Most seniors think of green energy and transport in terms of more expense and inconvenience. Even though costs are reducing and ´cool´ green innovations are changing this perception.
So Lets GO GREEN for THE GRANDCHILDREN and The PLANET is a message and a reminder to and for seniors that the lifestyle we've had and enjoyed with inexpensive personal transport, cheap food, low cost international travel and holidays, inexpensive home heating and cooling and more is in significant part BASED ON BURNING FOSSIL FUELS and effectively using the atmosphere as a FREE OF CHARGE SEWER.
This atmospheric pollution caused by burning fossil fuels is now causing significant consequences, floods, droughts, extreme weather, extremes of temperature. Extreme events that happened typically every 100 years are now happening annually. Normal climate change events over time? Very unlikely. A correlation of events based on our CO2 input over the last 200 years? Now beyond any reasonable doubt.
In short if you (please) take the time to investigate and find good data and information you'll likely see it is conclusive that we have and are continuing to, put our grand children´s future lifestyle and prosperity at risk.
The suggestion is to by example, show our grandchilden that by inreasing our personal knowledge of the effects burning fossil fuels are really having, while in parrallel and changing our lifestyle and modifying our perception of what the world can realistically provide us with when the impacts of atmospheric pollution are truly and realistically taken into account.
See the website www.forabetterplanet.net for more ideas, facts and technologies to start making educated changes and to form our own opinions on the damage our lifestyle has caused.
We are today fighting wars over security of supply oil and gas.
Our western publicity machine is also geared to keeping our addiction served and retain the benefits pollution has brought us.
When you dig deeper you'll see the energy transition particularly in implementation of technology and materials and idustrial processes shows the western countries are laggards. There is a lot more going on in Asia and India than is generally appreciated.
Sure they're burning fossil fuels like crazy but in green tecnologies, raw materials and processing thereof they have significantly leapfrogged the west. Some estimates show they have contol over at least 60% of these materials and processes on a global scale. Security of supply will become a hot topic. Our reasons for war is changing.
So lets think and act differently.
Investigate and consider the facts.
Find out carry out the actions and lifestyle changes that make a real difference.
Lets do it for the grandchildren.
Here is a link to T shirts, Stickers, Bags, Clocks and 90 or so gift items with the message ´Lets Go Green for the Grandchildren and the Planet.
