I have given this a great deal of thought.

Why blame the governments of this worldwhen we are allguilty of polluting.

It takeslogicalsense.

How many itemsdoes an average householduse in one yearof the following:

1. fly sprays;

2.insecticides;

3. petrol cars(not including electriccars);

4. weed sprays;

5. spray paint cans.

Everything in a houseis made up of toxicmaterials.Your chairs and couches are full of foamrubber.

You get scumbagspouringtoxic stuff into streams.Somepeoplehave emptied grass clippings into streams in pastyears.

So everyoneon earthhas contributedone way or the otherin this world’s decline.

Don’tfoolyourselves intothinking this world will heal itself and that the ozonehashealed itself.That is wishful thinking.

The youngones of today are far more for action to wipe out pollutionthanthe ones who just talk about it and do nothing.

The evidenceiscoming back and kickingmankind’s buttswith violent stormsand earthquakes in various placesaround the world.

Isn’t that a wake-up call?

Yetcountries still have coal fires.

Evenelectric cars canbe anissue. Once the batteries have diedis there a recyclingfactory tomake newones from the old ones?

Look at theissue aboutrecyclable stuff going to the landfill .

I keep hearing people talk about it.If you want to recycle,make things out ofplastic milk containersetc.

Let’s stop blaming others andstartto set an example for the young children who arepushingfora cleanplanet.

Why use sprays to kill spidersandother insects. Children are tryingto studyinsectsand the adultsare killing the insects.

Doesn’t anyone take notice of David Attenboroughwith hisprogrammes?

We needinsects and wild animals. They make up the chain of life.Once they go we goas well.

Manworld-wideis responsible for pollution,including me driving my car. And many moreare drivingpetrol carsbecause theelectric cars are soexpensiveto buy.

Plusmore and more petrol importsare flowing into New Zealand.

So don’t blamethe governmentsforpollution when we all have a part inkilling our planet. By the wayfolks, actionis needed. Let’s not put things off until 2050.

Action needs to be done now, not later.

The young people in their 20s to 50smusttellthe world we don’t needfossil fuelfor ourelectricpower stations.
