In a world where everyone is so busy and nobody has time to stop and think, never mind to think about themselves, we have many questions we should be asking ourselves. Why do we just keep going as if all that matters is accumulation and driving the consumer way of life currently existing in Britain? When are we going to stop and take stock? Think about what we are doing to ourselves and the planet? And not just pay it lip service… actually stop and think seriously… take the time to consider fully what impact is being had on our bodies, our minds, our homes, our lives and the world we live in. Let’s face it, if we leave it too long, it will be too late.

Some might say it’s already too late. In some respects, it is too late. Too late for the years that have passed where no action has been taken. Too late to stop many thousands of tonnes of rubbish and refuse being dumped onto the soil from which we live. Too late to stop the existence of the hole in the ozone layer.

Maybe we can’t stop planes taking off and the motorways pumping goods vehicles round the body of the planet, but we can change ourselves, and one thing at a time, no matter how big or small, we can all make a difference. And let’s face it, in the main, the real reason why most people do things is to be selfish. So start by being selfish if that’s what motivates you! Everybody is different, an individual who’s individual thoughts and opinions matter. Therefore who has the right to claim the moral ground and tell everybody else that they are committing sins against the earth for this and crimes against humanity for that? Nobody. (more…)
