Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The last couple of days I saw a lot of postings about climate change, garbage, pollution. It's sad what people are doing. We only have one Earth, and most people are destroying it. First of all we have to blame the big industry, we keep on relying on fossil fuels. Some efforts are starting, but will it help?
And we have to blame ourselves too! The majority of the people still buy things like wrapped cucumbers. Euh ... Isn't the peel a perfect package? Honestly, I have to admit that I'm also guilty at some point. It's very hard to refuse to buy certain things that have unneeded packaging. I try to have a low impact, but 100% living that way is impossible.
But I do believe we can make a small difference. One step at a time. And when more and more people are jumping on the train, it's possible. Why do we accept buying liquids in plastic instead of glass? And I'm also pointing my finger to the politicians. Why don't they put high taxes on all those things? Do they have a hidden agenda or are they really that stupid and don't think about their children or grandchildren? I don't want to go to conspiracy theories, I just wonder how this is all possible?
What can we do? Honestly, I don't have a perfect solution. I'm not superwoman with hidden powers that can change the world. The only thing we can do are small things.
I wonder what you think about it ... How do you deal with this? What little changes have you done?
