“I’m going to give my cash to the High School Bike Crews. Can’t think of anything that better takes on the carbon challenge than cycling, and for good measure also addresses fitness, local air quality, traffic congestion, livable cities, peak oil and social responsibility. What a package!”

“I’m giving my $100 to the Green Party. It’s a signal to government that I want effective action on global warming at the top of the political agenda. A side benefit is that a $100 political donation generates a $75 tax rebate. So a person can donate, get a tax rebate, donate again, get another tax rebate and in 10 years could give $377.48 to the Green Party! Let’s hope by then we’re well on our way to an ultra-low-carbon future. ”

“I'm giving my share to the Adopt-A-Fry Campaign. Salmon are not just a potent symbol of our coast, they are the canaries in our collective coal mine. Our health and well being are intimately connected to theirs, and they are in deep trouble.”
