Europe requires a reduction in fossil fuels to reduce carbon emissions. However, they are impacting the U.S. with this approach. See video from Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324082604578485491298208114.html?KEYWORDS=Europes+green+fuel#articleTabs%3Dvideo

This isn't thinking "globally", but definitely acting "locally".

North American Effort...rest of world, take notice!!

Ducks Unlimited http://www.ducks.org/, is celebrating its 75th birthday this year. North America has benefited greatly. From Canada to Mexico, what a great success story.
"Ducks Unlimited prides itself on knowing that across this continent we are one family. From the waterfowl breeding grounds of Canada's boreal forests and prairies to the migration and wintering areas of the central and southern U.S. into Mexico, we are one Team DU. No international boundaries separate us. Our decisions about where and how to focus our conservation efforts are driven by the needs of waterfowl." Dale Hall, Chief Executive Officer, DU

Wildlife knows no boundaries as it should be with us all...
