Gas Prices = BLESSING!!!

With gas prices in some areas reaching a whopping $5.00, and the national average at $4.02, it’s a sign from the man upstairs that we seriously need to do something about our emissions and the U.S. carbon footprint.

As Americans cut back on gas, they are also finding different ways to get to work, and around their town, that don’t include the easy “buy a fuel efficient car” mentality that most Americans have nowadays. Some of these ways include taking the bus; getting a group of people at work, or that work in a relatively close area, and take turns picking everyone up and driving them to work and back; riding their bikes to work, and many different and creative ways.

I also found a great channel for those of you with Digital Cable (Satellite users…I don’t know if the companies offer this channel), it’s called Planet Green. This channel offers shows, and covers topics, on every aspect of a person’s life…from home to work, and from the classroom to recreation. A great website that compliments this channel really well is, and don’t be mistaken by the name…it truly is a great site, Treehugger.Com. This site not only educates people on what global warming is and the effects of the greenhouse gases, but it informs people on 1) how to go green; 2) Gives links on buying green items; 3) Gives links for “green gifts”; and 4) Gives areas (forums, blogs, etc.) on where people can discuss what’s going on in today’s world, different ways people have gone green, etc.
