LiveEarth’s Twitter feed gives real tips for positive change

This tip is especially good right now as the hottest part of the summer is coming our way in the Northern Hemisphere (the Dog Day … which are named such because Sirius the Dog Star become visible this time of year). Another great one is to put a fan at the top of the stairs to your cellar (if you have one) to bring cold air up from there.
The LiveEarth concert is this weekend. I’m going to try to listen to it as much as possible, but since it should be a nice weekend I think I’m going to get everyone out of the house for some fun.
