Saving our pale blue dot!

We are facing crisis! The most alarming thing about the statement above isn't the word 'crisis', it's the word 'we'. Because it takes responsibility from one and rests it on the shoulder of everybody. Those two letters are enough to awaken us to work together to save our pale blue dot - Earth. We are given one life to live in this world, and it is our duty to do what we can to help save Earth from the corruption of ourselves. The Earth is not renewable, there is no new operating system, no new downloadable upgrade, no new update like in mobile applications, and no turning backs. What we do to our planet will always come back to us ten-fold whether good or bad. So while the Earth is still young, like a child, we should take care of it, and save it from traversing the path of destruction. As we lie down to our beds tonight, we should think, what should we do to save our pale blue dot? Kudos~!

It is something 'we' should begin thinking about as part of daily discipline-so it's good that you remind people of that and for my part in that, I do, and will.

It's just hard to know were to start. I know on my level I try and make sure I recycle properly, and turn off lights but besides that there is not much I can think of. I suppose I could join some campaign's that fight for the environment. We are just a wasteful society. I love my coffee but hate the little packaging that I waste for each one and If I didn't use the I would just buy a Tim Horton's coffee and waste more. There is so much wasteful packaging that its disgusting. And I do certainly feel bad, but it certainly is hard to change old ways. I don't know about your public transit but ours is awful and just not practical so taking the bus is out of the question. Well if you have any ideas throw them out there and I would love to consider them...
