Discovery

"Raise your sights, dare to embrace the vision of who you truly are: a cosmic being expressing yourself in an ocean of eternity, frozen in the world of form, temporarily perhaps, on the verge of freedom, on a mission to become the embodiment of the living solution."

-Excerpt from "Amazing Grace" by David Wolfe and Nick Good

To Those Who Think Drilling for Oil is the Solution:

Drilling for oil in the U.S. is one solution to our dependency and our rising gas prices (although I don't think it would really lower gas prices), but I do not think it is a very intelligent, or efficient solution in the long run. Has no one noticed all the weather changes worldwide? Have we not all realized the relationship we as humans have had with nature? How our actions, our pollutants, our disrespect, and money hungry politicians have steered us into a very gloom future if nothing is done? How then is drilling for more oil a solution? If we were to drill for more oil, how long would that last us? Would the oil last 20 years? 50 years? What would 20 more years of these emissions do to our environment? Look at how the weather has already changed, and it will only get worse if we continue on the path we are currently on. Why not use all the brain power we were given, use our technology, and actually create a life that is not just beneficial to the environment's health, but ours as well? There are plenty of companies that are focusing on energy and fuel alternatives, but not enough if we really want to bring about change. I say we focus our attention on creating a future that uses clean, renewable energy sources, and stop disrespecting the only planet we have with our toxic wastes.
