I found this great video on the YouTube website. Please check it out…it’s one of those videos what make you think “How did they do that?” It portrays many different scenarios of life, but focuses on the actor’s oily feet. The best scenario is of the lady in the bathtub. Now that I have your interest peaked, I know you’ll click on the link to check out the video.
So what, you may ask? It’s a reminder that we ALL have some kind of footprint that we are leaving behind. No matter what we do, we are leaving behind problems for future generations. I just heard that John Stossel from 20/20 on ABC, had comments about global warming on Friday, October 19th. From his remarks, it appears that he is trying to disprove the seriousness of global warming, that it is not a man-made issue. Does that mean the human race shouldn’t take action? He begins, “The globe is warming, it's our fault and the consequences are going to be terrible. So goes the rhetoric spouted by politicians, celebrities and the media.” I hope that his underlying tone is not political, but if anyone follows the news these days, it seems that one party is all for a reduction in CO2, and the other isn’t making legislation changes needed for businesses/organizations to decrease their footprints. I’m not going down the political path here, but the bottom line is that something has to change, and soon.
