I am concerned with the mis- informed public on the devastation of Galveston Island, Texas. It is overwhelming, and I hear nothing of it Nationally! I have taken many photographs, I would love to share. Hurricane Ike was just as devastating as Katrina. Why are they being ignored? Is it more important to joke about the idiots running for office, than the many families without a home? I want the people to take notice - We are suffering

Big Green Foot Sightings All Across Vermont and Surrounding States
Vermont Home Schooling Family Owns Up and Takes Responsibility!
A family in Wells, Vermont is leaving green footprints across the region, and expects to soon see their Green footprints on cars across the country.
What started out as a school project to raise environmental awareness has turned into a business for the Emmons family, who created the “Greenfoot” car magnet.
The green magnet in the shape of a footprint, which has the phrase “Keep it Green” across the top, is meant to remind people of their carbon footprint and encourage everyone to live a “green” life.
David Emmons, his wife Janet, and their three children, Maxson, 19, Katie, 13, and Abbie, 11, are using this project to spread the message of the importance of living “Green”.
“It started out as a science lesson for the two home-schooled girls last July and over time turned into a lesson on responsibility, community and working together to make a change,” David Emmons said.
“We were working on how we impact our environment,” Janet Emmons said, “and we started seeing how if we each just change a little bit then we could have a noticeable impact on the world.”
As a school project that applied hands-on practical application, the girls were asked to think of a way to raise awareness on the impact an individual’s lifestyle can have on the environment and to let people know how easy it can be to reduce a person’s carbon footprint. After considering billboards and other ideas, the family decided to work together on creating car magnets. “We all figured it would be something you could see all the time,” Janet Emmons said.
The family went right to work. “Our daily life became all about artwork, trademarks, copyrights, packaging, displays, and more artwork, we each had a part to play in this creative process,” David said.
“We determined from the start that we would have everything made locally so that the children would see first hand the positive impact you can have on our own community,” their mother said. With the help of a local print shop to print the package the magnet is sold with and a Hubbardton blacksmith to make displays out of recycled products, the children were able to watch every step of the process.
“They’ve seen this from the idea and sketch on a piece of paper right down to the finished thing,” their father said.
Through the process the family incorporated school and life lessons in art, marketing, advertising and much more, but what the family learned most was the importance of living green and the impact individuals can have on the world.
“I learned that by doing little things in your daily life, little things like recycling and turning off lights when you leave a room, can really help,” Katie said. “I’ve always tried to recycle … but now I really think about things like ‘I should probably turn this off,’” she said. “I’m definitely more aware of it now.”
Maxson said one thing he learned was the effect anyone, including families in small-town Vermont, can have on their world. “It’s been exciting to watch this whole thing take off,” he added.
The lessons learned were exactly what their mother said she had hoped for at the beginning of the project.
”The main thing I wanted them to learn is that they can make a difference. So many times people feel powerless in the world and I think they learned that everybody doing a little can affect the world,” she said.
Since hitting store shelves in June, the “Greenfoot” magnets’ popularity is growing. The family routinely spots the magnets as they travel around Vermont, David Emmons said. Although he said it is exciting to see magnets on what he calls “vehicles of awareness,” the family sees this as the beginning wave of people committing to a lifestyle of living “green”. “Our dream is to raise awareness all across the country,” their father said.
To help make this dream come true, the family has constructed a Web site at http://www.gogreenfoot.com. The site allows people to share what they are doing to live a “greener” life, get tips on what they can do to help and learn more about the project. You can buy your Greenfoot magnet on the site and storeowners will find information on how to order them for their stores.

Amigos Mios.
Por favor, el idioma deberia ser un puente de unio no lo que esta siendo para una organizacion con un fin tan comun, nos une a todos.
Creo tener unos cuantos dones que Dios cede en la sensibilidad al hombre para desde la imaginacion y en combinacion con la razon, unir las intersecciones que todas las materias y conocimientos pueda el hombre usar para este fin, salvar la vida hoy, pero sin duda no se explica en 5 minutos, necesito una hora, solo una hora, en la que regalo a la humanidad todas las ideas que broten de mi, ideas que unidasd entre si relacionan todo el universo toda la responsabilidad del hombre y lo que es mas importante, generam cada idea, la necesidad imperiosa de colaborar en la union de la causa por todos y cada uno de los seres que puebla la tierra sean de la cultura que sean religion o interes pues en mi exposicion tengo en cuenta a todos.
Saludos y aqui les espero con sumo respeto, Ignacio M. Pernil Marcos

Dear People, If you are fighting global warming, please google “The Global 50/50 Lottery” and “A New CO2 Elimination Tactic” and “Power Pipeline and Goff’s Hair”, and scan these ideas in the Techrex blog (me) on the 11thHourAction.com website. If you see any ideas you like, please forward them to the REAL experts in global warming solutions. Thank you.
