Hello again everyone!

This is Real Talk With De’Anthony Jones. This week, I will remind everyone of Obama’s environmental policy outline. Below is he President’s outline to combat global warming. Read and enjoy!

FROM THE PRESIDENT OBAMA’S WEBSITE, BARACKOBAMA.COM:

The Current Situation

The country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the 21st century. For too long, politicians in Washington have been beholden to special interests, but no longer. Our new, responsible energy policy recognizes the relationship between energy, the environment, and our economy and leverages American ingenuity to put people back to work, fight global warming, increase our energy independence and keep us safe.

The Solution

Chart a new energy future:

President Obama has a comprehensive plan to chart a new energy future by embracing alternative and renewable energy, ending our addiction to foreign oil, addressing the global climate crisis and creating millions of new jobs that can’t be shipped overseas.

Invest in clean, renewable energy:

To achieve our goal of generating 25 percent of our energy from renewable sources by 2025, we will make unprecedented investments in clean, renewable energy – solar, wind, biofuels, and geothermal power.

Fight climate change:

We will invest in energy efficiency and conservation, two sure-fire ways to decrease deadly pollution and drive down demand. And we will hold special interests accountable as we finally work to address climate change and its potentially catastrophic effects.

Hope you guys liked that… It sounds pretty good..

Here is a link to his outline in full (note: you will have to copy and paste this into your address bar):

BTTRventures es una empresa 100% basada en el concepto de sostenibilidad que produce champignones
en la modalidad de agricultura urbana y esta ubicada en Berkeley, CA. Aqui en BTTRventures
(pronunciado en ingles como “bttr”) reciclar las basura no es solamente lo correcto que debemos hacer –
es la unica cosa que podemos hacer. Nosotros creemos que hemos dominado el arte de manejar los
residuos transformando la borra del café (residuo despues de preparar el café) en el sustrato en el cual
sembramos nuestro producto. Despues de la cosecha de los champignones, el sustrato se convierte en un
fertile compost el cual donamos posteriormente a los jardines de las comunidades locales, cerrando de
esta forma el ciclo completo de nuestro proceso.

The New Quiet Storm 

Alright brothers and sisters from other misters it’s time to make our voices heard loud and clear regarding climate change and how it would affect us in the future. Let’s face it, it is not our fault that the climate is the way it is. The climate change we see now is in result of an accumulation of pollution cause the adults of the past. As Kevin Danaher, Co-Founder of Global Exchange told me “We (adults) caused this problem, it’s your (the youth’s) job to clean it up.” Some of you may be thinking, “how rude” but that’s not the mindset to use because we as youth ourselves pollute the environment. We by the shoes and clothes from the factories that are unregulated and can pollute the environment at will. We buy the video game systems and computers that we keep on standby all day, wasting energy yet giving the government more excuses to promote more “clean coal technology” (hmmm…didn’t know coal can be “clean”). Hey, this is our environment too and we should take charge to make sure its clean!

Talk to you next week!

This week’s quote:

“In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share.” – SEVERN SUZUKI
