Many of the categories have been converted to tags, and you can view the tag cloud in the left hand column, right above the new Category dropdown.

Also, each post now lists the categories and tags clearly. For example, this post has a category of “blogging” and a tag of “tags”. Both are clickable.

I’m migrating Polizeros towards using the categories for major topics and tags for everything else. This latest version of WordPress allows both the tag cloud and category dropdown to be created by simply dragging their respective widgets into the template. Nice.

Big thanks to Jamie at IntoxiNation for his help in the php coding.

What a dud. Little if anything accomplished as most the nations involved tried to dodge responsibility or, horrifying thought, actually having to do something.

Someone we need to make this something that countries and people want to do, something with immediate benefit that (somehow) either saves or makes them money.

Then you will see real forward motion.

Some are preparing for the end of the world as we know it, convinced that global warming and peak oil, means that life as we know it will be ending soon.

Helen shows the growing collection of horse-drawn ploughs, wheat grinders, treadle sewing machines and other rusting relics of the pre-carbon era, she believes she will need the day the petrol pumps finally run dry.

Well I sure don’t want to live that way (how would I blog?) so it behooves us all to a) cut energy use as much as possible while b) simultaneously looking for new and cheaper ways to create renewable energy and power our vehicles.

Atlanta is in a severe drought, yet a Pepsi plant in Atlanta slurps up 70.8 million gallons a month while a Dasani plant in Marietta uses 8.4 million gallons a month to produce bottled water - which residents are being told to stockpile in case the drought gets worse!

And, the more water these big users uses, the less they pay per unit.

“We have to ask ourselves,” says Allen Hershkowitz, senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, “is it fair to subsidize a company with public water supplies that they then turn around and market, at a time when those public water supplies are at crisis levels?”

Indeed.
