Lou and i watched Planet in Peril on CNN the other night - a tremendous piece - terrifying. I love the fact that i am fortunate enough to be surrounded by people who share a concern for the earth. Our neighbors recycle, our friends recycle - it's becoming second nature to our children - i just wish i saw more of it in our country. The continuous building of McMansions truly boggles my mind. Why isn't it second nature to our society yet? The information is hard to miss - its so readily available. It seems that some people view it as a political ploy - i just can't comprehend that. Say all - or even a tenth of the information available about global warming and pollution isn't completely reliable - SO WHAT? Why not recycle anyway? What will it hurt? How much time will it take? I am so scared for the earth that we will pass on to our children. The damage we've already done may be irreparable. We're basically gift-wrapping death and disease for generations to come.
