The Hubz recently gave me this beautiful necklace from Dogeared Jewels as my Karva Chauth GIft.  I’ve been completely inseparable from it and more particularly its meaning.

We recently watched a documentary at the Tiff LIght Box theatre.  Chasing Ice is a photo journalists’ journey to explain the effects that global warming is having on ice.  James Balog initially takes two pictures, of the same glacier, at 6 month intervals.  What he notices is the glacier makes dramatic retreats.  He continues to photograph ice and even sets up cameras in some extreme locations to capture the vivid imagery.

Like the rest of the science world, I’m still undecided about what the actual cause ice changes are (natural occurence or pollution).   But, as the movie states the “canary in the global coal mine” is telling us something.  Either way, the movie forces us to consider the consequences of our actions (non actions) on the world around us.
