Carbon Footprint Tips

This is a serious question and one which I have been pondering for months. I sense that government propaganda urges citizens to take personal responsibility for global warming and to change their lifestyles. What is the point of changing to economy light bulbs, recycling everything and reducing my fuel consumption, if the war machine of men, weapons and the means to transport them continues to operate in the same way? Compared to a fighter plane, my ageless Mazda is a mouse.
There are some passionate, emotive answers here but I really want to know if anyone has worked out the carbon footprint of HMG?

Question for those in a business environment?

Posted by admin on Mar-30-2010

I am close to completing my bachelors degree. I majored in professional writing, and I believe my skills as a writer are very well rounded. I have learned to write across many areas. I just want to know if my skills could be utilized in a business environment. I have experience writing memos, grant proposals, etc. Anyone have suggestions about what I should do upon graduation?

My son was given a 1 yr old boa and he had a mouse in there but he would not eat it. He is acting like he is hungry but I am not sure what size mouse we should get it. He also seems to be dormant a lot, is this because he is in a new environment? Also what temperature should his aquarium be at? THe guy did not give us a thermostat or anything but a heat lamp for the aquarium. I haven’t had a snake in almost 20 years so I am not sure what to get him.
