LOOK: The Age of Stupid

  • and said:

I recently watched this Doco and thought that it was really well done. It is a must see for those of us that have cared long before An Inconvenient Truth but still feel like we can’t seem to find the time to contribute to solving these issues. I felt that without throwing it in your face the thing this doco did for me was remind me that it is the way we the people choose to think about this problem that will determine the outcome. We have to lead by example and unlearn the learned compromises that keep holding us back.My first response was to pack up and get out of the city, find an intentional community and be the best I can be for the environment but I quickly reminded myself that this is not actually a logistically practical strategy for us all to follow. We need to make good with where we are. Retro fit and take responsibility for what we have created thus for not just turn our backs on it. Just thinking out loud.
