There are so many things I don't understand aabout how people think, and these things trouble me greatly. John Edwards was just on NPR, on the Brian Lehrer show, asking these same questions. I hope people listen.

wonderful photograph!
as we've become more educated/aware, we are doing things here and there to contribute to the solution
recycling
electric lawn mower
more conscious about use of gas/electricity
and i'm in a hybrid now
what a treat too! the other day, at the gas station, mr. big man/big truck was at the pump on the right.. i watched as the price went $52.99, $60.00 and up and up
i walked in, gave $40 cash and guess what? filled my tank and went back in for change! practically skipped back to my cute, little saturn vue
on the other side, my neighbor drives a big suv
here's her story: had a smaller, light weight car w/infant in the backseat and was rear-ended.
out of a sense of motherly protection, she went and purchased what she felt would help keep her and her baby safe on the road. she wanted protection
i understand that! it's dangerous out there on the roads
i'm happy w/my hybrid, but i admit i feel much more vulnerable, especially with two children
lots of praying i do. and more walking ")
Maya Angelou has a great quote
"when we know better. we do better."
and i think, at least the knowledge is being passed around
change will come slow, but i believe it is on its way.
