She’s a new character who sets an example for our young generation, showing them small and simple ways to improve their immediate environment. She even made an oven out of a pizza box!

It really does help to conserve energy. You can also turn off the water while you're actually brushing your teeth. The small stuff adds up. I definitely think you're right about needing to start conservation now. The problem is, scientists can't agree on how bad the situation is, nor can they agree on which methods are going to be more efficient. This topic has been going around all day - even in my sociology class, interestingly enough - about some solutions they're currently debating on, particularly as it deals with land fills. The two options it seems they're leaning towards are nuclear reactors - which are efficient, but have a whole slew of things that come with it, and the other is to jettison everything to space. I think the latter option sounds good, except that eventually it may come back. Anyway, I just find it interesting so I thought I'd share.

Just showing respect for the planet and your fellow humans can teach you deep lessons and create a more disciplined you. Good stuff :) I especially like the low carbon diet ;P It’s never too hard to do the basics–regardless of where you stand on the whole greenhouse effect.

Oh, wait. Maybe not :) My wife isn't a fan of CFB, but I have snuck a few into spots where she doesn't notice. I've also tricked out a floor lamp in the dark lower level of the house to push out a lot more lumens than would be possible with incandescent (it's limited to 60w bulbs) and I'm still using less power.
