I actually never really worried about the climate change and thought Greta a bit harsh, as the climate should be changed, as more and more people on planet earth and we don’t really pay too much attention to our environment. If you see some house holds have 2 to 3 cars, lots of gadgets and the traffic jam became our standard morning and afternoon activities, we took everything as granted.
Until Greta angrily yelled to all of us, I do believe she might speaks the truth, maybe it was a wake up call for all us, only the way she addressed her frustration was not really appropriate, but maybe we need to be treated like that since lots of us becoming really ignorant and thought that we are entitled to what we have now, since we have been working really hard for what we have, so we think we can do whatever we pleased.
Every now and then, I thought , she might be right, over the past 3 years, lot of things have been changing, I am not talking about other countries, I am talking about my own habitat, the weather really like playing with us, in the past 3 years, we got a really mild winter, and snowing in the early begin of spring, and the heat wave was world news, and this month, we got strong wind ( we called it storm ) almost every weekend, accompanied with rain and wet snow, and this week , we went from + 12 in the afternoon, to snowing really hard in the morning ( wet snow).
This one of example that everything changing badly and fast, it put something to perspective , I start to evaluate my way of life, I was thinking to recapitalize my need to the gadget, did I really need those Ipad, do I have to let those light on the whole night ? how can I minimalize my foot print, yes, I travelled a lot by plane, I challenged myself to compensate it, like biking or taking busses instead of using car, mind you , our public bus really environment friendly, clean after me, decreasing waste, reused stuff, I know it wasn’t enough….
Unfortunately I can’t really avoid using single use plastic, the store will be mad if I take the plastic packaging from their product, but I will try to reused them, bringing my own bag, using my own water bottle and bringing my own bag to the shop.
I am not really looking forward to the summer, as like last year, was really bad, temperature went to almost 40 degrees Celsius and really dry…
I am grateful to be granted this beautiful life with still bearable environment, if we don’t do anything to anticipate this changing, I am worried about our offspring future, I think , they deserve a bearable environment to live too, what do you think my friend ?
