Carbon Footprint

I just took a survey on LiveEarth.org to determine my carbon footprint. The ECP score ranges from 150-900, according to Earthlab.com, who runs the program. The lower your score, the better. Mine was 168.

In our apartment, Shaun and I have switched out almost all of our light bulbs with high efficiency bulbs. I walk or use public transportation to get to and from work every day of the week, and we recycle.

After attending Live Earth and watching the facts and statistics scroll across the screen throughout the day, I've realized that a lot of MINOR changes can go a LONG way. Make the switch - swap out your incandescent bulbs with CFL lighting. It's one small step that, if done by many people, can really add up.

A Question in Parts

I want to ask a question in several parts:

What do we get
For our time

What do we get
When the tide rises high

What do we get
For our patience

What do we get
When the dark clouds roll in

What do we get
For our fear and our courage

What do we get
When the going gets tough

What do we get
For our love?

There is no one answer
But today it is loneliness

Noticed An Unposted Entry From 2005

I was reviewing some of the blog entries I have written in the past (there are almost 400 posts now) and discovered one that was never published. I didn't finish reading it, so perhaps there's something in there that I didn't want anyone to see, but the post itself was saved as a draft all the same. I felt it should get its moment in the spotlight as do all my other posts.
