Sulawesi Yellow Rabbit Snails

I managed to get 3 from a garden centre , wouldn't charge me 'cos they bred in there apparantly?
They described them as rabbit snails , any info greatly appreciated......
Posted 11 December 2009 - 10:38 PM
if i remember right they were either £2 or £3 each but about an inch and a half or maybr bigger shells. they have a long shell like mts thats kind of black and grey i think and the actual snail inside are bright yellow with long feelers. i dont know anything else about them, i was put off because of this and the fact that there were a lot of them burried in the sand and i didnt know if this was a bad sign or not.....
How much are they charging ?

Sorry the pics arn't great , just using phone, snails not climbing, but just as you would imagine , one climbing the glass as I'm writing this...
Posted 12 December 2009 - 02:00 PM
My black shelled yellow snail that I have is quite mellow and less active compared to the yellow/brown coned snails. The black coned snail will eat algae off the side of the glass, and I did catch it eating part of my java fern plant that I had, but I think that was more due to the minimal feedings I was doing to get rid of a parasite/worm thing I had going on. Since I have been feeding the shrimp/snails regularly again with algae tablets I haven't seen him eat any plants. However, my brown shelled sulawesi snails are always munching on any greenry they can, and they eat my bogwood, too! Occasionally all of the Sulawesi snails will go into a 'hibernation' type mode where they retreat into their shell for a few days. I haven't quite figured out why all of my Sulawesi snails do this. I also think that the black coned variety snails like a bit more current as they like to climb up the side of the tank and hang out around the filter output, maybe because that area has more oxygen or they just like the current, I don't know.
All in all, they are really easy to take care of, pretty hardy, and in my experience most of them are pregnant when they are brought in from the wild. Out of the six or seven I have had, two have died, for unknown reasons, and three have given birth a few days after I brought them home from the store. They give birth to only one snail at a time, and they do give birth and do not lay eggs. I have researched online Sulawesi snail breeding habits and have found only one occurrence of snails breeding in captivity, mine haven't reproduced at all.
I tend to ramble on, so I apologize if this was too boring and too much info. I do like my Sulawesi snails, they are quite interesting creatures, and I find them cute.

just to bring an old post back from the dead does anyone keep these and do they eat live plant? my friend is selling loads at £2.50 can they be kept with apple snails?
Mine eat live plants and live with apple snails .
The more treats they get the less they eat the plants; but mine have a constant supply of food and they still eat the plants (when there are treats; give them a few minutes and it's covered).

after falling in love with rabbit snails ourselves, we have just started selling them via eBay. Just three varieties at the moment, but have on order from the exporter 11 varieties for arrival mid April.
Part of their appeal has to be not just how beautiful they are but also their characters - yes snails! They thrive best in a pH of around 7.5 with a low to medium hardness. Females with give birth to one or two perfect miniatures of the parents every month. We keep them happily with apple snails.
Some of our current stock:

text: You know when you keep hearing the same thing from different sources?? My chiro said dump the grains. My naturopath said dump the grains and dairy. I kept hearing the same thing in slightly different ways from alternative health type sources. I had heartburn, reflux, bloating. Finally ditched the grains and found MDA. I'm not a great primal because I really don't like meat but I am trying with ground meat to start and bacon and sliced meats, yogurt, eggs and cheese. I just like the clean eating, whole foods aspect. I feel like dairy should be the next to go (at least to try and see if I feel better) but I'm only 6 months into no grains and I am not ready to ditch dairy yet:)

Pretty cool news in the headlines today: via Larry Brooks and the Post, Brendan Shanahan made an as-close-to-official unofficial statement that he will return to the Rangers next season. Shanny is eligible to become a free agent on July 1, but his statement all but decided that he will play on Broadway for another season.
This is, quite obviously, excellent news.
Straight from Shanny's mouth:
I'm going to play next year and it is my intention to play for the Rangers. I kind of knew within the first few days or week after we were eliminated that my instincts were to return, but I needed to go through a period and step back to make certain my body was in agreement so I could really make the right decision.
And fortunately, my body is telling me that my instincts were correct. I'm fine. There are no after-effects from the concussion or from coming back from it to play at the end of the year. I'm really looking forward to coming back and trying to win the Stanley Cup in New York.
I want to play for the Rangers. I don't want to go on the open market. I've told my agent [Rick Curran] to talk to Glen Sather and try to get a deal done. I don't want to leave, and if they're not interested in having me back, it will be a complete shock.
Trust us, Shanny: King Sather has made some bad decisions as a GM, but he's not about to let you slip into free agency. Pardon us as we imagine the trio of Jagr, Shanny and Chris Drury...
Blueshirt Bulletin combines coverage of Shanny with draft forecasts, while Sam Weinman has a quick take on Shanny as well.
Meanwhile, NY SportsDay has the final installment of their draft preview, and it's worth catching up there regarding the potential moves the Blueshirts might make in the draft tomorrow.

