Hi,
Has anyone seen An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore? I haven't, but I watched Oprah yesterday as she interviewed him about the DVD. It is frightening to say the least. And yes, I do feel sorry for the poor Polar Bears. We all have a choice in this - they, however, do not.
My question however is this: on Oprah, Al Gore suggested purchasing energy efficient appliances in order to stop the emissions of Carbon Dioxide. Do we get energy efficient appliances here in South Africa?
And then, they have a website in America where you can donate money to have trees planted (which aid in combating the effects of global warming) - once again, is there anything like that here in South Africa?
Basically, what can we do, as citizens in South Africa to curb Global Warming – here in South Africa?
Looking forward to your input and info.
Regards,
M.

Just came across this site for South Africans who wish to plant a tree: http://www.goedgedachttrust.org.za/index.asp - sponsor them and they will plant a tree.
In my humble opinion, it stands to reason - with or without proof - that if humanity continues to be wasteful of its energy resources (whether through fuel inefficiencies, litter, deforestation, etc), there is bound to be consequences some where along the line. We were put here to look after the planet, and I don't see a good job of that being done anywhere.
