Hey, I'm a Child of the Sixties
Hey, I'm a child of the 60's, you know what that implies. I'm basically a Kennedy Democrat that has really never gotten over the fact that there's never going to be a Camelot as long as multi-national corporations and globalization are our watchwords. There is such a squeeze on everyone to give up personal freedom for national security it amazes me that we sit back and accept it. Anyone that disagrees with George is a traitor, what bull.
We're doing all this because of our oil addiction. Since the election, reports on global warming and $4.00 gas prices, people have started to look at the environment and conservation with a little more interest these days. We got involved with a 'renewable resources group about three years ago and did some marketing for them.
We got so enthused we started our own web site and offered some green products and advice. Things went along nicely for about a year but my partner and I got dragged in different directions and could no longer give the site the attention it deserved.
Things have changed and renewable resources has become a buzz word. About 3 years ago, we wrote an article about how wind energy could provide a desperate city, Cleveland,Oh, 5,000 - 7,000 new high paying jobs. The fact was a feasibility study had already been done with a surprisingly positive recommendation of the project. The local paper and their friends at First Energy suppressed publishing anything about the project. Finally they did; but it was a very small article.
Anyhow we're putting the blog up to try to find like minds or open minds that know unless we do something very soon we are going to be very cold and very hungry. There are a lot of simple things that if everyone did could make a tremendous impact. See our blog for ways to participate.
Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet those that think globalism, off shoring (jobs or companies), multi-national corporations, NAFTA, CAFTA, unchecked government power to snoop into your life, and Wal-Mart are not necessarily good things.
I'd like to meet people that believe we each can make a difference and a contribution to change, and that will actually make the choice to walk the walk.
All open minded individuals are welcome to take a look at our blogs. None of the programs we recommend will put a crimp in your current lifestyle unless you use a Ford Excursion to run your kids to school.
