The environment is important to me because like Peter Quill says in “Guardians of the Galaxy”, “I’m one of the idiots who has to live in it.”
Mankind has made a mess of things with the environment. I don’t blame many generations because for a long time people simply did not know that all the factories and deforestation were destroying the planet’s ecosystem.
But all that changed in the 20th century. The last few generations of man have known that we are harming the planet and they should have taken action to protect our home. Like Jake Sully says in “Avatar”, we’re killing our mother.
I’m not going to rant about global warming in every post on this blog but I want to make it known that I stand with science on this issue. It is complicated and important and we should not be supporting politicians who are too weak and selfish to admit that global warming exists and that humans are making it worse.
If you want my vote in the next election you have to be involved in the fight against global warming. It’s too important to bury your head in the sand and play toadie for the oil industry.
