My good friend Peter (who also runs the site HotGlobe.org) sent an inspiring email today with some fine words and a link to the trailer for “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Then do yourself, and all of us, a favor – do something! Anything is a start. Start small and work up to bigger changes. It isn’t hard and our lives depend on it! If you don’t think so, I want to hear about it – do your research and give me proof we’re not screwing things up.
If you aren’t doing something, it means there are dozens or hundreds of others who aren’t. Be proud of making a difference and don’t be afraid to tell people. Transfer your positive energy on to others.
It’s much easier to sit back and be apathetic. And that’s the problem. Unfortunately so much of our American culture is reliant on the majority not giving a shit. But it doesn’t make it right.
Don’t just think of yourself when you decide to be lazy and not take action. Think a bit further in the future. Even if you don’t have or want kids. What are you doing to ensure a better tomorrow? Nothing? Then act. Now. Not in the future. Not tomorrow (as it will never come if you keep saying that).
The simplest thing I think everyone can do – be more conscious of your driving. Can you walk there? Do you really need to rush? Can you plan your day better to reduce trips? You probably can, and it will most likely increase your enjoyment of your life.
Oh, and check out the whole Climate Crisis site. There’s a lot there to learn.
