What depresses me most is that we CAN use solar power and wind energy, but it will be expensive and the big companies that stand to lose by not using oil are the ones lobbying to make sure governments do not invest in solar projects...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711131163299344219.post-43947807172362178582009-06-18T03:53:23.869+02:002009-06-18T03:53:23.869+02:00Yeah, I'm gonna go live with Sara too.

Still workin' on that one. Grist.org is a favorite helpful site 'o mine. Give it a looksee.<br /><br />Bottled water makes me furious. Not just because I don't like cancer either. (and not saying I haven't or won't drink it, but I majorly avoid it.) It is the epitome of stupidness, selfishness, and waste. Or at least that's my overly sensitive opinion on it. Just think of all that could be saved if we all just figured out how to do without that one thing. You know, like we did a few years ago. My, how did we ever get by without bottled water?! <br />..ahem.

But there are so many small ways that we can contribute to the "green effort." Like you mentioned: skipping bottled water. Or buying local food. I read Barbara Kingsolver's book <i>Animal, Vegetable, Miracle</i> when it came out, and before then I honestly had never stopped to consider the massive amount of resources that bring my food to the grocery store. There's tons of small changes we can make that will add up to a big difference.NIKOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146113842618386230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711131163299344219.post-43886703134821785422009-06-17T16:38:12.904+02:002009-06-17T16:38:12.904+02:00OK!!!

And although the death of the dodo bird didn't bring down the house, for every link that goes missing, our lives become more in danger. Take the sea for example. 90 % of big fish have been depleted compared to levels 100 years ago. This does not bode well. Well, I could keep on for awhile. <br /><br />But I agree that things must change. And change starts with me. I've stopped flying, since that creates a demand for an unnatural amount of a petroleum product. Our apartment is powered bt windmills (you probably have that option too, in Germany). But that's not gonna help us when the grid goes down. We must act now, but this unfortunately does not include the "business as usual" model.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
