If you knew that your child, sister, brother, father, mother or someone important to you was in danger…would you take action to change what was about to happen? I would say that most of us would agree, that if we could change the chances of our loved ones being in danger or suffering….most of us would do the thing that it would require to keep them safe!
So then, why is it when the truth is staring us in the face about the health of our planet and the danger we are in with global warming; and the impact, that it is having on the world around us…most of us are not changing our daily lifestyle habits in a way that will help to prevent or slow down the destruction of our earths environment?
Denial has been a mainstay for many years by governments, scientists; not to mention corporations. As individuals we have to demand from our leaders more information and more action regarding protecting our environment from destruction. We also, as individuals…have to change the way that we live…making greener choices in both big and small ways. Those same leaders in the areas of government and science are now willing to admit that the greenhouse gas situation is critical. Corporations are a bit more reluctant because the cost to operate their business is going to increase with greener business practices. Still, if we don’t start demanding it…it will take too long to ensure that changes are made with enough time to make a difference.
What can we do to insure that the earths environment is going to be safe and healthy enough for our children, and our grandchildren to survive? We can make changes…we can sacrifice a bit of convience to gain a better atmosphere for our loved ones to live in.
Former Presidential hopeful Al Gore has been creating an awareness for quite sometime…he has withstood public ridicule from those who are less informed about the seriousness of the issue. He has been getting plenty of professional support in recent years about his message. Check out some, of what he has to say here: http://www.algore.com/
Other celebrities are working towards not only awareness but action. Some are touting alternative energy sources, others are encouraging making the choice to hybrid vehicles, still others are working towards educating the public about using renewable building supplies. Each of those things are important and valid.
Some companies are taking a responsible path in how they package their products with less packaging. Some are harnessing solar energy to power their buildings. Many individuals are backing the goal of increasing wind power to bring some additional renewable power to compensate for the increasing demand for electricity on the power grid. There are things we all can do. So, are you ready for the truth of the matter of global warming and the greenhouse gas issues or are you going to settle for the painful consequences?
