For Earth Day, Educate Yourself, Be Informed, and ACT (and don't be "Stupid")
So, shortly after Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" came out, there wasn't much debate. People on both sides of the fence embraced the dire need for conservation. We listened to "scientists" back then. Our "carbon footprint" was all over the mainstream news. Liberals and conservatives alike agreed that we needed to do something and fast. And MOST of the world still believes this. Conservatives in other countries still understand the necessity for action in limiting our pollution.
But here in the States, the spin machine, at the hands of such greedy, short-sighted, narrow-minded shits as the "koch brothers" (among others), have POLLUTED many Americans' minds with the notion that global warming, climate change, (MASS POLLUTION) is nothing to worry about. That the economy is more important than literally the air we breathe and the water we drink.
Rather than taking their immense profits and investing in green energy, which would benefit them as well as everyone else, they've chosen to invest it into propaganda. Propaganda that benefits their financial standing.
BLIND GREED.
And history will not be kind to these assholes. Unfortunately, innocent life (people and all species alike) will suffer their ignorance.
I know I don't really have to explain this to you. And of course, I've talked about this Big, Scary, Mean Smoke Monster before. I'm well aware that the average reader here at "Herculaneum" is informed, educated and bright. I know that I'm preaching to the choir. But, I thought I'd rant a bit (as I do...). So, thank you for letting me. I'll explode if I don't. And that will just add more pollution. Until I decompose... And then, I'll just be food for the soil... You know what... Never mind.
Well, today is Earth Day, as I'm sure you well know. And in the event you aren't aware of some of these films worth watching, I thought I'd pass along their trailers to you.
Fresh water is NOT a commodity. It's a fundamental right for all life.
This one is kind of shaky and the quality is... lacking, but it's hysterical. And frighteningly possible.
And then this one, is pure brilliance...
Utter brilliance. If you haven't seen it, prepare to be humbled by Mother Nature.
So obviously, there's a lot you can do. But, one of the biggest impacts you can have is just cutting your meat consumption. Just by reducing your intake of beef and/or pork, you greatly diminish your carbon footprint. It's not really that good for you anyway. More fruits, nuts and vegetables, bishes...
The earth AND your heart will thank you.
"Yeah, bishes... Quit fuckin' my shit up. Yo... And dang... I think I gots somepin' in my eye... Like,... Southern China... That shit hurts."
(That's suppose to be "Earth" reading us.)
And don't forget to enjoy our home...
It's pretty special.
*** In honor of Earth Day, speak up and out to STOP FRACKING NOW. "Fracking" is DEVASTATING to our environment. Get educated. Get involved. Silence is compliance. *************************************
