In today's (April 15, 2007) Seattle Times, a journalist explores the various opportunities that a single family has to change their carbon footprint and do their share in the struggle against unwanted and perhaps dangerous climate change.

"...personal choices matter, said Dina Kruger, director of EPA's Climate Change Division in Washington, D.C.

'There are enormous opportunities for individuals to make a difference,' she said.

CNN (March 31, 2007) reports that the City of Sydney, Australia, blacked out its skyline to mark the need for energy conservation in response to human induced climate change.

"Throughout the city of about 4 million people, residents turned off the lights for one hour in an event organized by environmentalists and supported by Sydney city officials, the New South Wales state government and thousands of businesses.

On both coasts, communities facing the uncertainty of future sea level rise, no matter how great this might be in the next few decades, are promoting changes in energy use.

On Martha's Vineyard, as in other towns, planners also face a public that may not see how the effects of global climate change would impact their locales.

The local newspaper reports that efforts to enact energy requirements are still problematic, even though people are aware of global warming:

"West Tisbury architect Kate Warner - who founded the nonprofit Vineyard Energy Project and owned the first hybrid car on the Island - said the Vineyard as a whole is still addressing the energy challenge better than the average community in the country. But given its liberal leanings, the beauty of the Island and the depth of passion for causes, she thought the Vineyard would have been a leader in the renewable energy movement.
