I believe that many of us are so busy with our daily lives that we do not stop to think about the world around us. I think that the world is scary if you do think about it. The saying ignorance is bliss is fitting.
My husband recently asked, Are you a hippy tree hugger now? Well, I am alot of things and one is a person who cares about things like medicine for my future children, clean water, and fresh air. All of which is dimishing before our eyes and we just do not give a damn because we can’t make a differnce and we are selfish.
I used to be that person that was critical, living in a bubble, and selfish. The world is in an awakening and we must awaken because I feel like we are all being shaken until we do something.
I can’t sit here and say that because I don’t eat meat or I try not to flush to many times I am saving the planet but, at least I know I am a good person and trying!
That is all we can do is educate ourselves, try, and teach!
There is a great documentary called FLOW that I want to share with you all. FLOW‘s focus is the world water crisis, and the privatization of the world’s water supply.
Not really news to anyone, but the world’s water supply is quickly diminishing… and this is scary! Do you ever think about where your water comes from or how much water you’re actually using up? It’s always readily available to us. But can you imagine other places in the world where they do not have this luxury?
The main theme of the movie, “Can anyone really own water?”. The film shows a lot of people and corporations that are making the situation with water worse… but it also highlights many people and institutions that are trying to provide a solution to the problem as well.
Take a look at the trailer (above). I hope you will all see this film! It is so moving, inspiring, and informative! I just learned about this film and will be running out to watch it.
