As I look out on the frozen tundra of my street I can't help but think about Climate Change and all that it probably will mean for myself and all of you. Massive storms, crazy, unpredictable, violent earth changes... and all of this because we as humans can't stop and take a look at the reality of the situation. We are screwing up the earth and most of us know it, but somehow we aren't the ones making the decisions.
Well, that isn't entirely true. We make decisions every day that effect the earth; what we buy or don't buy, what we do with the stuff we use, how we dispose of our trash, all makes a difference.
Small?
Maybe, but if ENOUGH people stop and consider the repercussions of our daily habits, then it is no longer small, it becomes BIG, and full of change, everywhere.
The tipping point needs to be reached now- and probably it is too late for keeping status quo, but if we can prevent total destruction, that is a win as far as I can see.
SO, doing what? you ask. Conserve, reuse, recycle, plant gardens not grass, turn off the lights, etc. You know the drill, especially if you are a baby boomer- we were taught this stuff in grade school- or maybe you missed it. Anyway,
DO YOUR PART- that will make an enormous difference.
TEACH YOUR KIDS - they will be living with this climate change their whole lives, help them prepare and take action.
REACH OUT TO YOUR NEIGHBORS- see a way your neighborhood can do a better job of conserving? talk about it- don't just say "oh there is nothing I can do"- people don't necessarily know what to do-
GET INVOLVED. that is the bottom line- this isn't a practice, this is the real deal and you must play- there are no other options.
