greeengreen.

thegreenguide.com is a great site it gives details on how to shop in order to be green. one thing that came to mind is that if you dont want to wear hemp or linen, lets say your into high fashion the least you can do is look at which houses are doing what and what they support. or you can always look for free-trade items or union made garments.

GREEEEN.

between today and tommorrow i have decided to change all of the lightbulbs in the house. its just going to kinda suck at night with the dim lighting. but all inconviniences aside you must go green, the greates inconvinience wiil come out of not trying.

when entering Goetsman hall of planet earth it was evident that they really did know how to display their stuff. there were a number of specimens of minerals and rocks, all varying in physical appearance. They kept the talking screens to a minimum.The screens that were on were the ones who had information about the negative effects of global warming and how we are causing them and we could possibly stop them.
the exibit, An Inconvinient Truth, the theme of the cluster all go hand in hand. all of the information we saw at the museum was in the film and the means by which they choose to channel their message is a large area of research in this class. i could see why the museum would be more believable than the film. its a standing structure that you go to and touch and see with your very eyes. it is an institution whhere people work in everyday , i get why people could believe it over a film. personally i believed them both completly i am a big supporter of any action taken towards the reduction of CO2 emmisons and minimalization of global warming. the museum definatly is a media though, any museum is. the trick is, like i was saying before, since its a building with what everyone considers to be factual science (and 90% is), people forget that all they are doing is showing you information and messages just like any t.v. or radio would. although the museum's message is probably a lot better.
