But I am disappointed in Bill McKibben's comments. Yes, political activism is essential, but so too is individual action. Households produce roughly half of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions; we simply cannot stabilize our climate without engaging the residential sector. Organize politically and then take action to reduce your carbon footprint? No. Change your government AND change your light bulbs (and a whole lot of other simple steps that will save you money). We are doing both in New Hampshire. --Denise http://nhcarbonchallenge.org Another terrific video by the amazing YERT team! But I am disappointed in Bill McKibben’s comments.

Bill was the one voice in the wilderness for so long on global warming and now folks are starting to get it--as well they should.
