Climate Change Making Us Mentally Unstable?
According to the EPA, climate change can affect our mental health. The EPA report just released says that man-made global warming is making us sicker, both mentally and physically. The Surgeon General agrees, saying that doctors are seeing more and more climate-related cases. Asthma is worsening because of it. Extraordinary heat is killing tens of thousands of people.
This is no flimsy White-House-conspiracy report; it’s based on 1800 scientific studies. And our governmental health agencies aren’t doing enough about the situation.

Truth or Lie–Doesn’t Matter
On this Earth Day, the debate continues: Is global warming a lie? Common sense says that the ever-increasing numbers of humans sharing our planet means quicker depletion of its resources, especially if we waste them.
Even if I assume that earth’s ruin still lies years ahead, it makes sense to try to prevent it, or at least put it off even farther. I can start with small steps. I can’t afford a hybrid car, but I can avoid Styrofoam, disposable diapers, incandescent bulbs, and toxic garden chemicals. I can adjust my thermostat to more efficient levels and do a better job at recycling, especially flashlight batteries and engine oil. I can air-dry at least some of my laundry. Why, I could go vegetarian once a week! I could even go to www.Smashwords.com and download a free copy of Jackie’s Green Riches: Help the Earth and Your Budget so I can get ideas on easy steps I can take. None of this is hard. But it IS a start.
