Abstract
On December 9, 2008, the BBC reported that, "countries will need to make big cuts in greenhouse gas emissions if 'dangerous' climate change is to be avoided" (Black, Poor Countries Need Carbon Cuts). Unfortunately, the fact that our actions as inhabitants on this earth have caused major climate changes has become common knowledge, and in some cases has become political rhetoric. While an awareness of the state and condition of our global climate is vital, this awareness has been met with political opposition, industrial setbacks, and a general, public apathy. There is a hope on the horizon, however, as more people, businesses, and government sectors are pledging to go green. Furthermore, there is a daily discourse and push for legislation demanding that the governments of the world do something about global climate change.
