up a vast expanse.
What we did do with all of this was to stop blaming companies and anyone else who was around. We accepted our responsibility and tasks-a far cry from what other climate groups were doing. "TIMES THEY WERE CHANGING".
Vice President Al Gore brought everything home to us in "An Inconvenient Truth". Our look at global warming even got bigger, but we didn't throw out all the early work so necessary to have ongoing acievements. Baking Soda, Washing Soda and Vinegar are forever etched in our brains.
We worked very hard with humor and seriousness to persue our goals to change our ways of living that were polluting the globe. We considered if, in fact, we were going through an atmospheric cycle that would change our globe for maybe a long while. If we were, we wanted to cut down on our contributions to hasten the change since its impact would be overwhelming.
Here we all are. Our numbers have grown and we are still at our work. How absolutely wonderful !
Yours, Louise B.

A friend of mine told me about Oprah's Earth Day celebration he said his company
was being endorsed on the show by Sandra Bullock. The Company is the Shaklee Corp.
As he explains, this company was the first company in the world to be Certified Climate Neutral.
I checked out the company and they have teamed up with the Million Trees Million Dreams Foundation To offset any carbon emissions.
They are also the leading producer of earth friendly, bio-degradable house hold cleaners.
All natural health and personal products. Their "Get Clean" line of house hold cleaners are said to save the average family $3400 per year and keep tons of green house gases out of the atmosphere along with hundreds of pounds of Plastic out of land fills because they are so concentrated. The link to look at the products Shaklee.com you can buy retail or join as a member and get the members price. The business link is MagicStreamline.com
I have used some of the products and they are compairable to off the counter cleaners. But better for us as a whole.

National Parks at a Turning Point Air pollution has damaged many parks - and it could get much worse Millions of Americans visit our national parks for clean air and healthy fun. Unfortunately, many could find "code red" air quality conditions and hazy skies. Air pollution continues to affect nearly everything we value about America's national parks. It degrades habitat for the plants and animals that call the parks home, puts the health of park visitors and staff at risk, causes physical damage to symbols of our heritage, and mars the scenic horizons that reveal the grandeur of our land. Clean air laws are helping the parks gradually recover from decades of pollution. But that could all change as the country is on the verge of a massive increase in the burning of coal, oil and natural gas to meet our growing energy needs. Technologies exist to burn fossil fuels more cleanly, and renewable energy sources offer viable pollution-free alternatives, but our leaders must take action. The decisions they make today about what energy sources we develop, and how cleanly we use them, will affect our air and our parks for generations to come. Through stories from parks around the country, Turning Point describes how air pollution damages our national treasures and what we need to do now to restore and protect them for future generations. Will we continue to protect against air pollution threats to the habitats, health, heritage and horizons of our national parks? Or will we fail to save them for future generations? Read Turning Point to find out!

Even as polar bears face possible extinction from rising temperatures, the EPA continues to block global warming controls on tailpipes. California and 14 other states — accounting for more than 40 percent of new car sales — are prepared to fight global warming by putting cleaner car standards in place. Tell the EPA to stop stalling and give California permission to lead the way!

Now is the Time to Support Clean Water! Polluting industries are trying to undo long-established safeguards for our local waterways and wetlands, but we now have a chance to stop them. If they have their way, up to 60 percent of our nation’s rivers and streams could be stripped of federal Clean Water Act protections.
The Clean Water Restoration Act would restore the original intent of the Clean Water Act, the law that has protected our communities from pollution and cleaned up our nation’s water - water that our kids can play in, water that supports healthy fish and wildlife populations, water that is free from dangerous toxins. We have momentum. This is the perfect opportunity as a citizen concerned with protecting all U.S. waters to ask your representative to co-sponsor the Clean Water Restoration Act. Already, 166 Members of the U.S. House are supporting this bill. Take action now to urge Congress to protect our local waters by supporting the Clean Water Restoration Act. Are you having trouble with this page? Click here. Tell me more  TAKE ACTION: Urge Congress to protect our local waters!
