When one starts to delve into the research of what is really wrong with the planet it's very, very easy to get overwhelmed fast.
This was highlighted, or spoofed, depending on your point of view, in Modern Family's second season episode called, "Our Children, Ourselves," in which the type A middle child Alex shouted at her parents in disbelief, "there are birds that are falling out of the sky for no reason!" She later announced, "Cows are dying and no one knows why!" She was stunned that they weren't as alarmed as she was.
Sometimes it feels like being educated and concerned about the environment one is an "End is Near" prophet and no one is listening. Other times one may have good intentions and want to convert people, but one comes off as a fascist or holier-than-thou. But neither of these prompts permanent action in others.
The question remains, how to spur action in others without yelling or coming off as crazy.
That is the focus of this blog. Feedback is always welcome.
