Earth Health

Which addiction is greater?  The one where a human being shoots heroin in their veins? Or the one where we inject pipes into the Earth, robbing her of her life force? 

 

Our environment most certainly has an impact on our health.  What we do to the Earth is a reflection of how little concern we hold toward our own personal health. We express more fear over second hand smoke than vehicle emissions.  Yet I dare you to wrap your lips around your cars exhaust pipe and take a puff.

 

Plane, train, or automobile, if you travel then you most certainly are contributing to the fever pitch of an ailing planet.  And no, it isn’t as if any of us want to intentionally cause harm to our Earth Mother, but what are we doing to change this addiction to oil and gasoline?

 

We know that the technology to produce electric cars has been available since the 1920’s, and we have spent the past decade or so creating cars that can drive themselves without human interaction, yet we can not produce a car that is environmental friendly?

 

The only way to fight corporate greed is to hit them in their pockets.  Stop purchasing those gasoline operated vehicles from the manufacture.  If you want to buy new, then at least have the courtesy to buy a hybrid or an electric car.  And if you are like me and your pockets are not that deep, then buy used from a local car lot or from a private individual. 

 

Think global and buy local.  You will be doing a favor for yourself as well as the Earth and all of its descendants. You, the consumer have the power!
