Leonardo DiCaprio's "The 11th Hour" is a documentary concerning the environmental crises caused by human actions and calls for restorative action through a reshaping of human activity.
The mission of our community is to inspire action at every level: from
individual action, up through our communities, to the state, national
and international level. The actions are all shifting our civilization
to a sustainable future. Let's work and take action together. The time is now. The hope is you. Let's begin.
You might have listed this as another "green" option... but here it is just incase.
YIKES!
Hydrocarbons (DF-2000 made by none other than Exxon, EcoSolv from Chevron, modified blends such as PureDry) - slightly less flammable and explosive than Stoddard solvent; not as effective as perchloroethylene. According to the local dry cleaner, this is a "completely non-toxic" alternative. However, a review of EPA data would suggest otherwise. It's probably not as bad as perc, but it's not environmentally friendly, and it DEFINITELY doesn't fit my definition of non-toxic. If that isn't enough, would you like to find yet other ways to contribute to big oil's pockets? http://wanderingvisitor.blogspot.com/2007/07/organic-dry-cleaning.html
To those I would like to add:
The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight--None other than Thom Hartmann
Ishmael & My Ishmael---Daniel Quinn--on how things got this way
The Future of Life---Edward O. Wilson
The Sixth Extinction---Richard Leakey and Roger Lewin
