Alt Fuel Distraction

It's a good article, but, as Kaela says, might be more effective in the style of Mark Twain.  We've got to find a way to reach the masses who don't believe we have an impact...as well as those who believe but feel hopeless about it.

It wouldn't hurt to throw in a bunch of ideas of things people can do to lessen their own individual carbon footprints - things that won't turn their lifestyles upside-down overnight.  Give them the fact on how they can not only help the environment by making small changes, but also save themselves MONEY...there it is!

Changing lightbulbs to CSLs, turning off lights, doing laundry at night, watering lawn at night, recycling, carpooling, not letting the car idle while sitting in the carpool line, using the dryer less and a drying rack or clothesline, not washing towels & sheets every day (people actually do this!)...the list goes on and on.

Someone else mentioned the importance of fact-checking - we can't afford to put out any information that isn't correct.

Somehow find a way to plant a little seed in there regarding how huge a difference we could make as individuals...and if we did that, it would be easier to get the government to act accordingly.On A new reliance on coal could sap green cred from the ethanol industry posted 3 years, 6 months ago 17 Responses
