I'm going to head over later and hook up my granddaughter with this book. She's 3-1/2 and loves Dora The Explorer, and who better then to push being 'green.'

“Green Jobs” is another con job. Before Obama is done screwing things up, every American family will owe more to the Gov’t than combined family members make, e.g. Obama’s cap and trade plan – Fuzzy Math. That’s going to end up costing each household $3900 per year. Add in the costs of just the February stimulus package – a cost of $100,000,000 per day – and many Americans will soon look like they are from Somalia instead of America. Once Americans go broke, the Gov’t soon follows – since the Gov’t can’t make money…only take it. Basic math…so to speak.
I close on my property on May 1, 2009, and then moving to (or near) Clinch County Georgia, near or in the Okefenokee Swamp. Taxes are low, and they don’t have an actual Building Department. Have also recently gone on Social Security – whilst it’s still available – so my taxes are going to get even lower, fact is, the Gov’t just gave me $300 more than I paid in taxes last year (got that back also).
Good luck folks…it's going to be a rough ride!

Isn't Social Security part of that socialistic plot? You bitch about paying taxes and then take money from the guvment.

an idea conjectured in her mind resulted into true vision. WHY do we continue to see the same crap on tv? a 30 minute segment from one of “our” so called tv networks could advocate this, if anything they could do this for earth day. hmmm…i guess majora was right. we have to make it sexy. so if someone finds a way to wrap this in a two piece bikini let me know. :(

I saw this on ted last year and I'm pretty sure she's married by now.
I would love to see Van Jones on Ted.
