Solar Light Suggestions Needed

I have been wanting to get some solar-powered lights for a while now. The ones I find online have reviews that range from them being cheap-looking, to poor quality, to poor receivers of solar power, to just plain bad. Does anyone have any experience with solar lights? Anyone who can lend a recommendation or suggestion.

To get the conversation started, I was looking at these Westinghouse stainless steel lights on Amazon (link).

Global Warming: An Inconvenient Truth

Last night I watched a campus showing of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. The documentary/slideshow talks about global warming. I’ve collected a few clips from YouTube that make some good points, and some that are humorous like the clip from Futurama. The last clip below is from an interview with Al Gore where he explains what you can do about global warming. The accompanying website for the movie and book has a Take Action page that can help you do more as well. Try out the Carbon Calculator to find out your impact on the environment and how you can become carbon neutral.
