Bill I think you are exactly correct in your assessment of the catastrophic crisis of which the scientists have been warning us for more than 40 years (think Rachel Carson), however, I suspect the most important activity we can embark upon is finding ways to separate people's personal interests in employment in or by polluting industries…
Bill I think you are exactly correct in your assessment of the catastrophic crisis of which the scientists have been warning us for more than 40 years (think Rachel Carson), however, I suspect the most important activity we can embark upon is finding ways to separate people's personal interests in employment in or by polluting industries. This includes anyone and everyone involved in selling or promoting use of internal combustion engines in cars, trucks, aircraft, boats, RVs, or motorcycles as well as promoting travel in general. It also should involve persuading us all of the benefits of reducing our dependence on meat and dairy products in our diets and the value of buying produce locally whenever possible. This represents a HUGE portion of our country's population shifting not only their attitudes but their actual employment and sources of income. That's a huge lift and yet it all involves individual choice, the very essence of a free democracy.
yes, as I get older, I have less of a need for meat (which I hunted and shot) and rely on fish I can catch and freeze, can, and smoke. I am lucky. Homemade bread is a staple. The local farmers markets have a great supply of vegetables. But I am fortunate to be able to choose this lifestyle; others are not.
Good assessment! May I add encouraging adoption instead of procreation and building ships to cross oceans. My husband (green before Rachel Carson) spoke of engines run on recycled steam.
