Earth-friendly kudos to all of the “supporters” against the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion [“Climate group rallies,” March 28].
Our families are filled with immense pride in knowing we genuinely care about our collective future well-being. Mainstream media outlets need to cease the practice of leading newscasts with consumers complaining about high gas prices. Sky high prices are a good thing. They are a disruptor, which leads to a fundamental shift in patterned behaviour.
However, given the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers has a firm hand on the desk of the networks, and unless we can raise that hand to wave goodbye to the past, we can then expect to bear witness to an ever-expanding number of families standing up for our loved ones, long into the future.
If we actually think that adding even more fossil fuel into the mix of a planetary climate crisis is a sound course of action, then clearly we are not utilizing the logic side of our brain.
The top six (financially) wealthiest individuals on the planet, let’s brand them as the “Super Six,” have the collective ability to develop and deploy the global renewables revolution. They need to put space exploration on the backburner, as there is a pressing emergency raging out of control on the homefront.
Time is relentless, we need to break free from our paralyzed state of inertia. We are all the same species who breathe, drink, sweat, bleed and cry. It is way beyond critical time for each and every one of us to do some serious introspection and get on the same page.
Greed will never leave this earth. At the very least, we can shift our focus as to what we are being greedy about.
