This will be a short diary, with an important thought behind it.
I keep hearing the cry for Going Green and being environmentally conscious. After all this earth is our home and we need to take care of our home. And there is no doubt that the climate is changing. This seems to be the hottest summer I’ve spent on earth. Scientists have discovered the reasons why. The over use of the earth’s resources. Deforestation, polar ice caps melting, jungle space disappearing.
But the question is who does this? Who is responsible for the change and who should be fixing it? After all, we are just consumers. We buy the products of those responsible for climate change. Perhaps we are responsible on some level because we buy the products, but many of us aren’t aware of the chain of production.
My concern with all of this climate environmental clarion call, is that a new industry is on the rise, and sure it will create jobs or something, but it will also create yet another expense or tax on the backs of the people who cannot afford it. I don’t want another monthly bill or a higher tax. My belief is that corporations cause this climatic devastation and they should pay for fixing it. Not me. Am I wrong?
