How do the people of the United States, get our leaders and the President to move toward the proposals of German Chancellor Angela Merkel for 50% reduction of carbon emissions by 2050. In a democracy, do the leaders lead out with the will of the people? What is the will of the American people when it comes to global warming?
Our family has already made changes toward this effort, by switching to compact florescent bulbs, reduction in electric clothes dryer use, banning the use of the dishwasher, driving a car that gets 38 mpg, keeping the car parked and taking bikes, open windows instead of using air conditioner......we have a long way to go for our family alone, but we are taking this very seriously.
It is an act of faith and stewardship of creation. We are not given the bounty and beauty of this good earth to do with as we please. We are to care for all things, all people. There is joy in living with alternative behaviors, even if there are less conveniences.
Life is good. Life is interesting.
