Hi all!  

Do you find yourselves searching for a green holiday gift that's hip, relevant, and makes a difference in the fight against climate change?  Well, look no further than WE ADD UP.  WE ADD UP is a brand new global warming awareness project!  It's a global count of people committing to help fight global warming by taking simple steps in their everday lives that make a big difference.  WE ADD UP is an organic t-shirt campaign and every organic tee is custom hand-printed with a number - that number represents your unique position in the sequential global count!  So if you were the 500th person to get counted in, the number on your shirt would be 500.  The backs of the shirts feature different action messages - simple things that anyone can do to decrease their carbon footprint, like Bike, Unplug, Drink Tap, Organic, Mass Transit, Shower Together, Recycle, Buy Local - there are over 20 different messages to choose from for the back of your shirt.  The design of the WE ADD UP tees is simple, clean, and appealing for both men and women - and all the tees are made of certified organic cotton that's grown and sewn in the USA.  The WE ADD UP line makes it incredibly easy and fun to get counted in the fight against global warming - and it lets us know that simple changes do make a big difference because WE ADD UP!

How much this change is directly attributable to greenhouse gas emissions is an issue still being studied by climate researchers. Some snow disappears for reasons other than global warming.

Public discussion of global warming is often caught in a vortex of misinformation perpetuated by extreme forces who say it’s all just a big hoax. This often causes the most relevant scientific questions to get lost, suggests Washington State climatologist Philip Mote, PhD, who has been working for years to understand climate changes brought about by human activity.

I was lucky enough to get a peek at the new environmental film, 11th Hour. A powerful and thought-provoking film that examines the ingredients — from economic philosophy to scientific certitudes — of the environmental cocktail that has brought us to the precipice of disaster. All manner of scientists and philosophers speak to the impending climate crisis and potential solutions. The film documents interviews with over 50 scholars, theorists and experts — from Gorbachov to — curiously featured, former CIA chief, James Woolsey — who take us on a journey that hopefully ends in motivating more planet-friendly actions by anyone viewing the piece.

As a some-time filmaker and fulltime movie afficiando my only major criticism is, like many Hollywood films, this baby is 15 minutes too long. On a minor note, the celebrity hungry public will probably wish Leo had more screen time; and the producers’ names are splashed all over the website and film like the credits in a first-time feature, but these are all minor quibbles. The film hits hard and will have a big impact. And it’s a worthy companion piece to that gentleman, Mr. Gore’s film.
