This lens is about one sure way we can all do to help the environment. This past week, 2 things happened that gave me the inspiration for this lens. First, I read an article in TIME magazine (April 9th issue) The Global Warming Survival Guide - 51 things You Can Do to Make a Difference.

This past week, 2 things happened that gave me the inspiration for this lens. First, I read an article in TIME magazine (April 9th issue) The Global Warming Survival Guide - 51 things You Can Do to Make a Difference. Second, I was on vacation in Seattle visiting my brother-in-law and they just got a new portable GPS system for their car. How are these 2 things related? As I was reading the 51 things, one item (#45) talks about making right turns when you drive. The theory being that you will get there faster with less delay waiting to make the left turn and thereby saving gas and reduce CO2 emissions. I thought that was a stupid idea. When I started using the GPS to guide my travels in Seattle, I discover how easy and great this little device is. It takes the worry and the mistakes out of any road trip. Instead of #45, I would recommend Go Green with GPS. A new slogan I am coining right now.  If everyone would get a GPS (approx. $500), it will save time, gas, frustration and in the process benefit our environment. How great is that?
