Save Copenhagen: Real Deal Now!
Since Avaaz managed to get such an incredible number of people to sign their “Save Copenhagen” petition, I feel I need to do my part, as little as it may be, and help promote it even more. Sent the link by e-mail to pretty much everyone I knew how to reach last night, but adding a blog post to that certainly can’t hurt.
I maintain my opinion that climate change is just a symptom, one of the many of the illness we have inflicted upon Earth, and that too many are focusing way too much on it at the expense of the real problem, which is that way too many people are using way too many resources and spewing forth way too many harmful substances and materials… But focusing on one environmental issue, even if it’s just a symptom, is at least much better than not focusing on any environmental issue. And when we’re talking about such an incredible number of signatures and an organization that can deliver them properly, even a petition could have an impact worth mentioning.
By the way, this month’s edition of National Geographic Magazine contains a nice article about climate change, called The Carbon Bathtub. I think it’s a pretty nice analogy…
