We Must Get Serious About the Environment…

Or it will be too late

If we don’t all get serious about the environment and the ravages of climate change, soon it will be too late to reverse the damage. I don’t understand why governments and large corporations aren’t doing more.

Politicians in the States are too influenced by industries with vested interests and pressure groups. These groups have the power to impact the success of political election campaigns. There’s too much bias and external influence in the UK too.

But I don’t think the will of the people is there to transform to a green economy. People want the lifestyles that the large corporations deliver. They don’t want to have to compromise, cut back, or do things differently. They don’t care enough.

They won’t vote a government in that promises to get all the housing insulated, or ban polluting practices.

In the UK, they had an opposition party deliver a very green agenda at the last election and they didn’t vote for it. The party failed badly and now has a new leader with other priorities.

I’m appalled by some of the pointless pollution by large companies. It’s not all in the interests of delivering the goods to the people, either.
