My Spidey Sense Tells Me...
So this French dude, AKA the French Spiderman, AKA Alain Robert climbed the New York Times building yesterday to bring awareness to global warming. OK?? In a press release Robert says the stunt is a peaceful way to create support for far greater and urgent action from world leaders on global warming. I hear ya, but climbing a 52 -story building doesn't really seem to have much to do with climate change. But I guess that's not really the point is it? He got a boatload of attention yesterday, which is great. I just hope people pay attention to the message and don't simply discount him as a kook. He may be one but he's smart enough to know global warming is a real emergency not just talking points.

About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
