Progress!

President Obama is going to Copenhagen! It was somewhat up in the air if he was actually going to go, but now it is official! Here is an article with more about the increasing commitment of the US to get things done in Copenhagen. There are lots of exciting things coming together all at once:

"“For the first time, an American administration has proposed an emissions reduction target. When President Obama lands in Copenhagen, it will emphasize that the United States is in it to win it,” said Senator John Kerry, a Democrat of Massachusetts and one of the leading advocates of climate action on Capitol Hill. “This announcement matches words with action.”"

All pretty exciting stuff.

I will be sure to keep updated on everything I possibly can.

On the book front, I finally finished William Kamkwama's book The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. The first half was a little slow, but you come to appreciate it by the end. Overall, a great, inspiring read, and I heartily recommend it. If you have a chance, Google him and take a look at the windmill he built. It is so amazing the things we can make if we put our minds to it and get creative about materials.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Also I'd like to put in a plug for Fantastic Mr. Fox: check out my mom's blog here.
