A
few months ago a bunch of little children died in a mass shooting in Connecticut.
I am sure that most of my American readers heard about that (and some of my foreign
readers too) it was all over the news. Also those girls who were locked in this
guy’s house as slaves, all over the news. Everything bad that happens on this
planet is “all over the news.” Lately I have been realizing that all the good
things that happen are barely on the news at all. I bet most of you have never
heard that Costa Rica’s power comes 95% from renewable resources and they plan
to be carbon neutral by 2021. I bet most of you have never heard about the
teenage boy who is working on and succeeding with making prosthetic arms. I bet
most of you do not know about this twelve year old girl who is working on
making a devise to fix brain conditions.
Because
the actioney stuff with death and guns is so much more interesting (not really)
all the news channels, and newspapers, and internet news sites have very little
about Costa Rica’s energy, teenagers making prosthetic limbs and twelve year
olds making brain implants they have so much about death and destruction.
All
this about the death and destruction teaches people that anyone just anyone can
go out there into the world and do bad. They can call up the exterminators to
kill their local prairie dog town, they can litter, they can buy a gun, and
they can kill this planet. But what the news does not tell us is that we can
also go out there and do good. Every single one of us, not just activists and Girl
Scout troops: everyone from little kids to seniors can do their part, from
leaders to workers, interns to multi-billionaires. Everyone can do their part
in saving the world. You do not need to be special, you can save the world!
If
one person reading this picked up one piece of trash and told three others to
pick up one piece of trash and only two of those three picked up a piece of
trash and told three others soon enough the world would be trash free. Same
with donating to charity or giving a homeless person your spare change, your
imagination is the limit! I am telling this to quite a few people around the
world right now, please just please can one or two of you become a world saver?
If you spread the word to save the world please +1 this or comment down there
\/ underneath this blog post saying what you did to help this planet. Together
we can save the prairie dogs! Together we can save planet earth!!!
