The national lawn sprinkler

When are we going to listen to this?

I swear, I was trying to find a nice human interest story to comment on.

Already, according to Randall and Schwartz, the planet is carrying a higher population than it can sustain. By 2020 'catastrophic' shortages of water and energy supply will become increasingly harder to overcome, plunging the planet into war.

Every time I hear of us going to "orange alert" or whatever I think of articles like this. We need a "blue alert" - as in "the water is running out please SHUT OFF your lawn sprinklers".

Upon contemplating my "new life" as a married woman and all that, I am thinking more every day about the future. Perhaps that's why I am so preoccupied by global environmental issues. I am enjoying my days immensely. I'd hate for that to change.

Of course, there are those who do not have life too easy right now due to environmental crisis. I wonder when we will pay attention to this? Or is it the case that our leaders need to pay attention to what we already know?
