I could not help but overhear snippits of conversation from three Petco Employees as I picked up cat food this evening. And I had to get cat food, as I had left home with less than a borrowed bowl from the neighbor in the cats dish. Cats do not take these things lightly.
But I digress, the employees were college age, two males and one female. The woman was talking about climate change and both gentlemen had what sounded like intelligent questions to ask her about this.
I overheard only a little, but did hear something to the effect " we should be having an ice age right now, but we are not, due to what we have done to the planet, so once all the ice caps melt.....the oceans may overflow and not any decent living conditions to be found.
I was really more focused on getting the best buy on the "golden" cat food I buy to keep my cats their healthiest, so I likely did not hear everything correctly.
And I do realize now as I write this that young people of that age and not yet spoken for often talk to one another because they are interested in each other, in learning something that will help them navigate in life, and in the future. At least that is the way it should be.
The links at the bottom of this post are about climate change and ocean pollution.
Please comment and share on this blog post what you know and think is important on this topic. Are we able to live sustainably on earth, and in space? Has mankind started on the way? Is it already to late, and if so, should we do nothing about that?
What can be done today? I heard there is a swirling pool of pollution floating in the ocean larger than the state of Texas. Myth or Truth? Can we manage to get around that or do we need to work through it best we can?
