Go Green or Go Home

iT's like, totally in style.  All the new rage, well, has been for a while now, is mission "Go Green". Everyone I know has a recycling bin.  My question is, how often do they actually use it?  Polluting reminds me a lot of smoking.  You know its bad for you, but it won't affect you for a long time so currently you don't give a shit.  People know how bad it is for the environment, but the world isn't going to blow up tomorrow because you threw your gum wrapper on the sidewalk.  Not saying that all people are careless assholes, but there is a lot of them. I see plenty of people tossing trash into the street from their cars.  I get that sometimes you just want to throw something out but keep a trash bag in your car or something.  Sometimes I can't come to terms with how lazy people are.  Now, I'm not saying I'm some angel who has never polluted in my life.  I use to be one of those lazy assholes when I was younger and didn't really care.  I grew up and stopped polluting when I went to school my freshman year of college at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.  This school with its gorgeous campus and "go green" modo gave me a whole new outlook on how beautiful nature is, as corny as that sounds. It might not have an affect on you now but it will affect your children and grandchildren one day.  Anyways, I read an article in The Street today about another promise Obama failed to keep.  The promise of a greener future.  He seems to be heading in the complete opposite direction by paving $50 billion dollars worth of new roads.  More roads, more industrialization, more cars being bought, more gas being burned.  I thought the plan was to organize a way to overhaul our abuse of transportation for a greener future, but I guess Obama had other plans for us.  More roads, less renewable energy resources. Sounds good..Sorry for putting all the blame on Obama, but if somebody's going to make some moves I'd say he's our best bet. If you take anything out of this post, try a little harder not to pollute.  It will make you feel better about yourself,and you wont be living up to the stereotype that all Americans are lazy as hell.  Which we are.  So throw your McDonald's bag away when you get to your house and not out your car window, okay fatty?  That's about sums up this bashing sesh, more to come soon.
