MQN I've looked at this thread and it's going to take a whole world (or the bird flu) to change to save this planet for future generations . I've seen studies that predict those that are born after the year 2000 will have a much shorter lifespan than the generation proceeding them (and our population is predicted to double soon).

Personally I don't drive, my DH drives a car with good gas mileage, we heat our house with steam heat (very cheap but an energy efficient boiler would be even better, all our light bulbs are energy efficient except a couple of reading ones, neither of my adult children have a car (yet), we wash our clothes with cold water, our thermostat is set to a lower than comfortable setting, and we hang about a 1/4 of what we wash (we can improve on that), and we don't have A/C but I don't know how much longer we can go without it. :(

Years ago my Aunt pushed the SK Government to plant trees in the ditches between Moose Jaw and Regina (mainly to stop the drifting across the #1). Now I think they should be planted along all our highways.