UStudy aims to provide Educational Content for Polytechnic College students based on the latest K Scheme syllabus of Tamil Nadu.
Fixed resistors come in a variety of different shapes, sizes and forms. Axial lead resistors have the value of resistance printed on them or as a colour code. Surface mount resistors have a numerical code indicating a value. All resistors have a tolerance value.
There are four types of fixed resistor:
These types were once very common, but are now seldom used. They are formed by mixing carbon granules with a binder which was then made into a small rod. This type of resistor was large by today's standards and suffered from a large negative temperature coefficient. The resistors also suffered from a large and erratic irreversible changes in resistance as a result of heat or age. In addition to this the granular nature of the carbon and binder lead to high levels of noise being generated when current flowed.
This type is general purpose resistor. It uses a ceramic core coated with a metal oxide film. These resistors are mechanically and electrically stable and readable during high temperature operation. They contain a special paint on their outer surfaces making them resistant to flames, solvents, heat, and humidity. Typical resistances range from 1 Ohm to 200 kOhm, with typical tolerances of +/- 5 percent.
This resistor type is formed by "cracking" a hydrocarbon onto a ceramic former. The resulting deposited film had its resistance set by cutting a helix into the film. This made these resistors highly inductive and of little use for many RF applications. They exhibited a temperature coefficient of between -100 and -900 parts per million per degree Celcius. The carbon film is protected either by a conformal epoxy coating or a ceramic tube.
This resistor type is generally reserved for high power applications. These resistors are made by winding wire with a higher than normal resistance (resistance wire) on a former. The more expensive varieties are wound on a ceramic former and they may be covered by a vitreous or silicone enamel. This resistor type is suited to high powers and exhibits a high level of reliability at high powers along with a comparatively low level of temperature coefficient, although this will depend on a number of factors including the former, wire used, etc.

The 4-Down Podcast, Episode 55: Dan Devine of Ball Don't Lie
While the Spurs get the rap of a "boring" team (the new gray jerseys might not help with that), those in the know realize full well the humor and personality that resonates on this team. In other words, they employ Stephen Jackson.
And while I am fully in favor of trading Stephen Jackson if it means a better overall rotation for San Antonio, I do have a torrid love of everything Jack brings to Los Spurs. And considering those bonafides, along with the hip-hop careers of both Tony Parker and DeJuan Blair, shouldn't the Spurs have more street cred?
We break it down on the 4-Down Podcast this week with Dan Devine of Yahoo! Sports' Ball Don't Lie blog. Dan chats with us about the Captain Jack, Parker's Olympic goggles and the future of Blair with the Spurs.

One of the first actions former Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford took was to start the 23-in-23 neighborhood cleanup campaign. Workers from the city would sweep through each of the city's 23 neighborhoods for aggressive cleaning in 23 days. At the start of a new month, the cycle started over.
One part of the cleanup campaign was removing abandoned cars from city streets. A few days before a cleanup blitz, cars and trucks that appeared inoperable and abandoned would be tagged with an orange sticker. If the vehicle's owner didn't move the car, the car would be towed.
City Councilman Johnathan Austin wants to take the car cleanup campaign to another level. Austin has proposed an ordinance that would prohibit people from parking their cars in their front yard or on the sidewalk in front of their house.
Some people already are screaming. What people do with their own property, they argue, is their business. But property rights are not absolute. For example, if somebody doesn't keep his yard mowed, the city can come in and mow it and charge the property owner. A person can't pile junk in his front yard and keep it there. One is not allowed to grow marijuana plants on his property; in fact, if one does, the government can seize his property legally.
There are legitimate questions about Austin's proposed ordinance. Austin said one reason to prohibit parking in yards is that a car with an oil leak will create a pollution problem as the oil is absorbed in the ground. But that argument is undercut because the law won't prohibit somebody from parking a car in their back yard. Back yards are as vulnerable as front yards to pollution, right?
Council member Kim Rafferty was concerned that people who have events at their homes -- parties for family gatherings -- may not have enough parking in front on the street; a yard works. But if there's an exception for parties, won't all who are ticketed just argue they were having a party?
And who gets the ticket? The property owner, the vehicle owner or both? And don't Birmingham's police officers have enough to do without having to enforce yard parking rules at individuals' private homes?
These are the kinds of questions and concerns that should be addressed at a public hearing on the ordinance scheduled for Jan. 26.
Austin is right that the ordinance is "intended to clean up the city. Nobody wants to live next door to a parking lot." The trick is coming up with reasonable restrictions that can be adequately enforced by an overburdened police force.

