Cool videos and websites

This is a cool video that makes the concept of greenhouse gasses more comprehensible.

Alicia, Amanda, and I went to ChangeIt07, which is a great week long summer program created Greenpeace and Seventh Generation to train and inspire college students to make a difference on their campus. We all learned a lot and had a great time! This is a great video that really sums up ChangeIt and the passion and dedication of 200 students.

You can calculate your carbon footprint!

I calculated mine, and unfortunately, even with all my recycling, canvas bag toting, and public transportation, I still create at least 16 tons of CO2 per year. That's insane.

Let us know if you have anything to share with us on the blog, whether its a video, news clip, or a good idea!
