It’s 10:30 p.m., and we just got in from a Democratic party fundraiser in Penn Forest Township. I’m too tired to think, but I’ve had this quotation in reserve for just such an evening. Here it is:
“What we are now doing to the world by degrading the land surfaces, by polluting the waters and by adding greenhouse gases to the air at an unprecedented rate--all this is new in the experience of the earth. It is mankind and his activities which are changing the environment of our planet in damaging and dangerous ways.... The environmental challenge which confronts the whole world demands an equivalent response from the whole world.... Those countries who are industrialized must contribute more to help those who are not.”
Margaret Thatcher said that in an address to the U.N. in 1989.
If you would have stayed home you would not contributed to the Greenhouse gases from you auto.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I probably would have washed and dried my laundry, and the dryer takes a lot of energy/ Besides, the party was a lot more fun.
