Go Green

Last night I saw a very sad thing. In Alaska a very small village is basically falling into the ocean at a rather speedy time line. A school teacher said that 40 feet of land has disappeard from the front of his mom's house since the time he was a kid playing in front of his house near the ocean. The teacher looked like he might be 50 years old so that tells me that a foot of earth is falling into the ocean each year. What happens is the ice is melting a little sooner each spring thus the ocean washes up unto the beach and takes a little more with it each year. It is sad. They are wondering should they try to move the whole village inland or let each one go inland by himself. The community is such a close knit community they want to stay together. This area has been populated for over 4000 years according to their facts. Well, how can I help? Save on paper, recyle juice cans and plastic containers, save on gas by not going up town every day, and plant a few trees this spring.
