Amen

More photos on the way, but I just started out my morning reading this refreshing article on the solution to global warming.

I'm a fundraiser -- a preacher, if you will, of the phrase "every little bit counts" -- but our efforts at Whitworth are only as good as the alumni who voluntarily choose to support their alma mater (and frankly, alumni participation is not really a hot ticket to sell).

It's so hip to be green right now, and we feel good when we change out our light bulbs, buy local, print on recycled paper, but for every good deed I do, there are still thousands of cows passing gas, people driving Hummers, and overheated people who need to run their air conditioner full-blast.

Having interned at a clean-air agency, I know that air-quality laws can be extremely effective. It seems like that could translate to a much larger scale somehow.

Although if we required every alum to give $25 every year, I'd totally be out of a job. But that's beside the point. Just read the article.
