Stumbled upon this very well done video on Energy Efficiency this evening and it's worth a look. We need more of these videos and messages about conversation and efficiency to be spread.
This inspiring story by one very contagious woman made me cry. It's well worth spending 10 minutes to watch, so make the time NOW. If you are a teacher and believe in your students this is proof that they exceed your expectations. If you are a parent, teach your children that they can take charge and make a difference. They can, I can, you can and we can be the change we wish to see in the world. Now go and make it happen. I know you can.
My heart goes out to the people of Haiti where a series of earthquakes measuring around 7.0 on the Richter scale killed more than 50,000 people and has affected more than three million. Since Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, the need for help from other countries is crucial.
