101 Reasons to Reduce your Carbon Footprint in 2007

January 3rd, 2007

For the first time in my life, my hometown, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada had a green Christmas. A Christmas without even a hint of snow is not Christmas in Northern Ontario. On a positive note, it brought the awareness of Global Warming close to home.

Many people look at the absence of snow as a blessing but forget that Global Warming doesn’t mean any more snow; it simply means there will be greater amounts of snow in shorter periods of time—a higher frequency of heavy precipitation in small timeframes and more intense droughts.

Reduce your carbon footprint!

Here are 101 reasons you should make changes within your lives—today.
