We all know that Mother Nature has her own agenda, but are we invoking her wrath? Knowing the devastating power she can bring we still feel we are above it through technology. Granted technology have brought us the Internet, cell phones, and major advances in the medical field. Did it help in the gulf oil spill, climate change, and now the recent catastrophe in Japan. How many wake up calls do we need before its to late.
I sit here in my limited existence and am appalled at the lack of concern. Sure we are all concerned when it makes headlines.
Our society is reactive rather than proactive. People would rather cut costs to save money, then save lives. What is more frustrating is that it doesn't have to be the case. We have existing technology that will do both. So why not utilize it? Why, Because most of us don't think about it, or are to greedy to care.
Here's what you don't realize. If you did care things wouldn't cost as much. You be concerned about the air you breath, food you eat, water you drink. We all go to the grocery store and see the increases in food prices. You don't think its due to what we are doing to our climate. More people die of starvation than any other diseases globally. It has everything to do with climate changes, brought on ourselves.
So how do we Save Ourselves from Ourselves. Awareness, Education, and Action on a global scale. Utilize Green Energy sources (solar, wind, hydro), reduce carbon footprint, over fishing, and advocate alternative fuel sources. Is an electric car re powered by wind while you drive out of the question? We all need to rethink, and think outside the box. Anything is possible as history shows, but let us continue to have a history.
