Global Warming - The Reason for All the Worry

While there are political and aesthetic arguments for Carbon Offsets and the drive to Erase Your Footprint, Global Warming is far and away the primary motivation for the push towards a 'Greener' world.

The most basic definition identifies Global Warming as the theory that the average worldwide temperature is trending higher. While that part is simple, understanding just what that means - and what we should do about it - is more difficult. Some argue that the slow rise in temperature has already altered weather patterns throughout the world, while others insist it may just be a cycle, soon to reverse course.

Despite the varying opinions, we believe that a thorough understanding of the issues and implications of this complicated subject, along with a willingness to accept personal responsibility for your own impact on the environment is the best way to tackle this problem.
