dictatorship of future generations and the LOLcats of change
see more Lolcats and funny pictures
Im one day late for earth day. Damn. I am surprised that nothing seems to be happening in Denmark at that day though. I have to change that for next year.
Anyway one of the things that can get me going mostly about the current state of the world, is that some people don’t really believe that the climate changes are caused by humans. Some of those people are in my near family and I can get so furious when:
1. people have all the lights turned on in ALL of their house
2. leave all their devices on standby
3. flying everywhere for leisure
We really need to rethink this -and we need to implement the changes and the action in a positive and fun way. Why the f*** should climate change be so serious ? Most of the planet can feel now how serious it is – but we can have a different approach that seriousness. Think Lolcats of change. Think green flashmobs and guerilla gardening.Think different and just do it. There’s two very good books that is actually helping this approach made by “we are what we do” -and they are cool for children as well. They are called “change the world for a fiver” and “teach your granny to text and other ways to change the world“.
Another thing that you need to think about when you think climate change, is that we are actually in a process of un-freeing our children. They are going to be limited in the future because we in the last 100 years have been using the ressources they are going to live of. This is truely a dictatorship of future generations. Im reminded of this everytime I see a lightbulb that doesn’t have to be turned on, a device that doesn’t have to be on standby and when I hear people getting on planes all the times.
BUT i am positive that this is creative, fun, involving and exciting times – and that we will be wiser on every level of all of these crisis’ – remember the universe has got our back =)
