Though we’ve been getting a lot more rain in Atlanta lately, I’ve clearly been in a blogging drought. Life has gotten in the way, but hopefully a revised shorter-entry approach will get me back on track.
Lord knows, there is a lot to talk about! While critical questions about climate change have gotten little airtime in the presidential race thus far, the “go green” movement is all the rage and countless corporations are hopping on board. I was most amused with a recent Chevy truck ad that featured two men driving other brands of pickup truck who were stranded and out of gas on the side of the road, until a Chevy truck driver who was clearly getting better gas mileage rescues them. Sheesh, I thought, that takes some major spin to get the consumer to be impressed by Chevy truck gas mileage.
Which leads me to my renewed purpose for this blog: what choices can we make that will have the greatest positive effect on our warming planet, and which choices are red herrings?
