Week 4

So a quote that stuck out in my mind this week from class was our "addiction to power". We have an unhealthy addiction to power. It is starting to set in just how much we rely on our everyday lives to be powered by something other than ourselves and the elements around us. Our expanding need for oil and energy has led us to a point in time where we have run out of answers. They are there but i find that we are not capable of doing such things because we have an attitude of arrogance about ourselves that we don' t need the earth that we are fine.

We find ourselves constantly looking for other things to fix the original problems. There are answers. STOP DRILLING!! We need to start planning now for our new way of life that is coming faster than we all think we are putting ourselves in a terrible position. We are leaving our selves vulerable for the a total end of energy. We don't know when it will happen but it will and we don't really seem to care as long as the money keeps rolling in.

We have the resources to switch over to a natural sort of lifestyle. We would never do such a thing because it involves too much money. Money is what is ruining our way of life and we need to come down off of our high horse and realize that there is much more to our lives than just a green pay check at the end of the week but that of a green world that we must protect.
