I went for my usual walk last night and could not get over the weather! It was 10 degrees celcius!!! Simply beautiful. It was a nice walk but it found myself sad.
There should be no doubt in anyones mind now that global warming is amongst us. The climate change is becoming so noticable. So far this winter we have played in the snow for the two days it has been here and went skating once in an artificial rink outside.
What a difference to when I grew up. Bundled up and frozen.
What I miss is earning that hot chocolate from hours of playing in the snow. The memories of my brother lodging his head into a snow bank and building the best snow fort on the block. Sledding down the hill trying to stop before you hit the fence, and heading straight down a ski hill towards my fathers outstretched hands ready to catch me.
The sad part is that is the reality....they may become distant memories of a frozen time. I am sad for my children most of all.
Poor Lara is so confused about what season it is. I told her it would be spring when the snow melts and it gets warmer outside. So everyday the poor thing wakes up wondering if it is today. When I tell her 'spring' is months away she gets this weird look on her face. I tell her the trees and birds are just as confused as we are.
It is time we ALL do our part to reduce this mess. We need to convert our cars to more fuel efficient means...bike and walk more...take the bus...don't buy so much plastic crap...use only energy efficient light bulbs ect...and stop sending pollutants into the air. It is not difficult....just interupts our selfish living. We need to wake up to the world around us for our children's sake.
I am dreading the summer again when everyday we look outside to the 35 degree heat and see that ever present smog in the air.
It is just a different world....and the only ones to blame are ourselves.
