Cool Hot Heads & Work Together for Planet -- 350.org

Paul Bunyan had his hands full when he tried to make a sweetheart out of Lucette Diana Kensack. She says to him:
"Have you ever looked around the woods after you're through? They're a mess! I can't go marrying a man who expects me or someone else to clean up after him."

Well, through three funny love tests in Paul Bunyan's Sweetheart, she has Paul convinced he has to start thinking and acting differently if he wants to win Lucette and keep those forests growing even while he's logging, keep those sparkling lakes clear and swimmable, and keep the air smelling piney and fresh and even more appealing than French perfume.

What about us? We've got our chance, too, to start learning how to clean up after ourselves on this planet. Who wants a planet that's too hot for polar bears, too stormy and drought-ridden in places for crops, and too dirty for clean air and clean water for all.

On October 24th, scientists, religious people, and lovers of nature and the human race are joining together in small and large groups to show how they want to change their actions and work with others to change our communities and nation to do what we can to work with the planet to clean up the air and slow the warming of the planet.

Maybe you -- along with your family and/or friends -- can start or join in some action in your community. Go see the 350.org website.

You can also find many ways at home, school, and while you're hanging out with friends to use less electricity (turn of teh lights, use electronic devices less, etc.); to bike, walk, run or skateboard more to events, gang your trips, or carpool; plant trees and gardens; get outside more -- go camping, birdwatching, canoeing, exploring, fort-building, playing night games in your neighborhood, etc. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. The more you love the outdoors, the more you will find ways to care for it and us all.
