Some claim that if we abuse our planet at the same rate as we do today, then out planets resources will only last until 2032.  That is pretty scary. 

It doens't take much to help our planet out.  Some people recycle, some people drive hybrids, and some people use energy efficient light bulbs.  These are all excellent ideas in prolonging the life of this planet. 

I for one like the idea of solar panels on my home.  It saves a lot of money for one thing.  We have this perfectly good source of energy that rises everyday, called the "Sun."  It's a perfectly good source of energy that I think we all should take advantage of.  Now some people think that solar panels are ugly.  I would have to agree with you.  But we are coming along way with technology these days.  They are now creating what is called, "integrated roof shingles."

They are much more attractive than the old, ugly solar panels people used to use.  They happen to be just as expensive as the bulky solar panels you are used to seeing.  It may cost a lot in the beginning, but when you are saving $200-$300 per month on electricity, that can add up.  And over the years, these panels will save you a lot of money.  But more importantly, if you choose not to use these panels, or choose not to help save this planet, so you can save some money in your pocket, what good will the money be when there is no planet? 

Just a thought.
