Immediate System Failure

This is just another ramble of loose thoughts:

We need a world wide day where as many people as possible do not drive a car, a motorboat or even start up a lawnmower.
  • We need that day every month.
  • Then every week.
We need a logo/symbol that is understood on a world-wide basis as representing a healing of the earth by the halting of global warming and the slow down of extinction of threatened forms of life be they coral reefs, spiders, frogs, bird, turtles or plants.

An early Jethro Tull album, Aqualung, had a song on it called Wind Up. Basically the song was about having a belief system where you didn't just "wind up" your God on Sundays.
  • What day of the week do you "wind up" your environmental consciousness?
  • On the day when you put the trash out and some of it goes into a glass/plastic/paper bin?
  • What day of the week would you like to help save the Earth's atmosphere?
  • What will you do when the air is too hot to breathe?
  • What will you do when the water is too toxic to drink?
  • What will you listen for in nature when the birds are extinct?
  • What ideas do you have to can help save this planet?

Environmental blogging

It does not appear that blogging is even distantly close to becoming a source of news and information except to a rather small and technologically closed community. Despite a limited audience we are posting this blog to raise funds to combat global warming and the extinction of species on our planet.

We have a point on this planet where the future is in our hands. Not next week but right now things must change.

It's a frustrating process to reach the average Wal-Mart shopper with educational material regarding global warming, so any input you have on how those markets can be effectively reached would be welcomed.

It's going to take an entirely different mindset to continue life on this planet. Not that there is an immediate system failure on the horizon, but that we are rapidly approaching thresholds from which we cannot undo the global damage to our atmosphere and our oceans.
