No my fingers are not stuck nor are the keys on the computer stuck, 777 is the date for today and is supposed to be lucky.

My friend Pam is hoping her first grandchild will be born today (I will let you know)

7 things to do or not to do on 070707.

and in celebration of the auspicious date, Live earth concerts are playing for 24 hours. Here is the Live earth pledge.


I PLEDGE:

-To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;

-To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become “carbon neutral;”

-To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;

-To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;

-To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;

-To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and,

-To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century.

I will check back later in the year and we will see how "carbon neutral" I can become!!!
