This one by Blue Man Group is  about stopping global warming and asking each of us to do five things for the environment. Ten years on and we are still talking about it with maybe a little more urgency.

My pledge:

1. 1. 1. recycle more
      2. use the car less
      3. reduce air travel
      4. buy local produce
      5. conserve water

What will your pledge be?
