I have been thinking about this climate change --- the biggest global crisis humans have had to face.
For the record:
I am not fully convinced it is a crisis, but I am more leaning towards: a natural order of the world.
but, for the purpose of this essay/argument, let us assume I am in aggreement with the general 'state of affairs'.
So, I have been thinking --- we all know if we don't go 'green' we are in danger of self-destruction and humans will be no more. My thoughts are around the idea of why, aren't we 'fearful' to the point where we see using those old light bulbs as sealing our fate.
I think, we need to evoke the same fear we have with AIDS/HIV. Let me elaborate the analogy, if you will:
We all know the risks involved in un-safe sex are potentially terminal, the fear is there --- nobody is brave enough to say: "well, since I've used a condom 3 times this week, I can afford to not use one."
So, why do we do the same with going 'green' - here or there we are green, but sometimes we are not. I was saying to a friend if it was true that if you used fossil fuels, you'd die in a week:
the people would invest in solar, geothermal (which is a very fascinating thing) or wind energy immediately --- this gradually going green is more dangerous, I think.
but, this was an unplanned post --- so we shall leave it there.
