After this time, there is no more time.

Every minute that passes without action being taken is a minute wasted. We've strategized, we've debated, we've wasted years of time deciding on our course of action. What we need to do now is follow that course of action, or at least the part of our strategy that has been confirmed. By 'acting' I don't mean a few of us, a select few of eco-friendly people, I am referring to the entire global population who are in a position to make sacrifices; not those struggling under the burdens of starvation and poverty. We are sucking the Earth dry of its resources, we have forced our planet into ecological overdraft, we are pushing our world into an era of lack of sustainability, an era that only affects us in the long run. If we truly cared about our children, their living conditions and the future of our race we'd sacrifice at least a little of our lives for the benefit.

Okay. Appealing to human nature, let's disregard the future for a moment. Think of now. Think of today. Spending more on sunblock? Higher chances of absorbing UV rays? Unable to go to the beach? Can't travel back from Europe due to emissions caused by the volcano in Iceland? The Tsunami of 2004? The Earthquake in Haiti? Well those were caused by me, by you, by US. They are OUR fault. People have died, cousins, aunts, uncles, our MOTHERS, FATHERS, CHILDREN. Not all of us are still convinced that it is our fault, but convinced or not we are the ones being affected therefore there is absolutely no use blaming our issues on others. It doesn't matter who's fault it is anymore, the only option we have left is to ACT.
