Okay.

Uhm, I get my power from www.bullfrogpower.com . It's 80% hydro-electric and 20% wind. Yes, it is expensive. It's easily 25% more than Ottawa Hydro which predominantly uses nuclear and fossil fuels. I also do not drive a car. It's public transportation everywhere. And despite living in an apartment where the heat is included in the rent, I rarely turn it on and prefer to bundle up.

But I have no illusions that we will stop global warming. When people are so damn adverse to believing what the scientists have to say that they will believe instead that we can send a giant disc into space to stop it, there really is no hope. I only make my "sacrifices" so that I know that I am doing my own part.
