I wrote this letter to the editor of the National Geographic Magazine in response to the generally negative view and lack of encouragement to its readers to take on global warming/climate crisis. The objective of my response was to shed some light on its readers on how the issues in the magazine can be solved. In addition, I forwarded this email to CNN.com as a potential article topic.

Dear Editor of National Geographic Magazine,
I am [] years old and am always the first in my family to open your magazines when we receive them in the mail. I have always enjoyed reading and looking at the pictures in the magazines. But until recently, I have observed the negativity in the magazines concerning many topics. For example, the magazine's coverage on Global Warming and the climate crisis. I strongly support your constant advocacy for protection of our beloved earth. However, the articles tend to highlight how the earth is dieing and suffering. And in my opinion, 2007 has been an extremely important year for our climate crisis. Everyone around us knows how global warming works, its effects on the planet, the animals and most importantly us. But what they don't know is how they can slow the lethal process down. If I were the editor of National Geographic Magazine, I would create a mini series in a chain of issues that describe simple ways to conserve energy and daily carbon emissions. Possibly have a magazine where it introduces how you, as in the readers, can help the environment. Also, highlight people from around the world who are saving the planet everyday. The writers for National Geographic have the posses the power to shed a new inspiring light on their readers about the climate crisis. I believe that with encouragement and ideas, on a global scale people can change their ways of living to save our beloved home, earth.
DAMAGE THE CLIMATE CRISIS!
Respectfully submitted,

It is now 2008. National Geographic did release a magazine where global warming was in issue and it include so simple solutions to solving the crisis.
Today our blog will tell you some tips for reducing your carbon emission and how you can positively impact our environment. Be a part of this societal change, become an advocate for change; it starts today with a simple flip of a switch or recycling.
