YOU KNOW THE FACTS..
"The United States represents 4% of world population but consumes 25% of world energy."

"...Human society is affecting the environment in ways that contribute to hurricanes like Katrina."
- National Science Academy

YOU'VE HEARD THE LEADERS...
In his January 2006 State of the Union address, President Bush announced, "America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world."

Prime Minister Tony Blair has said, "It is now plain that the emission of greenhouse gases...is causing global warming at a rate that is unsustainable."

YOU'VE STARTED NOTICING THINGS...
You leave your cell phone charger plugged in when you're not using it, and you toss bottles and cans into the trash instead of the recycling bin. You notice everyone driving to school in their own cars instead of carpooling with friends.

IT'S TIME TO FACE THE FACTS...YOU'RE ADDICTED.
We all are. Every day we make decisions that impact the earth and contribute to global warming.From letting the water run while we brush our teeth to coveting the latest model SUV, our modern lives revolve around a culture of consumption and a dependence on traditional, non-renewable energy sources that are destroying the environment at an alarming rate.

So why are we doing this to ourselves? A lot of us are in denial and slow to recognize that global warming is one of the greatest threats we face today. But in order to break the addiction, you have to face the addiction.

BUT THERE IS HOPE.
Before letting yourself go from denial to despair, consider this: the damage is not irreversible. You can help reverse global warming by getting involved. Decreasing our daily impact will start us down the road to recovery.
