The calendar says it’s Spring , but Winter is still hanging on here in Washington State. On April 11th, we had one day of eighty degrees. The next day, it was barely above fifty and more rain. We’ve even had Spring snow, twice this month. No, not just a dusting, but inches. Most nights still drop down into the 30’s, and most days have been lucky to see 50 degrees.
Cutting greenhouse gas emissions in order to ward off a dangerous rise in global temperatures may be more of a challenge than previously thought. Scientists have published studies in the last month, suggesting that it would require the world to cease carbon emissions altogether by mid century. This means that both industrial and developing nations, must use other fuel sources, instead of fossil fuels during this same suggested time frame. We must do this in order to prevent warming that could change weather precipitation patterns and greatly alter or dry up water sources globally.
The older I get, the more my health becomes a priority. Since the year 2000, five members of my family have passed away. Four of them were diabetic. We all know that diet and exercise go together. It seems as though you can’t just do one or the other. It takes the combined effort to accomplish the goal to lose weight and avoid this disease. The battle can be won, even though statistics keep growing every day.

Here are a few tips you can put into practice right away that take little effort and your wallet will thank-you.
Did you know that Americans idle away approximately 2.9 billion gallons of gas a year? With the prices going up almost daily, that is almost $80 billion a year in wasted gas. Obviously, the less you have to stop and go the better. It also helps to maintain a steady, rather than fluctuating speed. Also, be sure your tires have the correct amount of air in them. Just little things, but they make a difference in the air we breathe and in your wallet.
