No amount of legislation or green initiatives will do the trick unless we are committed to changing how we life – its that simple.

Sorry Global Warming fans, you and Al Gore have yet to convince me that humans are causing any real temperature change. Global Warming advocates point to a couple degree temperature change over the past century – can all of you tell me with certainty that temperature measuring devices from 1900 were as dead-on accurate as ones today? This planet has gone through incredible change over billions of years – our single century of supposed damage is but a speck of time in the planet’s history, one where its seen extremes of heat and cold and periods of warming and cooling. Heck, barely 25 years ago, the same scientists screaming about global warming today were in a Time magazine cover story about whether we were heading for another Ice Age.

I am all for the green movement and everything that’s happened over the past decade to improve our environment, but I just can’t buy global warming being caused by humans. Sorry.

I’m glad that you are eager to take action to stop climate change!

Purchasing products that have a low-impact on the environment (VOCs, CO2, etc) is one great way to tell companies that we want them to be more environmentally conscious.

There are great resources out there for consumers looking to be more sustainable- we wrote about 5 simple things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint here:

You should also check out the Energy Star website which has many great resources for reducing energy consumption: http://www.energystar.gov/

Another great way to help the environment is to talk to your legislators about regulating carbon. The U.S. has no federal carbon regulation program, though 1 regional carbon cap and trade program has been established: http://www.rggi.org

At the Clean Air Conservancy, we promote market-based solutions, like carbon cap and trade, to climate change.

There are many great ways to keep your corner of the world in good shape for future generations- we commend you for taking the first steps towards doing so!
