U.N.S. Earth S.O.S.

. . . - - - . . .

There is this ship U.N.S. Earth that a lot of people are on, a few billion in fact. As far as I know it, you are too. The strange thing isn't that there is a leak, but that we keep discussing if it is there and it has been known for decades. However instead of doing anything, everyone seems to stand around look at it, and then discuss how it isn't truly a leak. It has grown over the generations, it was small and now it is large, and it will only get larger.

How can you do something? Start bailing or start plugging! And please stop discussing, it is there you've seen it, and stop lieing to others that it doesn't exist.

Ride a bicycle, because cars cost a lot and are only going to get more expensive.

Buy energy credits for Solar, Wind, Hydro or possibly even Geothermal power.

Eat Local, Organic, or at least Fair-trade, and those are listed in priority. Local is far more important then Organic, but if Organic is the only thing other then conventional exports or even California or Florida foods then go Organic, and finally Fair-Trade if possible do it. This is especially important for coffee drinkers, because coffee is an exported to us.

Reduce, reuse, and recycle, and always close the loop. Once again these are listed in priority. Do you need it, is it just going to be another bothersome thing, another thing to take more of your ever used day. Let us face it, most things being sold are just like that. Stay away from them. Reuse, especially containers plastic is stronger then steel in a weight to weight comparison. As such plastic needs to be used for a larger life then anything with steel. If your just going to throw away plastic, please stay away from it. That goes for everything else as well, throw away is terrible. I understand you don't want it in your backyard, your a Not In My Back Yard [NIMBY], and so is everyone else, so start being a Not In Anyones Back Yard [NIABY]. Finally when things do get used to their end of their life recycle them so that a new thing may be made and used. Closing the loop is if your holding on to things to reuse, reuse them do just store them. If you need to buy something find this something with Post Consumer Recycled [PCR] content.
