Earth Day/Week, Post Script

I don't know how I forgot to mention this, but NPR has been doing an amazing series about climate change in conjunction with National Geographic, called Climate Connections. Most recently, they were in Egypt and did a whole series of stories about Egypt, how it will be affected by climate change, and what the people of Egypt are doing about it.

One of the most amazing stories I've heard on the radio in ages was a part of this series, about how the poorest people in Cairo, the garbage collectors, are working together to recycle and cut their energy consumption. It's a marvelous piece of journalism, and I recommend everyone take ten minutes out of their day to listen to it. It will inspire. Listen here.