Rebecca and Todd are a super sweet, joyful, and loving couple. I knew Rebecca from college, and it was so fun to finally meet "the guy" she was going to spend the rest of her life with!! Todd is perfect for Rebecca. He was so kind and thoughtful and the way he talked to and looked at Rebecca was so sweet. Some of my favorite moments were Todd's reaction when he saw Rebecca for the first look and again as he watched her come down the aisle. I also loved the bridesmaid bouquets and Becca looked stunning in that dress!!!

READINGTON TWP. — An email list that's supposed to keep people informed about local government business was used "improperly" for "political purposes, according to a message sent today to subscribers of that list.
The political emails didn't actually come from the township, Mayor Julia Allen said on May 7, and not all of the township's 1,500 ListServe recipients received them.
"They took out people that don't live in town," said Allen.
Allen said that residents started complaining about the unsolicited emails. "It didn't take us long to realize the list had been utilized for political purposes," she said. "This was highly irregular and not at all what our email (base) was intended for."
She said that the emails didn't come directly from the township, but the offenders "seem to have captured our email" recipients' addresses from the township Recreation Commission and general notification lists.
Four Republicans in Readington seek their party's nomination in the June primary to fill two 3-year terms on Township Committee.
The winners could take the General Election; no Democrats have filed, although write-in votes could place them on the November ballot.
Allen and fellow committee member Frank Gatti are challenged by John Broten and Sam Tropello.

WARREN -- Police are questioning a third man in connection with the Sunday morning shooting death of a local man.
Officers did not release the individual's name; however, he was taken into custody this afternoon.
Meanwhile, Reginald Baldwin, 21, of Detroit, was released from Trumbull County Jail this morning. He has not been charged in the shooting, which resulted in the death of Marco Dukes, 32, of Warren.
Prosecutors filed charges of aggravated murder and felonious assault today against Dale A. Hatch, 25, also of Detroit. Hatch is expected to be arraigned Wednesday.
Larry Smith, 29, of Warren, identified by family members as Dukes' cousin, was also shot and is recovering at Trumbull Memorial Hospital. Police have been looking for another Warren man also believed to have been wounded in the shootings. It is not clear whether he is the individual being questioned now.
Both Hatch and Baldwin were arrested Sunday shortly after the shootings on Elm Court between Market and High streets.

Cuttack, Odisha's second city in the north of the state, straddles the Mahanadi River. Devoid of attractions, it detains few travellers on the long journey to or from Kolkata. Once clear of Cuttack's polluted outskirts, however, you soon find yourself amid the flat paddy fields, palm groves and mud-walled villages of the Mahanadi Delta. Twisting through it is one of India's busiest transport arteries; the main railway line and NH-5 follow the path of the famous pilgrim trail, the Jagannath Sadak, which once led from Kolkata to Puri.
The area's biggest attraction is Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary, 130km northeast of Bhubaneswar, which has outstanding natural scenery, an abundance of fauna and flora and is visited by the endangered Olive Ridley turtles. Similipal National Park, close to the state border with West Bengal, is also impressive.

