More profit with LESS carbon!


* Focusing on energy efficiency will do more than protect Earth's climate: it will make businesses and consumers richer!

That's the reason I'm totally supporting the Climate Change Bill !

This bill is imperfect, AND AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY! Please write and call your congress people! Without this bill in hand, the chances that the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP15) will fail go up dramatically with drastic consequences. The 2009 International Scientific Congress concluded that climate change is happening faster than the worst-case scenarios. But we can make a huge difference with current technology, political will and personal choice. If we fail, the consequences will make our current recession seem paltry, dwarfing the cost of WWII. This is our Pearl Harbor!
Will you join me in committing to making a change for a low-carbon future?

Gestalt Prayer

"I am I.
You are you.
I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
And if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped."

*

私 は 私。
あなた は あなた。
私 は 私 の ために 生き
あなた は あなた の ために 生きる。
私 は あなた の 期待に 応える ために この世に 生きてる わけじゃない。
そして、あなた も 私 の 期待に 応える ために この世に 生きてる わけじゃない。
あなた は あなた、私 は 私。
もしふたり が 出会えれば それは 素晴らしい こと
出会えないくても それは やむをえない ことだ。
