North Carolina's Henderson County prepares to save the world!

From this page:

The Henderson County Global Warming Task Force asked the School Board to form a climate change task force. It would come up with suggestions for classroom instruction on climate change. It also would explore ways to reduce the school system's carbon emissions.

"It is education that will inform, teach and nurture creative solutions to this critical issue facing our world," said Carole Repici, a member of the Global Warming Task Force. "The next generation must be equipped with all the information and strategies needed to turn this crisis around."

Among the ideas:

• The driver education program could teach students the harm of leaving cars idling and pumping out carbon dioxide,

• Schools could start composting projects,

• Schools may be able to use less electricity at night without compromising security,

• And schools could encourage more use of buses, avoiding the long lines of idling cars waiting for student pick-up and drop-off.

I think I speak for us all when I say "Gee, thanks guys".