Josh Turner was praying for a good song but ended up with an even better gift, he tells PEOPLE.
"I was in town writing songs one day and had been praying for something good to happen," he says. "We did write a song and it wasn't that great, but when I came home, my wife, Jennifer, and (2-year old son) Hampton were playing and she told me she was pregnant again. Man, I was speechless! It was like, 'Wow, we're doing this again!' "
The singer, who is up for an Academy of Country Music award in April, says that the idea of parenthood the second time around isn't nearly as daunting.
"I do feel more confident," says Turner, 31. "Jennifer talked about little things she's worried about but I'm like, 'Hey we've been through this before.' The fundamental things you freaked out about with the first child, I don't think you'll freak out about them as much. I'm more prepared for those newborn months, the crying and trying to figure out what's wrong."
Turner says that son Hampton seems ready to take on the role of big brother when the new baby arrives this summer.
"He's excited about having a play partner," Turner says. "He keeps talking about how he wants to snuggle with it. I'm hoping he's going to be snuggly and not rough!"
Check out Turner sharing his favorite blessings in the new PEOPLE Country special, on sale now.

Ice dancing is full of people I love. There are dancers who never got Olympic medals or maybe even world medals solely because it's always so crowded at the top, and others who did a bit better in the record books. I always adored Rahkamo/Kokko and also Dankova/Staviskiy. Nice that R/K have been immortalized in the adoption of the Finnstep as a dance step.
Davis/White and Virtue/Moir--in no particular order. I could watch either or both of these teams all day. I'm thrilled beyond words that both have OGMs, but I'd feel the same no matter what the outcome.
Lucinda Ruh and her spins Even the U.S. networks would show her.
Julia should take note of these spins! Perfectly centered and fast. Best spinner of all time!

Her autobiography was kind of strange, though. Yes, I read it.
Apt was at the top of my list too! Have a huge soft spot for Angela Nikodenov as well.

Rachael Flatt. I just like her skating, her cuteness and her adorable personality. And, if this doesn't convince you that she is "all that and a bag of chips", I guess nothing will: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BorwdTWcQFM
MISHA GE!!! Boy is so full of sassiness and fabulosity! He actually had fun with his LP performance the Olympics.
The female Turkish ice dancer, whose name I can't even begin to pronounce or spell.
She is the most beautiful woman at the Olympic Games, and if I ran the Olympics, she would get a gold medal if I had to mint it myself.

CMU Opens New Education, Human Services Building
CMU Opens New Education, Human Services Building
WWJ Newsradio 95/September 15, 2009
Thousands of students, faculty and staff are settling into Central Michigan University's new Education and Human Services Building -- a facility that has opened doors for advanced educational opportunities for our students rich with innovative technologies, larger classrooms and new learning spaces.
A grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. Sept. 18 to celebrate the opening of the 137,000-square-foot building -- which naturally stimulates learning in novel ways, said Kathy Koch, interim dean for the College of Education and Human Services.
"Because of the advancements in technology for course delivery, both with face-to-face and distance programs, students are now more engaged in the learning process than ever before," Koch said. "Group work, connecting and sharing with students in other countries, and using new specialized technology all promote active learning."
Technology features include remote video conferencing that allows classrooms to connect to locations around the world, while audio podcasting and video recording equipment inside the 200-seat auditorium captures lectures and presentations.
CopyCams -- cameras that copy the professor's whiteboard notes and automatically uploads them online -- allow students to put their pencils down and focus on the lecture.
New areas such as the Child Development and Learning Laboratory, the science methods lab, and the reading clinic offer enhanced learning opportunities not possible in the college's old facilities.
For example, the reading clinic now has its own location instead of relying on space availability in local public schools.
And the child development and preschool programs, mentoring and tutoring programs, counseling services, and many other activities provided at centers and clinics across campus are now in one building with more space and resources.

