a little of it all

Recently a friend of mine posted a blog about Environmental Hysteria. I do have to admit it was hilarious! But because I have talked about environmental issues a lot lately I would like to bring up some issues. I want to say that in no way should anyone just follow the leader and not think for themselves. I don't care if you are in a church, at school, with your friends, or in an organization that you really like. People need to think and take responsibility for themselves.

Also a really big point that gets missed in being "earth friendly" is conservation. That means not buying stuff. Why does it get missed? Because people don't make money if you don't buy anything. Check out buy nothing challenge. Or there is a new acronym APLS (Afluent persons living sustainably) which you can read about here, or here, or here with a sustainable superhero.

Read about american enviornmental actions. Or read this article, it will scare you.

I guess if all else fails we can always have the response of this guy....

I hope you know that I didn't post that in response to your blog ... it was sent to me in an email. And I have to say that I saw it - started researching it... and still thought that HDMO was not the same thing as H20... the websites are very confusing.. and the MSDS sheet doesn't even say that it's water!!! It's all too much for me to think about... makes my headache worse!

Anyway - it was more along about people not thinking for themselves... much like I saw a video that these boys went on a college campus getting girls to sign a petition to outlaw suffrage! In fact... putting that one up on my blog now... check it out.

Too true.
