As I compare a wonderful environment in New Zealand with the position in so many other places I count my blessings.In often makes me wonder why mankind doesn't value more highly our natural assets.
We plunder and persist in abusing our wonderful World.
As I type this I am determined that the computer at the end of its life will not add to the growing problem of E-waste ruining many parts of the World. The ever-growing piles of toxic waste from old technology spills into our environment and in the process wrecks the habitat of so many desperate families.
We simply have to do better and much more than simply talk year after year.
President Obama has brought a whole new vision to the World and we must collectively work now to support many of his initiatives. Although, in saying that, I qualify that we must never allow any person or regime the ability to take complete control.
These are desperate and pivotal times - and much greater than simply economic problems. We have to look even wider if our World ever has a hope of sustaining future generations.
