Where do we go from here?

Most of us, especially the baby boomers were raised as members of a highly consumptive society, and we considered ourselves fortunate. Our interpretation of a good life was (almost) instant gratification; a high level of material security; a sense of entitlement about having our wishes fulfilled and whims met, until the last decade brought home the results of this over consumption and the result of our choices blew up in our collective face.

So, where do we go from here? Huge efforts are being made by governments and NGOs everywhere to encourage us to reverse the damage, somewhat--or at leastr not add to the mess already created. The only way we can now apply the reverse gear is by aggressively educating ourselves about the various ways and means we can employ to heal our Earth. Be it recycling, curtailing the use of material that enlarges our carbon footprint, buying local, cutting down, cutting down, and cutting down some more of whatever we CAN cut down...there really is a lot we can acieve together. Do some thinking, some research, get involved, do whatever it is you can do, but for God sakes don't pretend nothing's happened, and don't ask later if there was a parade...
