Tracie Jarvis - The Power of TalkEnvironment Damaging Companies
March 27th 2007 23:51
We all know that industry is slower and more hesitant to protect our world, our environment.
Unfortunately it is the individual, the communities that are doing the hardest work in this area.
Protecting our world isn’t just some “Greenie” thing anymore, it’s about survival, and it’s about caring for our world.
In our personal lives, morals such as respect, caring for loved ones, caring for ourselves, our possessions, and others – all rate highly in concluding that a person is of good character. Yet we don’t have the same ideals for our environment.
Slowly things are beginning to change, individuals, couples, families and small groups are all taking the opportunity to make some changes.
I must say I am concerned that the gestures are just that, gestures. Many of us seem to be changing, yet we then turn around and go for a drive just because or throw away items that could be recycled or composted or even buying shares in companies that are ripping our world to shreds.
I started to go off track just then. The real purpose for this item is to highlight the issue of companies world wide insisting on destroying the world we live in just because of the material possessions, the life-style we all demand.
If the demand wasn’t there, then the companies would have to listen, they would change because we have demanded that.
It’s simple to make these changes. I have highlighted some in an earlier blog:
Buy local produce
Insist on environmentally friendly items
Buy shares in companies that are making the changes
Don’t support brown coal trading
Change your power supply to energy efficient sources.
Those that can afford to trade shares can make a real impact on our world. If you don’t purchase shares from uranium miners, oil trader, brown coal miners and traders, and of course, the companies that use these resources, then you will make a difference, you will be a powerful voice in making the changes to the world that are urgently needed.
Do you remember the Exon Valdese oil spill out in the ocean where images were broadcast of innocent animal covered in oil and dying?? In it’s time, it was the largest oil spill in the world. Did you know since then there have been around 200 bigger spills? Yes, bigger! They don’t even make the headlines anymore and nobody even blinks about it.
If industry changed its ways, seriously developed better ways of production, then the demands for oil will reduce substantially, this will then create a positive domino effect on the environment, there will be less oil spills, less omissions and less hard to the world.
Who knows, uniting for a common cause may, over time even bring more peace to our world. Imagine living in our world knowing it is healthy and peaceful at the same time………….
