I put much faith in the power of the Great Earth Mother, as I like to call her, she'll be around long after we're gone.FroggyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555172324145598395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881908277788043851.post-14496640514284297352010-09-04T10:24:45.996-04:002010-09-04T10:24:45.996-04:00"But we're not going to have a great time..."But we're not going to have a great time of it if we pollute the heck out of everything in the meantime."<br /><br />That's so true - and what really bothers me about the rhetoric some activists use is they say that by doing things the way we are, we're killing the planet. And that's just not correct. Even if we wipe out most of the life on this planet with nukes for example, the planet will still go on. Most likely some species will survive, at least bacteria (and cockroaches!), so that evolution will just start all over again. What we are doing is heading towards our own species' destruction. I think if more people knew and and talked about THAT, it would hit closer to home, and perhaps they would be more willing to change their lifestyles to ones more sustainable.LawrenceLahaiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979267691422409544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881908277788043851.post-91348813453697455102010-09-03T22:38:50.789-04:002010-09-03T22:38:50.789-04:00Finally!

I think that many other things we do to the environment are much worse, and much more important than worrying about temperature averages. I think the climactic history of the world means we'll have ups and downs, sometimes drastic ones. But we're not going to have a great time of it if we pollute the heck out of everything in the meantime. The more the hubby and I think about these sorts of issues, the more we want to try and live like you do - sustainably, and naturally.FroggyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555172324145598395noreply@blogger.com
