A little dose of guilt

Someone random says to me, "So, we're positive about this global warming stuff, even the president has said it's true, right? So, why isn't anyone doing anything about it?"

Good question.

During the second world war, people gave up rubber, nylon, steel---whatever was necessary. Their sugar, butter and eggs were rationed and everyone did it because it was for the greater good.

During the seventies we had the fuel crisis and car companies abandoned those gorgeous muscle cars for more fuel efficiency.

In the eighties, we learned what the Cfc's in aerosol cans was doing to the ozone and every aerosol can was changed.

Now, here we are in a real crunch. In your lifetime, you may not have fresh air to breathe. In your lifetime, you may not have clean water to drink. In your grandchildren's lifetime, the earth may not be able to sustain life.

What are YOU doing?
