The One (easy) Green Thing To Do
Jimmy Seidita narrows down the list of green things that we might all do to help the environment to one thing:
“OK. Ready for your one hard thing that you must do to save the planet? Here it is:
1. Actively support the Obama administration’s efforts to limit carbon emissions.
That’s it. That’s all you need to do. But really do it. Talk to your friends, relatives and neighbors about it. E-mail your congressman about it. Tell him you want action on climate this year, even if it means paying a little more for gas or electricity. Write your local newspaper. Join a climate organization. Wear a button. Put it on your Facebook. Twitter it, goddammit, whatever that means. Do all that, and you can leave the old light bulbs in place, give your kids the bottled water, and drive your SUV to the end of your driveway to pick up the mail. Just do everything you can to help the administration pass its climate program this year.”
