Shifted Priorities

I had imagined tonight would involve a post about our fantastic camping trip; however, we have just returned home from seeing An Inconvenient Truth with Jo and Scott (husband and wife, both from Ireland, Scott just started working with Luke) and the details of our weekend in the great outdoors seem far from important. You can see our camping photos here if you are interested.

PLEASE SEE THIS MOVIE!! This applies to everyone, it is so easy to brush things aside saying "I'll get to this later." Time is not a luxury we have and this movie is very compelling. I'm brainstorming now for ways to get involved and make a difference. It is your own responsibility to do your part and it's not as hard as you might think. Drive less, walk/cycle more, take transit. Don't be one of the single occupancy vehicles guzzling gas and clogging the freeways. Eat locally, eat organic. Recycle. Be aware of the impact you are having on the planet. Get involved in your community, make environmentally aware choices (buy recycled/recyclable products, vote for environmentally conscious politicians).... Global warming is a very serious, threatening issue and it is real, but if everyone does their part, we can make a difference and ensure that our children and grandchildren have forests to walk in, rivers to swim in and majestic snow capped mountains to stare at in awe and amazement (all of which we did this weekend while camping). :)
