Today is Blog Action Day 2009 (BAD09) and the cause we all are tackling this year is the climate change! For too long, we humans, have explored the many resources from our planet in the name of prosperity and progress; without giving too much of a thought about its consequences to all living creatures (including ourselves) and the enviroment. The idea was that the resources were abundant and endless and that it was our "right" to explore it as the most developed species.
Well.... we were wrong! The lack of control and disrespect towards the Planet has created many many problems that are now becoming more and more clear to us all and that are also turning to be a threat to our own survival and to all other living species. The polar caps are melting, the ocean water temperatures are rising ("EL NINO" is becoming stronger every year), our forests are giving up space to farm lands and the farm lands are being affected by changes in the monsu cycles and becoming deserts (The Sahara desert is actually expanding at an alarming rate). It is the so called "spiral of death" and if we keep up at this rate it will eventually impact us all, rich and poor nations alike, generating even more problems such as disease, famine, caos and even war!
These are just a few of the problems that together form the so called CLIMATE CHANGE issue! For way too long, science have been discredited and it was also believed that all these phenomenoms were just another natural "cycle" in our planets history, just like an ice age for example! Once again, that became another "broken dogma" and today we know that OUR ACTIONS DO IMPACT EARTH! And impact a lot!
The good news is that we still can change, we are still not at the point of no return... there is HOPE! Many other people around the world, just like this humble blog entry, are speaking out and making sure that our powerfull message is heard! WE ARE THE SOLUTION for the Climate problem! WE can retrace our steps and rewrite our destiny! WE can make a positive impact in our planet and place our race once again in the right path and in harmony with the enviroment! It all starts with simple actions that when added with many other small actions.... it suddenlly become HUGE and it can MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
In the coming month of December, all nations of the world will get together to attack the climate change issue! Our mission is to ensure that the final decision is to vote for LIFE! "BAD09" is our weapon to show to the governements of the world that we want to choose our PLANET! That we pick EARTH and that by doing such we are not only protecting the environment but we are also ensuring our own survival!
Please spread the word! Do your part! If you haven't cast your vote yet... you can still do so at http://www.earthhour.org/! Talk to your friends and family... if you have a blog... write about it! Remember... the little actions united with a bunch of other "little" actions CAN and WILL make the difference! Do it for our planet! Do it for you! DO IT FOR US!
