The Big Break
Enough, already! The usual media networks were focusing in on the funeral of President Gerald Ford and the USA assassination hanging of President Saddam Hussein. Again and again, they'd repeated the same stories for three days; keeping people's attention off the the world around us. The under reported melting of Canada's ice shelf and other environmental abnormalities and their ramifications the world is hearing about are more important by far! (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/12/061229-arctic-ice.html)
The war in Iraq has damaged the entire world and it's flora and fauna worse than previous wars, if only because of the use of depleted uranium in USAs bombs.
A few conscious people know how we are suffering from the heavy metals we take in with every breath. E. coli (which is fecal matter) is often in the water and foods we consume.

There is pollution everywhere and in everything.
We can't continue to be the selfish, independent, isolationist USA we once were since our country is causing the majority of the damage to Earth. In the 1960's was taught that the industrial revolution put too much CO2 into the air. The amount that is in the air right now, cannot be removed. The whole idea was to have stopped putting more CO2 into the air some forty-five years ago. However, with corporations having to spend a little money on their current manufacturing operations, it has always been as if we were sticking a knife into their million profits and CEOs end of year bonuses. The dollar was more important than the country, so, they would move to another and another country. With earth contaminated so much now; the corporations are pouring dollars into the space station maybe a moon base and exploration to find Earth Two.

I know we all can do an Internet search or library research to find the answers to why the following points are important, so I won't repeat it here. Do something different a hundred per cent of the time.
If you make resolutions at this time of year, or any changes to your lifestyle at any time of the year, please include these:
1. Use compact fluorescent bulbs. They last four times longer but use 25 percent of the energy.
2. Buy a reusable water bottle.
3. Pull the plug on electronics and chargers. Mobile phones, iPods, digital cameras and other electronics use energy, even if they are turned off, if the charger is still going.
4. Take shorter showers.
5. Buy a hybrid car.
6. Create idle-free zones in parking lots.
7. Buy local food products so less fuel is required to transport products to the market.
8. Bring cloth bags to the market to cut the use of plastic and paper.
9. Put on a sweater instead of turning up the heat in your home.
10.Use recycled paper. Switch your home and business paper products to 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper, saving countless trees and 5 pounds of carbon dioxide per ream of paper.

PS
They believe in some small towns in Mexico, that the first twelve days of the new year will represent the weather for the twelve months, example; if it rains on the tenth of January it means October will be a rainy month.
I still make a point to check every new year, but it doesn't hold true anymore.
