Climate Change - You & Me

I have been involved with "Eco" charities for years. I've sat at innumerable dinner tables & in coffee bars discussing climate change with mainly well educated friends. I've even discussed it with people I hardly know. I'm tired of the hand wringing negativity. I am tired of people saying that there is nothing they can do because they don't have the power to change things. It simply isn't true. Every one of us can make a difference. We just need to begin.

As always the David Attenborough documentary, "Extinction - the Facts" on Sunday was really well done & informative.  It was rightly disturbing, the prospect he outlines is terrifying.

We are at a tipping point. If we wait it may be too late. The harms we have done will be so far gone there could be no coming back. Just think about that. Think about your children & your grandchildren. Really consider the prospect of Armageddon. If you do that you will realise that however difficult the choices you have to make now are, they are nothing in comparison to what will happen if you do nothing. Giving up meat may seem impossible, only buying local produce, in season, may seem too restrictive. Trust me the alternative is much worse.

So don't talk about it. Do something
