Okay, let me update my last log!
Wow, I’m really shocked to some of the responses I got to my last log; I hope it was just the Gore link at the bottom of the page, that kind of slipped in, don’t go there on my account. I’m not connected to any political party, NONE! I believe men have the right to govern themselves. However I strongly believe in conservation for a number of reasons.
First of all, global warming or not, excessive energy consumption is bad all around, not just for the environment. Fuel is a means of control, control that robs men of their freedom. The Kuna are loosing their entire culture due to the drilling of oil in Caribbean Panama. Most Americans & Europeans don’t see this first hand and as a result we don’t seem to give a damn, out of sight out of mind, nice! Well I do give a damn!
We have also become overly dependent on fuel consumption and as a result have to pay enormous amounts of money to pay for these “luxuries” that we don’t really need. You want it that bad, go ahead and keep on working for it. You want to bleed your freedom to pay for excessive AC, heating, lights, big cars and disposable plastics production that’s just fine with me. I’ll keep sailing and bringing my canvas bags to go shopping. Come on people, think outside of the box! Do you have any idea how much crap I’ve seen washed up on the most beautiful beaches imaginable because we can’t seem to bring our own bags to the damn supermarket or take the time to purchase quality and natural products, really? It takes a lot of fuel to produce our plastic crap that we throw out and even more to recycle it! Americans and Europeans live in a disposable culture. When was the last time you took time to fix something? We can bring a faulty radio into be fixed. And saying “I can just buy another piece of crap for the same price” is an irresponsible excuse. Buy quality things and maintain them.
Maybe I’m just guessing here but it seems the environment has become a soar spot and one of political debate. Republican or democrat, black or white, global warming or not, we need to conserve!
If you think that the consumption of our natural resources has no affect on our environment you need to wake up!
Peace, Love, and Conservation!!!!!
By the way I’ll be running for president next term, I’ll be counting on your votes.
