Actually, it’s pretty much the same thing. No, the world didn’t end on December 21st, but we are heading straight for the CLIMATE CLIFF. The zombies must be in control – otherwise why would we NOT be doing something so we could turn ourselves around and head in the direction of a safer and more sustainable world?

And don’t get us talking about Superstorm Sandy and no Halloween in New Jersey because of extreme weather, two years running…
So, ‘nuf said. Seems the Mayans were wrong on this one…but according to world scientists, we may not get much more time or many more chances to try to “get it right” and avert our impending CLIMATE CLIFF; infinitely more real then our Fisacl Cliff. So, isn’t it time we at least began to try, for our KIDS sake..?
Yours,
