Big fancy word, accountability. I had to ask myself, "how many miles would I be willing to give up driving, to save the oceans? Would I be willing to see family less often? What products that use petroleum would I give up as well?
So began my questioning of my actions. I can sit here and say I didn't cause this gulf mess, however, I do use fuel. So I could say they're drilling for me. Only I wish they'd ask if a five mile below surface drill seemed the smart thing? I would have told them to invent another product conducive to 'life's' continuance. Every night, on the news, a parade of animal life is dead arriving on the shoreline, or else floating upon the waves.
Alas, Global Greed at it's finest, forsaking accountability? Nah, I don't think so. I think there's more to it. More will be revealed as time goes by; keep watching.
*A correction for my previous post, please note: Joni Mitchell wrote the song, "Back to the Garden." A big 'thank you' to Paige!

ReplyDeleteHi Dixie,
ReplyDeleteYou would reckon it is high time that we started using alternative energy.
I know, even though I now have a car, I am careful to not use it too much.
I try to think 'green'. I use my bath water to wash my car (plus a bit of clean water to finish) and also to water my garden. I wonder if the CEO's of the corporate monsters would do such a thing.
In timing with Canada Day, I thought it would be nice to mention that much-loved Canadian, Joni Mitchell, is living the peaceful life in Sechelt on the 'Sunshine Coast' of beautiful British Columbia.
Thank you for this posting, Dixie.
In peace and respect, Gary x
