Blog Action Day- Climate Change


As today is October 15th, it is only fitting that I partcipate in BAD.

This year's topic is climate change, something that affects us all (whether you believe in it or not).
It astounds me how few people actually care about the climate. They are either sincere in this apathy, or feel guilty about their part in this worldwide disaster.
Climate change, though horrible, I believe can bring the world together. This may sound insane, but in times of great conflict people band together and form bonds.

Global initiative has to start somewhere. And I believe that somewhere can be here. The United States is extremely influential, even more so after George Bush left office. The damage he did to our  repetoirehas been slowly repared by Obama. And he continues to do so. What more could say that e have the world's interests at heart than taking initiative against climate change? It is something everyone needs. And we are all responsible.

In fifteen years, the polar ice caps will be gone. However, I don't see anyone here driving their SUV's less or recycling more.
...the sleepy little town I live in no longer has recycling recepticles anywhere. And they do not have public utilities to pick it up at ones home.

But what can we as individuals do?
Walk more, recycle more, eat less packaged foods. It really is that simple to lower yor carbon footprint.

Did you know that we are supposed to be in the midst of an ice age right now?
But instead theworld is heating up.
