Why We Need Change

I came across this article today that someone posted on Facebook that explains why it is so important for us to change the way that we live our lives.  Read the article here:

It discusses how the climate is changing more rapidly than even the worst case scenarios predicted in 2007 by the IPCC report.  

What types of things do you do to reduce your carbon footprint?  Every action that you make can make a difference. However, it is getting to the point that we have to do more than just make minor changes.  We have to spread the word and help others to make those changes too.  How have you done this?  How do you set an example for others to follow?

Like I mentioned in the last post, I plan to change the reason for this blog to be more about actions that you can take to spread the word and help the environment.  I will still mention businesses from time to time, but I think that it is more important at this point in time to talk about the necessary actions that we must take in order to greatly reduce our collective carbon footprint.  Let me know if you have any ideas or requests that you would like me to cover!
