When I hear the words climate change and global warming I feel pressure and guilt. I realize that lifestyle has a direct impact on these issues and that my lifestyle (the western-industrial-developed lifestyle) is an unsustainable model. My response to this realization is to actively work towards reduction in my activities that contribute to the processess of global warming. This is a huge challenge. It is not easy to give up the luxurious ammenities of what has become known as the "good" life. However, if we take immediate action to create healthy energy alternatives that move us away from fossil fuel consumption, then we will have done something beneficial. This is my goal.
