this might surprise some of you as much as it surprises me.
but the more i think about it, the more i can't justify buying the 6ltr v8 camaro of my dreams when i could be driving a toyota prius.
i know which looks nicer, i know which drives better, but i also know which one's fucking the planet harder and faster.
i know that alone, i can't reverse the damage being done but i also know that if we all think, 'i can't change the world on my own, so what's the point?' nothing will change for the better, ever.
we have to make some difficult choices for the future.
i've got to stop being selfish.
and if others do the same, then together maybe we CAN change shit?
funny how the richest people seem to give the smallest damn about the planet.
am i really a bigger, more successful person in life because i drive a flashy, fast and filthy car?
to be honest, i think people will only choose to change their comfy lives if they are forced to (by the government?) or by being guilted into it.
informed guilt is driving my own conversion.
there's so much that can be done without ruining your quality of life.
laziness stops me from switching tv's off at the wall etc...
blah blah blah.
'global warming and my part in it': my own personal head twist at the moment.
today at farm:
6 vans of workmen working on various parts of the farmhouse: 3 painters doing the outside, 2 chippies and a plumber in the attic.
AND most excitingly man of the match, BT engineer luke williams (demi-god) who is the first person in three years of me saying there's a problem with my broadband, to have found the problem AND fixed it.
i cannot explain how relieved, finally, i am to be proved right and to have 4mb broadband out in the countryside.
wooo-hoooo.
phew
