Katie's Post

Now more than ever people are realizing how their actions affect our environment. To anybody reading this, you are probably aware of the need for cleaner energy, cleaner air, cleaner water and more open space. But what people aren't aware of is how much their actions, no matter how small they seem, are influencing the lives of others. It is absolutely 100% pointless to pin the blame on someone else. This shows a lack of responsibility, laziness, removal from nature, and a cop-out of having to put forth more energy and effort to reach a higher goal.

It is absolutely the entire nation's responsibility to take care of and live in harmony with all other biotic and abiotic factors in our ecosystems. What we do here in Missouri affects not just Missouri but the Gulf of Mexico, and South America, the Pacific Ocean as well as the Atlantic Ocean.
My small efforts of showing people how to get it done, and not just preaching to them, has energized others to help out, to halt the invasive species, to REDUCE, REUSE, and then recycle, to keep their cigarette butts for the trash can. It is not the tobacco company's fault or the corrupt oil mongrel's fault. The fault is on any individual not willing to change. The change and positive outcome is on every single person in this nation.
You think you can't have a hydrogen vehicle. YOU'RE WRONG. You think you can't have your home run on solar panels. WRONG AGAIN. Convenience is in the eye of the beholder, and there won't be any more conveniences if we don't change our attitudes about what we need, use, and want.