So has she got the dress yet? Is Lyonne, who successfully overcame her own battle with heroin addiction, anything like Nicky in real life? What's to come in Season 3?
She dishes on all this and much, much more in this week's issue of PEOPLE.
Are you nervous about the Emmys yet?
I hope that I look good. Honestly, I'm not going to lie, I really hope I don't blow it! And if I do blow it, I hope it's in such a mediocre way that nobody notices.
Okay, best-case scenario?
I dislike ridicule as much as the next guy. I want people to say, "Oh my God, you look so great and comfortable!" At this point in my life, it's very important for me to be able to walk in my shoes.
You're nominated for outstanding guest performance against costars Laverne Cox and Uzo Aduba. Do you guys have a pact?
Yes, they've agreed that if they win they'll dedicate the award to me. I've made it clear I will not do the same if I win. No, no pacts yet. We're just so thrilled as a group at the 12 nominations. We're all just cogs in the wheel.
You and your character, Nicky, share some tough life experiences. Is it painful or cathartic playing her?
Believe me, there's no shortage of things for me to draw on when it comes to Nicky's backstory. But while I was filming a hospital scene [when Nicky undergoes open heart surgery after an overdose] it was weird because I had been through something so similar, but had almost nothing to draw on. I had my surgery for the same reason, as a result of drug use. But Nicky's feeling was "God, I'm still not dead yet?" For me, I had already been doing a pretty decent job of clean living before the procedure. I was like, "Gosh, I really hope this doesn't take me out." I'm grateful I'm okay.
Is there anything you can tell us about season 3?
In three words: So much bloodshed.
For more on Natasha Lyonne and her triumphant comeback from a painful past, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Bill signings pick up the pace
Posted at 6:30 PM on May 14, 2007 by Bob Collins
You'd think that after 5 months of doing this, I'd know to wait to do the daily publication of standings and pages (it takes about 45 minutes), until after 6 p.m. That's when the governor's office releases the list of bills he's signed or vetoed.
I didn't today, and, of course, he did. Nine bills were signed, changing the nature of things just a bit, and these aren't reflected in the standings as published (Sorry, I want to go home so I'm not going to redo everything).
I wrote earlier today about how Bemidji had pulled to within 16 points of Sine Die in the Gold League. But one of the bills was a Sen. Linda Higgins bill (I think it was the predatory lending bill, but don't quote me) and that was good for 50 big ones.
It seems to me, however, that Minnetonka has moved to within striking distance. Down by about 1,000 in recent weeks, the Redress are within 600 points. That's not a lot at this time of the year, but Minnetonka may run out of time. A lot of legislation is still sitting out there with Sen. Rest's name on it. But does Minnetonka have the horses? Some of their big hitters faded in the stretch. Rep. David Bly got a lot of points for putting his names on bills, but he's faded badly in the last month with only 3 of his bills getting to the floor.
Trivia time: Of Al Juhnke, Ann Rest, and Linda Scheid, who has the most numbers of bills with a governor's signature on them? Answer: Scheid.

