Continuing As the World Burns (:

Dr. Bozanic told me it was okay to finish As the World Burns: 50 Simple Things You Can Do To Stay In Denial as my Christmas Break reading, which I'm excited about! (: What has happened recently in this book is the aliens have begun to invade earth and have asked to see the President of the US. Then a hippie taught a fox about the laws of energy and thermodynamics (which the fox wasn't very happy about, but it was a nice refresher for me and very funny). There were also some fun facts that I learned from the arguing little girls, including: 5% of all carbon emissions that have been put out by humans have been put out by ExxonMobil! (I thought that was kind of repulsive). Happy Holidays (:

Update

I finished Hot, Flat, and Crowded 2.0.  I really liked it! I also received a link to a video by Ms. Ward that she thinks I might like, so I'm going to watch that over break, as well as read some more from my books from Addlestone and a few of the more fun books I've bought, but haven't read for my "required reading." I'll keep you posted with how those go! Happy Holidays!

Book Update and Rick Bass

I've been reading Hot, Flat, and Crowded 2.0. I thought that it was really interesting that the author suggested that the massive expansion of the middle class has caused many of our environmental problems and caused our planet to rapidly destabilize. I thought that was a really interesting cause of some of our current environmental problems, because none of my other books have suggested that! I'll keep you posted though!

I also met Rick Bass last week! He was so nice and a really great writer. I went to a book reading he did at the Recital Hall at Ashley Hall and if you didn't go, you definitely missed out! I'm emailing him to ask him if he thinks any of his books might be useful to me!
