An important part of “Change Yourself First” is get-as-educated-as-possible… here’s a solid source I like:

I find Germany’s broadcast outfit Deutsche Welle a refreshing alternative to America’s mainstream media.  It feels good to hear investigative journalism from other countries, produced with a solid level of integrity.

Here are DW’s “Environment – Doing Your Bit” climate solutions pages, which builds on their basic investigative journalism.

(Used to be news was defined as merely “Who, What, Where, When, Why and How.”  But nowadays, there is a new additional question:  “So What? ” In the case of news of global warming news, there is often an inferred moral imperative – the climate version of So What.  “If you don’t like the news, make some of your own,” as Scoop Nisker used to say.)

Thanks go out to Monique Murphy for the story-idea.

Not sure where to start saving the planet (civilization, really)?  Start by deeply knowing your own personal Superpowers:  

1) To save the planet, Change Yourself First;

2) Invest Your Working Life;

3) Use Your Voice and take advocacy seriously!  Never miss a chance to vote, and never stop influencing your government and businesses locally, at the state level, and at the national level.  Lead the way with global warming solutions.

And in all cases and at all times, cast aside the learned-helplessness that infects so much of modern life… the time is now for climate change solutions.
