It’s not often you get on National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition” and it’s probably even less often that your cats do too…
NPR is running a series called “Climate Connections” and this particular story was about trying to find the United States’ biggest greenhouse gas polluter. I signed up for a voluntary government greenhouse gas tracking program a few years back (”Count Me In” is a story I wrote about it for Grist.org), which led the NPR reporter to me since I was one of 2-3 regular people in the whole country who signed up with the likes of Ford, Pepco, BP, and IBM.
The best part about the story is that my cats were mentioned and one of them even meows for the story…

What’s kind of ironic about the voluntary greenhouse gas tracking system is that the government hasn’t signed up to report its emissions. If George Bush would like to start, I can help them calculate the White House’s emissions, and maybe they can challenge Al Gore to a climate reduction contest…

You, like, totally rock. As always you (and Bailey) never cease to impress me. Hope all else is well.

You have, once again, been the talk of the Minnesota State Energy Office. And some of it is even good! We are all glad to hear (literally) your voice and not at all surprised that NPR found you. The cat has even garnered a few “ahhs”. Hope things are all well…
