Are we doomed!? Well it certainly seems that way, as we continue to pump out those greenhouse gasses with only a cursory glance to the next generations environmental nightmares. Sometimes it seems impossible to see how things will ever change. We have developing economies such as China ready to fill any CO2 gap (and you can't blame them - they want to "develop" too!) that we could plug with reduced emmissions and improved thermal efficiencies. What to do?

Well the easy way out is to say we can't do anything so why bother, "what difference can i make". I guess that's why we are in this mess! So let's not wait for someone (governments) to force us to be more responsible, let's not wait for the UN or Greenpeace to legislate companies into being responsible. Let's not be a helpless victim, let's just all do our part and we might be amazed at what we can do.

Obviously underlying all this has to be a reprioritisation, that is NOT putting "money" as the primary decision maker but sustainability instead. Sustainability of our planet, of a pleasant world to live in for our children and their children.

When did we get so short-sighted as to consciously destroy the very habitat and its resources that we rely upon for survival? There is no answer to that but action today on the lowest level.

So recycle, turn the central heating down, drive less, use less, consume less, and think more. PLEASE.
