I'm not the only one concerned!!!
Okay, you all know that my secret desire is to some day marry Ewan McGregor, but as far as liking actors for their talent, their personalities, and what they stand for, one of my favorites has always been Leonardo Dicaprio.
I have always thought that Leo was an amazing actor, and even own What's Eating Gilbert Grape to prove it. For many years now, Leo has been a big advocate of the environment and has done a number of projects recently that focus on this passion.
A couple of years ago, I stumbled across Leo's website and began to watch it closely for the changes. Along with constant updates on his work as an actor, the website evolved more and more and Leo's passion for our home became even more evident and I started to follow his life more closely. It does help too that he's talented, rich, a genuinely nice guy, gorgeous, single and my age....hmmm.
For some exclusive previews on his upcoming "11th Hour" and some links to great ideas on helping ourselves, check out Leo's myspace website at http://www.myspace.com/leonardodicaprio or go to http://www.leonardodicaprio.com/ to see his previous documentaries on the environment.
I do want to explain one thing. I know I'm not perfect when it comes to being energy concious, but I try. I'm not trying to be in anyone's face about environmental issues, it's just my opinion. I'd love hear other's opinions, and I want to make sure that those with similar feelings get a chance to see some of the websites that Jingle and I have found. This also isn't anything new to me. I've been concerned about the environment for years. Like I said, I'm not perfect, but I do consider it and try, naturally, to do things that are better for us. I don't believe we are as dire as "others" say, but I do believe that if we don't start making changes, we will eventually be in trouble and I personally want to try to allow my future family to live indefinately. So please don't think I'm doing the last few blogs just because of the sudden flux of "green is good". It just happens that now, I have a means to express.
And Dad, I especially want to see comments from you. I know our opinions are a little different on these issues and I love our debates. Bring it on.
Enjoy you all! There are many more interesting sites out there and I'll slowly bring you what I've found.

Okay, I'm one of those sad people that occasionally go back and read my own posts. Mostly because I think of something to add, but I noticed on this one that the shout out to my Dad may be misconstrued by some people and figured I better put in a disclaimer.
Growing up, Chantelle and I always had debates with our parents. I won't say we never argued, everyone argues, but we didn't argue often, we mostly discussed things. Shared our opinons. And Dad was great to discuss things with. He always had insight into things and this is how we learned about so many things, from silly topics to important ones. This also taught us that it was okay to express ourselves and even better to accept others opinions.
Since my parents moved, I don't get to talk with my Dad as much and I miss the discussions and debates so my family will know that my comment wasn't a taunt, it was an invitation but I wanted to make sure everyone else knew that too.
