Global Warming.
Yeah, we have both heard of it. Do either of us actually know what it is?
Do either of us even care?
I will be completely honest… I know what it is. Have I cared up until this point?
I can sure pretend I have with a bit of pedantic preaching and hypocritical speeches. I can sure use and abuse this planet and the atmosphere, why, simply because it does not directly smack me in the face.
However, like the fight global warming commercial just illustrated, it still targets what I hold most dear in this world…
…my children.
The time for needless pollution needs to be at an end, and the selfless pursuit of achieving that goal is paramount to our children’s safety and future.
I know a lot of people, hell, I was one of them at one point, who say, “Pfft, that is not going to affect me!”
Again, you may be right, but what about this planet’s future? Without it remember, our children have no where to live and will most likely mean they will not exist.
“Global warming… ? Is that not like… a *million* years away?”
Well, firstly, movies are based on imagination and in most cases very real and natural scientific events. So, movies like “The Day After Tomorrow” are not *that* far fetched.
So, whilst biblical events of nature could manifest themselves a million years from now, they could also very well do it tomorrow. We as humans, know firsthand what miraculous and horrific events this world is capable of.
I cannot lie, the commercial scared the shite out of me. Showing “me” getting out of the way of an oncoming train only to reveal “my children” standing in my place… sent shivers up and down my spine.
So come on… change is only put in motion when everyone gives a damn.
Start giving a damn.
