I am going to gripe a bit too much here, but it appears that society is so slow to change. Not enough is being done. Recycling grocery bags is cool and kind of green, but it is obvious we need to change that way we live even more so, such as alternative-energy like solar power.
Yet, people are so slow to catch on the importance of changing the type of resources we use to power our homes or buildings. All the studies prove that we will live for the better, environmentally, if we make these changes. The changes can be made because there are solar companies out there who know how it is done. Sure it will take some concerted investment of time and money, but it can be done. Sure most people are too busy dealing with the problems of day to day survival to be concerned with the headache of a long range investment like solar energy. Sure the oil companies are keeping the price of fuel down, so the alternative-energy methods are not economically appealing. But, we need to plan for the future by starting now. Why can’t government mandate every new home built be solar powered? I think that is what it is going to take to get people off their butts and do something positive for this environment.
Recycling bags for grocery shopping is cool and in vogue, but to be realistic, more needs to be done to save this planet and our environment.
