I think many try to do "their part" in prevention. I was talking to my son, Matt, this morning about just this subject. He reminded me of the steps I've taken to help (eg. using nylon and canvas bags for ALL my shopping, recycling more than what goes into the garbage, using energy efficient light bulbs, turning down the thermostat and leaving it there...or off). Problem is, not everyone does "their part". Nor is it the major issue of our vast problem, though any action will help. It seems it is more within the power of our corporations....big business. And many of us work for those corps. Why aren't we helping the execs find ways to fix the problems instead of expecting them to just do it? Maybe we are more concerned with doing "our part" and pushing the responsibility over to those execs. Maybe we think they won't listen. It is a problem; there are solutions. Are we more afraid of action or consequences? We really need to remember we are each a pebble in the mountain called civilization. To move a mountain, it starts with one pebble at a time.
