I’m not surprised about Frontier filing for bankruptcy.

If the media shouts “Recession!!” often enough, we will believe them.

It’s still amazing to me that we have become SO dependent upon oil that we are allowing ourselves as a culture to collectively go bankrupt while the oil companies thrive… we’ve done this to ourselves– and we’re so reliant upon oil as a means for survival that we continue to stretch the disparity between the very rich and the growing poor.

One day, I hope we can come to our senses. Our dependency on oil has driven us to excessively pollute our air in populated areas. We continue to fill our trash heaps with plastic and non-biodegradable waste. Yes, plastics have furthered us scientifically, especially medically… I’m not saying all plastic is bad; just that we are infatuated with our wasteful gluttony to the point of having no where to put it all… we are becoming much like a caged animal, forced to step in our own excrement.

I know this reads as awfully gloomy. I don’t mean it to come across that way. What I mean to do is force myself to acknowledge what it is we’re doing here– in hopes that together we can come up with a solution.

I think the reason I’m so focused on these things because I’m passionate about what I love. I’m not passionate about things going poorly– I desperately desire good things for all of us. In affirming that, I feel like we need a solution. This is not a war against waste, but a battle cry for a new attitude.
