Green Day

This morning we stopped by the green market at Grand Army Plaza. Besides picking up some fresh fruit and other treats, we got a couple free reusable grocery bags courtesy of One Bag At A Time and sponsorship by Sundance Channel's The Green.

Afterwards we spent some time at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

When we returned home I finally got around to watching my copy of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Once again, he lucidly laid out his argument with a mix of charts, graphs and photos. One really gets to see the staggering damage global warming has done: melting glaciers, rising temperatures to unhealthy consequences, causing flooding in some areas and droughts in others, and in general, simply disrupting our fragile ecosystem.
