So, this evening I took a break from my busy social schedule to see The inconvenient Truth with my mother. She, the one that eats organic, drives a diesel jetta, belongs to a local food coop, just HAD to see this movie. However, I was nervous to go because I didn't want to leave the movie sad and depressed by the state of the world. News in general depresses me as of late, as the Middle East crisis continues, Iraq is a mess and America remains divided. But these issues cannot be ignored. One must simply find a balance of being education and conscious of the world affairs but not constantly distressed by them.
After seeing the I can attest that yes, I am overwhelmed by the physical changes happening in the world as a result of global warming. The facts are there; it has been, is now and will continue to ravage our world. But, what is more disturbing to me personally is the fact that some people cannot see beyond their limited political beliefs to actually do something about this. This is a problem. The fact is that we do have the technology and ability to work/fix this issue. We need to look beyond our political agendas and embrace the Earth. We can't allow our elected officials to continue to debate the validity of this issue, there is no time for that. We must press them to understand the urgency and importance of the threat of global warming. But first we must believe it ourselves, for the first step for change is always a group on concerned and vigilant citizens.

side note for you:
"One must simply find a balance of being education and conscious of the world affairs but not constantly distressed by them."
