The Things I've Learned...

Ultimately we have to work toward an energy source independant of oil. That certainly isn't going to happen overnight but we can start that journey now. One of things that really bothers me about President Bush and the current US Government is their super poor environmental policies. One of the big problems in the environmental sense right now is their determination to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Everything I've ever read of this suggests that we really wouldn't be getting much oil from this region and we wouldn't even be using this oil for another 10 to 20 years. Instead of working so hard to drill for more oil why can't we put some more money into finding new ways of powering our cars and homes?

Anyway, here are two video clips that I think you should watch and perhaps pass on to your friends. We, as humans, can't just keep on destroying everything we see just to make our lives a little more comfortable. We aren't the only species on the planet.
