    So true! I was wondering about what I could do -- thanks for linking to a list. Thought you might like this Song for a Warming Planet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t08CLczdK4

      Yes, I've seen that video before. Interesting how music express the problem so succinctly.

    Nice to see the list, Michelle. I helped a class pick up trash in our nearby wetlands/creek area today. We hauled in quite a few bags full. Sad to see what people leave behind.

      Good job! I hope you and your class gave each other pats on the back.
