Green-ill-logic
I just came back from a fantastic December holiday. The thought of having to go shopping after a 13hr drive and a 3 week do-nothing stint was horrendously depressing. So when I opened my fridge and saw that my partner’s PA had thoughtfully done it for me I was immensely relieved. Until I noticed her choice of food. My gratitude instantly turned to extreme irritation.
How is it possible I ask you that if there is a choice of organic produce one would choose not to buy it? Considering it was my money spent on these erroneous items my irritation turned into anger (ok sitting in a car for that long didn’t help). And then I thought of a recent and very unpleasant realization I had recently; people simply don’t care.
Being in the industry of changing worlds it goes without saying that I am knowledgeable about a lot of things that effect our body and our environment. But still… surely this understanding is more logic based? Surely people with any modicum of education would know the benefits of eating organic food rather than that which is filled with chemicals? The same chemicals that have been proven to cause Cancer, Parkinsons and other modern diseases?
In my down moments I feel a total hopelessness; I watch people throw rubbish out their cars, speak about others in total ignorance, speak about world affairs in total ignorance, fill their trolleys to the brim and then request the same amount of plastic bags to carry their unnecessaries. I used to think it was a matter of education, surely if people knew of a different way their choices would be different?
Sadly I am beginning to think that it is pure laziness. Pollution, radiation, poisoning and everything else is obvious you don’t need to be taught. People would rather just carry on doing what they always have before.
So how do we shift from past destructive practices into the totally logical place of health for self and planet? I’ll have to come back to you on that one… perhaps it is the starfish way… one at a time.
What was the world population again?
