Hello all I m back for a Thursday on my blog. I am continuing to read Governor Huckabee book "From Hope to Higher Ground" I really am enjoying reading about his ideas for the presidency when he was still running. At the end of each chapter he gives a 12 step program for his chapter idea. This 12 step program that I finished reading today are the 12 step program to stop abusing our planet. I really like his ideas here.
1. Never litter
2. Report littering if your state has a littering hotline
3. Conserve gas by combining trips to do errands.
4. Carpool to work or school
5. Walk or bike wherever you can
6. Turn off lights and appliances when not in use.
7. Have an energy audit of your home
8. Spend time outdoors; hiking, bird-watching, hunting, or fishing.
9. Keep your car maintained and serviced for better fuel efficiency.
10. Take your family camping.
11. Recycle
12. Learn more about renewable fuel sources and consider energy efficient appliances and construction processes. (for example geothermal)
I think these are all workable solutions. I like the term conservationist that Governor Huckabee mentions in his book. I am going to work harder at becoming one because we should take of the planet we live on. Hope that you like these suggestions too. God Bless

Sorry I haven't had time to super comment on your blogs, Mike, the kids and work and the nice weather have all combined to keep me afk. But I do enjoy reading your assessment of Mike Huckabee's book and the good ideas that are coming forth from them. I liked the blog about being cynical. I am not a cynical person by nature but seeing how many people are the list should be looked at by everybody we know :) We practice #12 here, nothing is on TV cept Nickelodeon usually, boring as Spongebob is getting! Glad you are also enjoying the nice weather. Looking forward to your next installment! Keep up the great work...
