Proof of Global Warming

Today is Blog Action Day on Climate Change. We posted an article yesterday on this topic: Change Your Way to Climate Change. Today, further to this article, I thought to delight you with a wonderful sign of product adaptation to changing environmental conditions….

Change Your Way to Climate Change

Changes in Earth’s Climate Caused by Human Choices

We have long heard that we should change our way to minimize our disasterous impact on nature. And we know we must remedy previously-done harm. Yes, this warning still stands.

However, have you ever given it a consideration how you must change your ways as a result of the climate change that is now ‘a fact’ due to a century or so of environmental abuse? Some current and future aspects of climate change have become unavoidable and we will have to change our ways to cope with this. Are you ready? Do you even know the facts about Climate Change….. *

Plan Your Life with Climate Change In Mind

So let me ask you: how will your business be affected over the next few years, and over the coming decades and how are you planning to manage this?

Change Where, When & How You Work

For example, as water levels are on the rise, is your business located in a place where you feet won’t get wet, or are you living in the lower levels of the San Francisco Bay Area? What are you planning to do?

Will you be able to afford the night shift when major blackouts are on the rise, and electricity costs may rise? How can you be pro-active and change tack before the wind is gushing in the opposite direction?

Change Your Marketing

Basic marketing resources are affected by climate change and associated natural stresses. Availability and prices of basic raw materials such as rising paper pulp prices and the reliability of electricity will change. How are you going to promote your business in the future? Planting trees in your back yard may not be enough…

How can you be more energy efficient and pragmatic, setting yourself up to be both green and effective in the future scenario?

Innovation & New Product / Service Development

‘Change is opportunity’ I learned in my MBA. OK. Let’s see how we could make the world a better place through global warming. What will be possible now that was not possible before? How can you serve your customers better/makes their lives better, considering the facts of global warming?

If your business is in an industry that is related to temperature, how can you help your clients in the future better, given a situation of climate change?

Here’s a list of the Top 100 Effects of Global Warming. Take a look. Pick one effect. Think it through for what that means for you. Make a plan. Take action. Talk a look again. Pick another effect. Etc.

Today, on Blog Action Day, there are 7000 blogs participating in raising awareness that we can not be frogs in a boiling pot. We HAVE TO JUMP off the bandwagon we’ve been on, and come to alternative action to change for good, given climate change.

Let our hearts change our minds,
and our behavior change our legacy for future generations.
~ A. Lee, One World Healing

Healing the World – Invitation

Today I have two World Healing announcements:

1. WORLD HEALING MEDITATION/REIKI GROUP ~ We Are One World Healing

This Sunday, November 1, we will hold our monthly session whereby we unite in space to create a synergistic energy beam to help heal humanity, all nature and planet earth.

We have become a strong group of several ’00s Reiki masters, Reiki practitioners and others generous souls holding a vision for good. Partial participants list.

I hereby invite you to join us, as we certainly need to grow and strengthen our beam. Participating is a blissful experience and you can find many write ups of experiences by participants on the blog here. As well, our participants from Africa and England are sending us hopeful words from time to time. Usually, after the world healing meditation/reiki session, I personally feel rewarded and very peaceful.

Our next session is Sunday, November 1, 9-10 am in San Francisco, USA, or 6-7 pm in Europe, or your time zone equivalent. Details on why to participate and how to participate are here.

JOIN TODAY. Please register so that we can energetically connect with you. (If you are ill, have a pace maker, or similar, focus on your own healing first before joining the group. Our collective energy is strong.)

Till Sunday!

2. CLIMATE CHANGE – Blog Action Day 2009 – PARTICIPATION

My blog has just registered with Blog Action Day 2009. This is an annual event that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day. This year’s topic is Climate Change, something that my angels have been warning me about. Lots…

The aim of Blog Action Day is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion. By ALL OF US addressing Climate Change on the same day, the blogging community effectively changes the conversation on the web and focuses audiences around the globe on that issue.

So, stay tuned for my upcoming global warming article, and if you have something to contribute in this regards, please do let me know. Co-writers are always welcome on this blog. The blog is called, after all, ‘We Are One World Healing’, and not ‘I am doing all the work so 6+ billion other people can benefit’.

Blog Action Day is October 15.

Alright all,
Happy Spirits & Lovely Times
