As I have mentioned before, one plausible way to help make climate warming a more prime issue is to use celebrity power to push it through. One major celebrity, and arguably the greatest actor of our generation, Leonardo Dicaprio, has followed in the footsteps of Al Gore and filmed documentaries as well as set up a website to help the cause.
The website itself offers interesting facts, one is that junk mail is actually contributing to the problem of climate change. On the website a link is offered to help get a bill passed in opposition of junkmail. He also points out some more obvious factors such as the 1 trillion plastic bags produced each year which can take nearly 1000 years to decompose.
The movie is insightful as well, including input from several scientists such as Stephen Hawking and even Soviet leader Gorbechav. The movie is pretty straightforward, everyone interviewed believes global warming is problem which needs immediate tending too. Overall it's these small steps that can really bring climate change into the spotlight which it deserves.

The fact about plastic bags is very baffling. I once heard that styrofoam decomposes at a similar rate. It appears that oil is not our only polutant, that house hold items like styrofoam and plastic bags can also do great harm. Great post.
I've never noticed junk mail can contribute to the problem of climate change before, interesting. The fact about plastic bags is very astonishing. China has banned free plastic bags since June 1st, 2008. I heard that Germany is the pioneer on this project. Maybe America can carry out similar or more effective methods to deal with the problem.
