350.org / TAKE ACTION!

The Copenhagen convention approaches and we are trying to make more and more noise about the importance of the UN Climate Change discussions that will take place over there; this coming December!

Today, OCT 24th has been schedulle as the international day for ACTION regarding our concerns on global warming! I soooo wish I was not working today but that does not mean I can not help! Just talking to you about it, is already some help! Here are some of the little things that I do and that are easy to do and that anybody can do: I recycle, I "tweet" and blog about it, I talk to my family and friends and even total strangers about the importance of participating, I have changed all my house lamps for energy efficient ones, I support natural products and natural labels and etc.... but rememeber... its ALL about the little things that when placed togheter always have a HUGE impact!

I've seem news today from all different media sources and it is tear breaking to see so many of us fighting for such a noble cause! It still amazes me on how much good we can do when we put our hearts and minds to it!!! I strongly believe that WE ARE THE SOLUTION for the climate crisis and Im optimistic that the governments of the world will come to a concensus this coming December! As long we all keep on remembering them that we care and that we are watching!

If you are looking for actions around your area... (you can still help) just google 350ppm or try logging into their website at http://www.350.org/! There are many events still happening and remember... climate change is not an "One Day" thing BUT an everyday obligation to ensure our own survival!!! So.... do the right thing and be sure that Mother Earth thanks you and so do all of us "world citizens" out there that are now, just like YOU who is reading this entry ..... TAKING ACTION! :)

OUR HOUR! OUR CAUSE! EARTH HOUR!

Today is Blog Action Day 2009 (BAD09) and the cause we all are tackling this year is the climate change! For too long, we humans, have explored the many resources from our planet in the name of prosperity and progress; without giving too much of a thought about its consequences to all living creatures (including ourselves) and the enviroment. The idea was that the resources were abundant and endless and that it was our "right" to explore it as the most developed species.

Well.... we were wrong! The lack of control and disrespect towards the Planet has created many many problems that are now becoming more and more clear to us all and that are also turning to be a threat to our own survival and to all other living species. The polar caps are melting, the ocean water temperatures are rising ("EL NINO" is becoming stronger every year), our forests are giving up space to farm lands and the farm lands are being affected by changes in the monsu cycles and becoming deserts (The Sahara desert is actually expanding at an alarming rate). It is the so called "spiral of death" and if we keep up at this rate it will eventually impact us all, rich and poor nations alike, generating even more problems such as disease, famine, caos and even war!

These are just a few of the problems that together form the so called CLIMATE CHANGE issue! For way too long, science have been discredited and it was also believed that all these phenomenoms were just another natural "cycle" in our planets history, just like an ice age for example! Once again, that became another "broken dogma" and today we know that OUR ACTIONS DO IMPACT EARTH! And impact a lot!

The good news is that we still can change, we are still not at the point of no return... there is HOPE! Many other people around the world, just like this humble blog entry, are speaking out and making sure that our powerfull message is heard! WE ARE THE SOLUTION for the Climate problem! WE can retrace our steps and rewrite our destiny! WE can make a positive impact in our planet and place our race once again in the right path and in harmony with the enviroment! It all starts with simple actions that when added with many other small actions.... it suddenlly become HUGE and it can MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

In the coming month of December, all nations of the world will get together to attack the climate change issue! Our mission is to ensure that the final decision is to vote for LIFE! "BAD09" is our weapon to show to the governements of the world that we want to choose our PLANET! That we pick EARTH and that by doing such we are not only protecting the environment but we are also ensuring our own survival!

Please spread the word! Do your part! If you haven't cast your vote yet... you can still do so at http://www.earthhour.org/! Talk to your friends and family... if you have a blog... write about it! Remember... the little actions united with a bunch of other "little" actions CAN and WILL make the difference! Do it for our planet! Do it for you! DO IT FOR US!

The 60 Minute!

This is such an important moment for our planet! This is the earth hour... The 60 minute! On the last March 28th, this year, many of us once again "voted" for legislation to be approved across the world to help with the climate and environmental issue. Once again, "our light switch was our vote" and our participation is being used to help on approving new laws to SAVE our world!

In December this year, world leaders will gather in Copenhagen to determine how the world deals with climate change. Their choice is simple – Earth or global warming. The fight is still on! We have to keep on pressuring and show support as "citizens of the world" in order to make it clear that we demand action on climate change!

There are many ways we can help! At http://www.earthhour.org/ you can follow actions and see how you can still "cast" your vote! This is a global issue and WE have to tackle it now! This is the 60 minute! It's Our Time! THE EARTH HOUR!

Please take some time to see the official video of the earth hour campaign at the bellow link:

VOTE EARTH! :D

Sleepless Week!

So..... Im not sure if Im just impressed with these earhquake news and my subconcience is reacting to it or if I am watching too much Discovery Channel or if something is trying to alert me! This past week for 2 times I had the same dream and I woke up in the night and could not sleep for a while!

I've been dreaming that an earthquake will hit us and my truck will get smash in the garage and my house will collapse! A total caos situation! Im able to survive it all but in the dream Im standing on a moutain of debri and without anything else other than the clothes Im wearing! Is this freaky stuff or what?

I had the same dream again last night and its just freaking me out! In my work we have a division that works with American Samoa and as a lot of you may know, a major earthquake stroke those islands and many people died! We followed the drama first hand and we are still sending help (supplyes, machinery, water, food) to the poor people of those islands!

I think those stories really got to me! The pictures I saw, the despair in the face of the people, all the destruction! It was really sad!

Everything is normal here in LA and other than the problems with these dreams Im doing just fine! I hope I don't have anymore of these sleepless nights ahead of me! One thing Im doing, at least for the next week! I've decided to park my car at the street! Better safe than sorry! All Im saying....
