Earth Day
Earth Day was yesterday.
The BBC has a photo essay which depicts several "then and now" shots of world landmarks to show the effects of global warming. The difference over the course of a few years is stark.
You can check your ecological footprint here. I am embarrassed to say my own personal footprint is 26 acres. I blame that on this city's lack of quality public transportation.

Me too:
CATEGORY ACRES
FOOD 5.7
MOBILITY 1.2
SHELTER 8.4
GOODS/SERVICES 10.9
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 26
19 acres. I think my score is chiefly due to the small size of our house (820 square feet).
20 acres, due to a smaller living space and a short commute.
I am not denying that there is a global warming problem, but the BBC pictures need to state whether they were taken during the same month/season. If you took a snow covered picture of Indiana in Jan., then it would look different than a snow covered picture in July.
