GroovyGreen.com – Start Today :: Save Tomorrow

Time this week published a global warming issue.

I wish I could say there was some ground breaking information in there, but there really wasn’t. The list of 51 things to you can do now was pretty much a rehash of the same old things we’ve all been hearing. If you aren’t doing some of these easy, low fruit type of things already it’s probably because you just aren’t going to be motivated, regardless of how many times the list is published. Much better I thought was our recent list of things you can do to prepare for Peak Oil, which you can see here and here.

The article that discussed what countries are doing to prepare for the new world with higher sea levels was rather interesting. Especially considering we haven’t done jack squat to prepare, as far as I can tell.

I think I would rather have seen an issue that discussed what real life people are doing to prepare/minimize their impact to the earth. By default simple actions there decrease you individual contribution to a host of problems plaguing the earth. I think that would have been more insightful than discussing the same ideas over and over.

I was also going to write up something about the recent “green” Fortune magazine, but Mark at Green Options beat me too it. The article about Patagonia was incredibly fascinating to me, mostly because I hadn’t heard they did some of the things they advocated were even possible. Recycling fleece? Who knew you could do that? You can read some of the information here.
