Read this book. Reduce your impact on the environment: Try to consume 25% less electrical energy this year. Ask for FSC certified wood products. Use your bike (with or without a trailer) for distances less than 3 km/2 miles. When driving a car, drive less fast.
Why? Read this book. Or maybe because you need a new challenge. Or just because it's fun to impress your neighbors (who are used to see you in a car) by coming home from shopping or from work on a bike.

Friday Feb 02, 2007
... has today been published by the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It's about the world's climate and our influence on it.
Read it and keep it in mind when making decisions about your new house, car, desktop system, or server.
Some pictures from the report:
This is a graph of the atmospheric concentration of CO2 over the last 10.000 years.
And this is a graphic showing the temperature change in certain regions, where the blue shaded bands in the small graphs show results of simulations of climate models with only non-human influence, and the red shaded bands show results of models with human influence (e.g. burning of fossil fuels). The black lines are real measurements.
