Hi Conrad...

I'm sure it's not only the US. I think we all need to take a good look at how we expect the planet to keep on giving.

As we only have this one, how long do we think it will last.

Ok let's go shopping doh


cheers

Thankyou Paolo - a real eye opener - and of course not only the USA--- I wonder how many other counties citizens take note of what their "Carers/Governments are doing

Hi Paolo!! wave

I had seen the video some months ago.... extremely good.... highly recommended....

But I don't remember thinking it applied only to the US....

You and I live in countries where it's equally easy to get a radio for $3.00....

The US, Europe, alot of Asia, Canada, Australia.... same thing when sat opposite 3rd (oops!! I mean "developing" roll eyes roll eyes) world sigh sigh sigh

Extremely depressing message...consumerism, capitalism and western culture (same thing really..) is like a huge supertanker....because it's based on greed and need, it's basically unstoppable....I believe that as small civilzations or communities crashed and disappeared in places like Easter Island, and Mesa Verde.....so too will human beings consume and pollute themselves out of existence....it's not going to be pretty...

....I was thinking of becoming a monk.....now I think I'll become an environmental activist instead.......!!

really good link.

how do we fit in?

I try not to buy things unless I need them, I don't throw for the sake of throwing, I'm a keeper so I'd rather fix than get a new one.

things will have to change ....eventually and hopefully it will be before it's too late

wave Hiya Paolo hug Good to hear you guys are all doing great!!!

Good link, thank you!!

Personnaly I don't like waste ... I try to recycle most unwanted things by giving them to charity or to someone who needs it or turning it into something else. + I tend not to replace "stuff" unless it's broken and/or no longer performs the function it was intended for ... (to my kids horror!!!!! hahahahaha!)

That'd be telling!!!!!!!!!!! wink banana yay It's wonderful to be back!!!!!


As for spending a week with my kis and grandkids and seeing my old friends, it was great!!! My 2 little grandsons are wonderful, I got loads of hugs while they repeated over and over "MY nanny"!!!!! cheering Was great with my 2 kids too!!!!! Me living away has moved our relationship onto a different level of love and appreciation, as it has removed the "taking for granted" element!!!

Great feelings all round!! teddybear
