TAKE THE PLUNGE

There are some folk who think they can spew all sorts of garbage into the air and that it won't make any difference.  We're talking about carbon emissions. 

Chesapeake Climate Action (CCAN) is fighting to try to get the planet to 350 parts per million - the safe number to avoid runaway global warming.  We are above that now. 

So they do things like jump in ice cold water to highlight their efforts and to raise funds for each person who braves the waters - as a polar bear might.  In other words, we prefer cold winters - and want to keep it that way, at least around here close to home. 

My wife, Holly Flannery, has set her mind to jumping in the water this January 22nd.  If you want to see last year's effort, check on this video.  And, if you could contribute to Holly's goal, unless of course, you want to take the plunge yourself, then go to her Plunge website and contribute to the cause.
