Wow! It was great to see so many people show up to Wednesday night's movie, An Inconvenient Truth. We had 16 students show up and over 30 total including parents and Mr. Filzen...probably breaking all sorts of fire codes. ROBERT, ALEN, MACK, QUIN, MIKE G., NICOLE W., MIKAELA, MARTIN, ASHLYN, SHYANNE, JAI, MARISSA, FELICIA, STEVEN, KAITLYNN H., and EMILY all showed up and received 7 extra credit points. Interested in helping to reduce carbon dioxide emission? First, calculate your impact. Then check out this, this, and this.

This was sent to me from Mrs. Riese:

We have seen some of the affects of global warming/causes of nature when we visit Alaska. There is a glacier between Anchorage and Seward (Portgage Glacier) that I used to visit when I was a kid and you could touch the glacier from the parking area. Now the glacier is roughly seven miles into the mountains and they have made it more of a tourist attraction by offering mini cruises in the glacier waters. They have set up a neat display and "touch and feel" exhibit in the tourist center.

On Gore:

[Gore] said he was "carbon neutral" himself and he tried to offset any plane flight or car journey by "purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere".

Also, thank you to Mrs. Burkgren and others as well that have responded positively to the issue.
