While making myself some lunch today, I took a look at my latest Transworld Business Mag, and saw that it was their 2nd Annual Green Issue.
As I was going through it couldn’t help but get to thinking, could it really be that “we” are messing things up for the environment. I got to thinking how my pops is always giving me shit, about recycling, I don’t think he’s interested in the recycling dollars as much as he is in just doing our part. My pops tells me, that he has seen on the internet, that there is a “clump of trash” the size of Texas out in the ocean somewhere. If that’s true, that must be pretty messed up for the fish.
As I continued to read the latest Transworld issue, the Editor and Chief Josh Hunter had his own words to say about the environment, from issues relating to the recent earthquake in Japan, wildfires in Australia, thousands of birds literally falling out of the sky in Arkansas…to the cataclysmic weather, that seems to be showing in different parts of the world, like Katrina in 2005. He even went as far as to wonder if all of this BS that is going on right now with 2012 really is true…who knows?
There was also another article talking about how Etnies is planting a tree for every pair of Jameson2 ECO shoes sold. Get this…this is bad ass!! You got Ryan Sheckler, Kyle Leeper, Chris Del Morce, CJ Kanuha, Benji Weatherley and Etnies CEO Pierre’Andre Senizergues planting the first 150 trees that they will be calling the “Etnies Rainforest” on the Maleku Reserve in Costa Rica. Kinda made me wonder what I can do to help?
The issue was filled with all kinds of stuff regarding the environment and how we are messing it up. I guess the next time we take a trip to the grocery store…I’ll really have to give the words “paper or plastic” some thought. The trees that are cut to produce those paper bags, or where do those plastic bags wind up once I’m done with them…will they end up joining that “clump of trash” the size of Texas out in the ocean. I know one thing…I am seriously gonna try my best to just not think about myself anymore…I know, that is a lot easier said then done?
True stuff dude, my mom laughs at me and calls me a tree huger because i recycle everything possible at home but i don't care what she says, i know deep down inside she knows whats right. almost everything is recyclable now days but people dont even realize it! you can recycle any packaging that your food comes in, anything plastic,cardboard, empty tuna cans, they separate what they can at the centers and iv seen a documentary saying some programs are putting more research into being able to mess with the chemistry make up of some of the more difficult things to recycle like rubber or clothing. there really is no excuse why people cant recycle at home other then laziness. I do wonder if the whole 2012 thing is coming true but who knows, maybe it has everything to do with Focus? maybe We have set the focus on The End by not being present enough to take the time to realize what we are doing with our environment? and as a result, our environment reflects this by becoming harder to survive in? maybe if we change our focus on whats important, we could see more adds on tv about cleaning up not just our world but our minds too because thats where it starts? instead of seeing blunts,beer,bitches and killing as the normal mind set. its going to take a lot of effort and a lot more belief from people like us that the world IS CAPABLE of change
