As the strands of silver weave their way into the black hair of my youth
and the webs entangling my mind are cleared away from that time of my life,
I am free...
Free to mount the summit of that great hill and look out upon the expanse of the rest of my life with the awe and wonderment of a child.
I truly am free.

- City of Seattle Won't Buy Bottled Water : Environmental News Blog |...

From the page: In what is a great initiative from many points of view, the mayor of Seattle (Greg Nickels) has announced that the city will no longer be buying bottled water for events or water-cooler jugs for its workers.
While it will save only $58,000 a year, the beneficial impact on the environment will be much greater.
There are still a lot of arguments over whether tap water is as good as it's supposed to be or not. It's estimated that about a half of the people in the U.S. drink bottled water and the number is increasing. While tests have pointed out that most bottles are pure and quite good to drink, there were some which had chemicals and several unwanted substances in their composition.

- Massive ice shelf on verge of breakup - CNN.com
Mar 26, 2008 12:42pm (4 reviews) environment http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/03/...- While the governments & peoples of the Earth are still arguing about global warming, our Mother Earth is suffering & we are seeing the effects right here, right now. Is anyone paying attention?
Today... Wednesday 3/26/08 from the page: Some 220 square miles of ice has collapsed in Antarctica and an ice shelf about seven times the size of Manhattan is "hanging by a thread," the British Antarctic Survey said Tuesday, blaming global warming. Scientists say the size of the threatened shelf is about 5,282 square miles.
"We are in for a lot more events like this," said professor Ted Scambos, a glaciologist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Scambos alerted the British Antarctic Survey after he noticed part of the Wilkins ice shelf disintegrating on February 28, when he was looking at NASA satellite images.
Late February marks the end of summer at the South Pole and is the time when such events are most likely, he said. "The amazing thing was, we saw it within hours of it beginning, in between the morning and the afternoon pictures of that day," Scambos said of the large chunk that broke away on February 28.
The Wilkins ice shelf lost about 6 percent of its surface a decade ago, the British Antarctic Survey said in a statement on its Web site. Another 220 square miles -- including the chunk that Scambos spotted -- had splintered from the ice shelf as of March 8, the group said.
