Days Like Today Make Me Want To Donate To The Green Party
Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only person who sees an obvious connection between a string of record-setting days of unusual weather and our abuse of the environment. It’s difficult to prove scientifically and even then getting people to understand the explanation would be a challenge but it seems pretty intuitive to me.
You kick mother nature in the teeth and she’s going to fight back. And the thing is it’s actually in our best interest to let her win, for if she loses we all die.
Tsunamis, Category 5 Hurricanes, record low and high temperatures, record rain and snow fall, flooding…these are not random occurrences. It’s a chaotic system but the are trends. These trying situations need to serve as wake up calls that we’re not doing enough to be environmentally responsible.
So for every time extreme weather inconveniences you consider doing something good for the environment that you wouldn’t normally do and maybe we can declare a ceasefire in this war where everyone loses.
