To quote Karen Carpenter, "Christmas cards have all been sent. The Christmas rush is through."
This holiday season, how many presents did you buy, either for family and friends or yourself? It's a rhetorical question but a very important one. Here's the related query: how much pollution did you generate in the holiday shopping season versus the rest of the year?
I ask because on the course toward sustainable and green living, it is important to understand exactly how much pollution is generated in the production of all goods and services. Without this knowledge, it is very difficult to measure your carbon footprint (your impact on the planet).
Do you feel certain that you know how much pollution you generated? Good for you! However, before you rest in comfort with your assuredness, watch the following 21-minute online movie. It is the Story Of Stuff. It explains in a very eloquent and persuasive way the entirety of pollution involved in bringing goods to market in the western world.
I am confident that you will feel better informed after watching it. I am a global warming expert and even I learned a thing or two.
In my next installment, I'll walk you through some of the most important aspects.
Sustainable Justice For All!