2052: A Global Forecast for the Next Forty Yearsby Jorgen Randers
Forty years ago,The Limits to Growthstudy addressed the grand question of how humans would adapt to the physical limitations of planet Earth. It predicted that during the first half of the 21st century the ongoing growth in the human ecological footprint would stop-either through catastrophic "overshoot and collapse"-or through well-managed "peak and decline. "So, where are we now? And what does our future look like? In the book2052, Jorgen Randers, one of the co-authors ofLimits to Growth, issues a progress report and makes a forecast for the next forty years. To do this, he asked dozens of experts to weigh in with their best predictions on how our economies, energy supplies, natural resources, climate, food, fisheries, militaries, political divisions, cities, psyches, and more will take shape in the coming decades. He then synthesized those scenarios into a global forecast of life as we will most likely know it in the years ahead. The good news: we will see impressive advances in resource efficiency, and an increasing focus on human well-being rather than on per capita income growth. But this change might not come as we expect. Future growth in population and GDP, for instance, will be constrained in surprising ways-by rapid fertility decline as result of increased urbanization, productivity decline as a result of social unrest, and continuing poverty among the poorest 2 billion world citizens. Runaway global warming, too, is likely. So, how do we prepare for the years ahead? With heart, fact, and wisdom, Randers guides us along a realistic path into the future and discusses what readers can do to ensure a better life for themselves and their children during the increasing turmoil of the next forty years.
Extractedby Jorgen Randers Ugo Bardi
As we dig, drill, and excavate to unearth the planet's mineral bounty, the resources we exploit from ores, veins, seams, and wells are gradually becoming exhausted. Mineral treasures that took millions, or even billions, of years to form are now being squandered in just centuries-or sometimes just decades. Will there come a time when we actually run out of minerals? Debates already soar over how we are going to obtain energy without oil, coal, and gas. But what about the other mineral losses we face? Without metals, and semiconductors, how are we going to keep our industrial system running? Without mineral fertilizers and fuels, how are we going to produce the food we need?Ugo Bardi delivers a sweeping history of the mining industry, starting with its humble beginning when our early ancestors started digging underground to find the stones they needed for their tools. He traces the links between mineral riches and empires, wars, and civilizations, and shows how mining in its various forms came to be one of the largest global industries. He also illustrates how the gigantic mining machine is now starting to show signs of difficulties. The easy mineral resources, the least expensive to extract and process, have been mostly exploited and depleted. There are plenty of minerals left to extract, but at higher costs and with increasing difficulties.The effects of depletion take different forms and one may be the economic crisis that is gripping the world system. And depletion is not the only problem. Mining has a dark side-pollution-that takes many forms and delivers many consequences, including climate change. The world we have been accustomed to, so far, was based on cheap mineral resources and on the ability of the ecosystem to absorb pollution without generating damage to human beings. Both conditions are rapidly disappearing. Having thoroughly plundered planet Earth, we are entering a new world. Bardi draws upon the world's leading minerals experts to offer a compelling glimpse into that new world ahead.
Limits to Growthby Jorgen Randers Dennis Meadows Donella Meadows
In 1972, three scientists from MIT created a computer model that analyzed global resource consumption and production. Their results shocked the world and created stirring conversation about global resource use beyond the carrying capacity of the planet. Now, preeminent environmental scientists Donnella Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and Dennis Meadows have teamed up again to update and expand their original findings in "The Limits to Growth: The 30 Year Global Update. " Meadows, Randers, and Meadows are international environmental leaders recognized for their groundbreaking research into early signs of wear on the planet. Citing climate change as the most tangible example of our current overshoot, the scientists now provide us with an updated scenario and a plan to reduce our needs to meet the carrying capacity of the planet. Over the past three decades, population growth and global warming have forged on with a striking semblance to the scenarios laid out by the World3 computer model in the original "Limits to Growth. " While Meadows, Randers, and Meadows do not make a practice of predicting future environmental degradation, they offer an analysis of present and future trends in resource use, and assess a variety of possible outcomes. Written in refreshingly accessible prose, "Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update" is a long anticipated revival of some of the original voices in the growing chorus of sustainability. "Limits to Growth: The 30 Year Update" is a work of stunning intelligence that will expose for humanity the hazy but critical line between human growth and human development.
Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Updateby Jorgen Randers Dennis Meadows Donella Meadows
Just over 30 years ago a path-breaking book was published called "The Limits to Growth." It posited the then controversial idea that unlimited growth on a finite planet would inevitably lead to ecological collapse. The book was translated into more than a dozen languages. Now "Limits to Growth: The 30 year Update" takes the analysis into the first decade of the 21st century to show that while the situation remains precarious, there is still time to bring the Earth back from the brink of ecological collapse.
The Limits to Growth: A Report for the Club of Rome's Project on the Predicament of Mankindby Donella H. Meadows Dennis L. Meadows Jorgen Randers William W. Behrens III
A report from The Club of Rome, an informal organization that has been aptly described as an "invisible college." Its purposes are to foster understanding of the varied but interdependent components-- economic, political, natural, and social-- that make up the global system in which we all live; to bring that new understanding to the attention of policy-makers and the public worldwide; and in this way to promote new policy initiatives and action. This report caused much controversy when it was published.
What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warmingby Jorgen Randers Per Espen Stoknes
Why does knowing more mean believing--and doing--less? A prescription for change The more facts that pile up about global warming, the greater the resistance to them grows, making it harder to enact measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare communities for the inevitable change ahead. It is a catch-22 that starts, says psychologist and economist Per Espen Stoknes, from an inadequate understanding of the way most humans think, act, and live in the world around them. With dozens of examples--from the private sector to government agencies--Stoknes shows how to retell the story of climate change and, at the same time, create positive, meaningful actions that can be supported even by deniers. In What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming, Stoknes not only masterfully identifies the five main psychological barriers to climate action, but addresses them with five strategies for how to talk about global warming in a way that creates action and solutions, not further inaction and despair. These strategies work with, rather than against, human nature. They are social, positive, and simple--making climate-friendly behaviors easy and convenient. They are also story-based, to help add meaning and create community, and include the use of signals, or indicators, to gauge feedback and be constantly responsive. Whether you are working on the front lines of the climate issue, immersed in the science, trying to make policy or educate the public, or just an average person trying to make sense of the cognitive dissonance or grapple with frustration over this looming issue, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming moves beyond the psychological barriers that block progress and opens new doorways to social and personal transformation.
