Global disaster, lack of food, flood, fire and who knows what...
These are the messages raised by a collection of reports recently released and banded about the press. Not surprising that these should make headline news, as they all but predict the end of the world as we know it.
And with good intentions people will change a little because of it. But how many will keep up the good work and how many will just go back to their old ways? And what, exactly, do we as individuals need to do to change the situation?
For instance, I'm sitting here at a computer that is on all day and all night. I, like many other office workers, should turn off the PC when I go home or at least turn off the monitor when I'm away from the screen. But I don't. Perhaps us office workers could put pressure on the companies we work for to issue a global rule that the workers should turn off their PCs and maybe get this inforced somehow?
At home I recycle rubbish, despite the council's efforts to thwart my attempts by reducing the collections to once every 2 weeks and giving us boxes so small that most families end up using rubbish bins in the end anyway. I could complain, along with many other people, for more services and better organisation for recycling, but I don't.
Perhaps we're living in an age where everything is 'someone else's problem', but it's dangerous and if these reports are to be believed, it will affect our children and grandchildren and maybe even us if it gets worse.
So are you making an effort? Have you done anything to raise awareness of what people can do? Or do you think that you'll just let it pass as another one of those crazy scientist things?
