"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot"- Heard the song before? It is one of my new favorites, and no not only because my girlfriend made up a cute dance to it. What really gets me is that no one, during the duration of the song can think it is a great idea. It points out the ignorance and selfishness in ravaging otherwise perfect pieces of nature to chase selfish desires.
Still we continue to do it. no matter who speaks up, no matter what they say we don’t even so much as slow our destruction. It seems like the massive green movement that came around the same time of Obama's promises of change, has derailed early. Seriously, when will we take any real action toward preservation? The time for change has come and gone. I won’t write a novel based on this because… well what good has it done when anyone else did. No too many people talk and too few people act. Sadly as a student I can’t do much. I try to email my work to my teachers to conserve paper but they always print the damn thing out to grade me. I also find it incredibly hard to remember to recycle. I use recycled product but besides that don’t do much. What are some great ways to save the environment?
