what we doing

So much has passed in our lives and in the country, in the world, over the last several months,  I thought it was too big a gap to fill and I could never go back to posting.  But the smallest earth-friendly thought crossed my mind today and figured it was worth sharing with the world, not so much my thoughts on the election of an African American president, not so much the continual global economic crisis, not so much even our personal milestones like buying our first damn house, but no, most important, the purchase of our first cat biobags.

We bought regular cat liners for our litter box and kitchen trash bags like the rest of the industrialized world for years without much of a thought.  But like most products these days, there's an alternative choice that's not more expensive or any less accessible, and much better for the survival of global ecosystems and concurrently our species, Mr. and Mrs. Human.  

So hey, I'm not on a soapbox here preaching anything abnormal.  It's not the right thing it's the necessary thing to do, but first you have to stop, think, and go, what effect does this non-biodegradable waste do when magnified by hundreds of millions of humans?  I should try not to be the problem but the solution.  But I'm not hating or anything.  We're all the slow kids in the class for the most part- I only began to have environmentally-friendly revelations less than 2 years ago, so I'm not high and mighty.  I'm just saying hello.  

But let me stop for a minute and just say for all you naysayers and true haters that might come across this writing in cyberspace; if for a minute, you stopped to say, like you did with the intelligence related to the current Iraq war, maybe there' s a 1% chance what these scientists are saying is true, that we're potentially in trouble and endangering our children and our grandchildren, and we hardly have to change or sacrifice anything aside from watching what we buy moving forward and keep two trash cans, why the fuck wouldn't you listen?  Now the execs profiting on disaster capitalism (oil, war, auto,etc.) have a lifestyle to lose as well, no question.  So I'll give them a little more credit; boys you do have to make some sacrifices.  But how intent are you on taking the chance of destroying your family's future?
