Driving a thousand miles without having to clean the windshield is getting my attention

More news that many will bury their heads deep in the sand and ignore. The religious will say it's because we are going against god's laws and the big penis is punishing us. This rhetoric will only exacerbate the problems. I have joined NPG but doubt it will do any good. We can't even cut down our consumption of meat to help alleviate the problems and never mind the hard things. The population is growing some 86 million net a year (1 US every 3 years) and we never hear about that as economists say we need continued growth. The population problem comes from all sources. I really feel sorry for the young people (40,000 + demonstrated in Amsterdam in protest about the inaction on Climate Change. This came out 5 years ago and I presented it during a filming of some environmental from a local transitions group. They denied it, of course.

Plastics, old cars, land fills, .....

Our grandchildren will live in the hell that my generation has created. Very saddened to read this.

Well, that was depressing.

That I will have to agree wirh completely. We consume a big chunk of good resources only because it's easier and/or cheaper than smart planning, recycle, etc. The culture of throw it away and buy a new one keeps creating an enormous amount of waste that will caught up with us faster than we think. At least, waste reduction, proper disposal and recycle is something we could control much better.
