       Climate Change

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       So apparently climate change and/or global warming (whatever you
       want to call it) has been confirmed by numerous organizations
       around the world, and just a few days ago, it's been discovered
       that we're consuming more than the earth can produce in a year
       of certain resources, which isn't a surprise, but it definitely
       sparks a dark cloud or two. My family's been cracking down on
       our energy use by installing solar panels and buying more
       expensive light bulbs that use less energy, not to mention
       filling in our pool to make our filter do less work with just a
       jacuzzi (it was the most energy consuming appliance in our
       household and ran for three hours a day). My biggest concern is
       finding a way to inspire more people to crack down. We spend a
       lot of time on the internet, and maybe that leads us to grow
       further and further away from our environment around us just for
       another time-consuming shot of dopamine. A theorized solution
       might be to spend less time on the internet and more time
       outside, but I don't think that's going to help. Another
       hypothetical solution might be to consume less goods and live
       simply, but that doesn't mean the production of those good will
       stop. I don't think that corporations are going to stop, I don't
       think the media's going to stop, and I don't think the people
       are going to stop. I don't mean to be doomsaying here, but where
       is this going to leave us? What is earth going to look like in
       three years? Five years? Ten years?
       What do you guys think? Personally, that trip to Mars is looking
       pretty tasty.
