We’re at the tipping point with global warming and we desperately need better environmental policies. Let’s make sure we get out there and tip things in a positive direction.
P.S. I haven’t forgotten to put up a new tip. I’ve decided to keep this up until Election Day. On November 5th, you’ll get a new tip, I promise!

Did you have a family member who sat in the corner at a party or holiday event, carefully folding up wrapping paper for future use?
