Whether you believe that the actions of humans on this planet are causing the ice to melt and the seas to rise or not, we probably mostly agree that it would be nice to treat the space in which we live with some respect. It is likely that we all agree that it would be better to use fuels that are renewable to provide us electricity. It would be better to capture chemicals before they contaminate our air and groundwater supplies. It would be better to reduce air pollution so that our citizenry can live longer, more productive lives.
Do not think that you are powerless to do something about creating a better environment in which to live. Every gallon of fuel that you do not use is a step toward a cleaner environment. Every time you reuse a plastic bag or toss a plastic bottle into the recycling bin instead of the garbage is a step toward a cleaner environment. When you use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable batteries, you are headed to a cleaner tomorrow. If you are building a house and install photovoltaic cells to help provide your electricity you are helping to extend the lives of your grandchildren. One small step at a time taken by hundreds of thousands of individuals has a huge impact. So let’s all take one step today, and encourage others to do so. It will make us all a little happier.
