Earth day 2008
I'm late with Earth day again. Oh well we are all late, may very well be too late. If you want a good scare on OMG WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE then check out this book:
I enjoyed its tale of a dystopian future because I like that sort of fiction but it is sobering to realise that may be our future.
Do the usual things: turn off your aircon/ lights/ computer when you leave the office/home, carpool, recycle and write hundred of emails to big businesses, the UN, national governments. Realise that unless something changes, we are fucked.
Imagine: the polar ice melts, millions of environmental refugees, crop failures, food shortages, right-wing governments with protectionist policies, armies protecting borders, wars over natural resources, rioting, panicking, death. Yeah how many of those are already in motion? Turn off the lights...
