Before I get to this post, I will be out of town until late Tuesday. I will have someone else post the comments. On Monday and early Tuesday, feel free to discuss what ever is on your mind when it comes to the subject of climate change, basically an open forum for a day. Please keep your comments on the topic at hand....climate change and let's be nice! If it goes well, there will be more open forum days in the future.

I saw this article in the Seattle Times. It basically talks about a new book by Eric Sorensen which is titled..."Seven Wonders for a Cool Planet: Everyday Things to Help Solve Global Warming". Eric Sorensen used to write for the Seattle Times and now works with the Sightline Institute, which is a Seattle based environmental think tank. Here is a breakdown of his seven items.......

1. Bicycle (0 CO2 emissions)
2. Condom (reduces population growth) Let's keep the comments in line with regards to this one please.
3. Ceiling Fan (Thermostat can be lowered).
4. Library book (reused books, less need for newly manufactured goods).
5. Microchip
6. The clothesline
7. Tomatoes (They are indeed easy to grow with many uses)

What are your thoughts about this list? Which item, if any, do you think would have the biggest impact on climate change if used by a high percentage of the population?
