tabber.gifContest EPIC Entry: The Right Balance

EPIC International Prize Entry "The Right Balance": The climate crisis is all about balance � the balance between human activities and the planet � and the balance we must each find in taking real-world steps to reduce our carbon footprint. Here we highlight several that work for our average (developed-country) family. We also reveal, for the first time, the sex of our future second child (who will add, we admit, another set of footprints � but hopefully become another recycling, responsibly-voting, organic-hemp-sweater-wearer). Cameos (in order of first appearance): compact fluorescent light bulb, recycled paper toilet tissue, cloth shopping bag, indoor/outdoor potted Christmas tree, laundry drying rack, phone served by a �green� telecommunications company, high-efficiency washing machine, electric mulching lawn mower, low VOC paint, soaker hose, and bamboo cutting board. Produced with electricity largely generated by renewable means.
