The world cries for help...

Nobody could say that we don’t know what’s happening around the world. But still we don’t seem to take the facts seriously. I think the way most of us live, make it difficult to think about the climate change all the time. But if everyone does small contribute, it would help a lot. Is it hard to understand what we’re doing to our world, because we don’t see the consequences immediately?

First, we can see the way we use our cars. Every child want a nice new bike, the latest model and probably very expensive. But do they use it? No, they want us to drive them to friends, different activities and so on. And we do it! Just to save a lot of time and energy not arguing with our children. Even if the gas prices have doubled, we still use our cars more than enough. This proved that we only complaining over the higher price instead of not using them so much and be a great help to surviving the world. The buses and trains maybe not exist or not correspond with the schedule we have, so we take the auto. I think, that we overuse it because we can’t see how much exhaust emissions we poisoned our world with immediately, can we?

Second, as things are, we buy far too many new things. Because, it’s cheaper to buy something new instead of repair the old one. Our society is build to throw on to the rubbish heap. To fix something today, costs a lot of money. If the TV goes out of order, there always offer prices to tempt us buy new one and the best way for the wallet because it’s tremendously cheap. The refuse dump gets bigger and bigger, but we still don’t understand the consequences of our buying.

Third, I think all of us have a vision to saving the world. But it’s not easy for none of us to doing it by our-self. On one hand it’s the economy who partly decides if we could buy cars, food and so on, which are good for the climate change, as well as our way of living. We try to sort out household waste and not buy for example fruit which is sprayed with pesticide. Everyone knows partly how we should live but we don’t always have the possibility. The most important is that we know that the climate change still going on even if we don’t see all the effects yet.

Finally, it’s important to work with climate change and how it will affect us all over the world. Sweden is a small country, and fully aware that something will happen sooner or later. And we’re trying to do our best to work things out by having control of dumping emission from factories and so on. The information must be spread all over and to everyone, so we could make the ozonosphere dense again. The world will remind us about our way of living, by earthquakes, cloudburst of rain and dangerous sunshine. So if we think a little bit longer we could now see some of the consequences the climate change already has giving us.
