Do you strive to be “green”, recycle, try to do your bit to save the planet? Do you think our governments are doing enough? Is big business really invested in being environmentally responsible or are they just playing lip service to appear that way? Is what we are all doing, enough?
We have recently seen protesters blocking roads and motorways in order to highlight the problem with insulation in homes. We may not agree with their methods but we might support their message. I think there are more important issues to be highlighted but that is not to dismiss their point. Would you protest in support of green issues? Perhaps you think they don’t t really affect you. Perhaps you are not aware of the effect our planet is suffering? There are still many who deny climate change or environmental problems?
Yesterday the conservative majority voted against an amendment to stop water companies dumping raw sewage in our rivers and the sea! What does that say to you about a government that promises so much and then does that?
The problems of our world can only be solved by all of us, we cannot rely on others doing it for us. Sometimes it seems that problems are so huge, they can’t be solved and that is true for some of them but if we give up they never will be!
Human progress has always been fraught with contradictions and mistakes but we have always moved forward and we need to keep trying to make things better, it isn’t easy but then nothing worth doing ever is!
Stay well
