Global warming and the worldwide results of carbon pollution are like the national debt. It’s an overwhelming problem that lots of people would love to fix, but since most of us don’t know anything we can do it seems incurable.

If all this talk about global warming, deforestation, chemicals in your food, etc. are making you anxious you can get help. Melissa Pickett, an … [Read more...]

I am thrilled! I hope he wins. :) Read more … [Read more...]
