Wicked! It fills my heart with hope that you are so involved with the survival of our species. I am a grade 6/7 teacher, and my class has been focusing on environmental issues all year. They now understand the greenhouse effect and the causes, effects, and solutions (what us humans can do) of global warming. They are so jazzed up that they won't let me turn the heat on in the class! Or the lights!! And it's getting darn cold!

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your inaugaral comments on our blog! We're so thrilled someone found it in the big ol' internet.
John Godfrey, the Liberal Environment critic did reply to our letter regarding the Clean Air Act and said he was in agreement. Yay John!
