It’s officially spring (halleluiah!)
With the decreased chance of messy snow messing up their newly washed cars, people are more likely to be putting effort into regular car-washes.

The Eleventh Hour, narrated by Leonard DiCaprio, gives a gripping view on the current climate crisis, packed with expert opinions ranging from Stephan Hawking to NASA, NRDC, James Woolsey and many more activists. The film analyzes the evolution of global warming, citing the impact from humans – our population evolving at rapid speeds, consuming massive resources, money driven societies, and culture. If we keep going at this current rate, we may lose 1/3 – 1/2 species in the world since 50-55,000 species become extinct each year. While many have the brain power to solve this problem, it’s been greatly delayed…
