Where do I begin ?.....
The conflicts in the world have rested heavily on my heart these past few weeks.
I feel my governments response has been very weak, and full of selfish motives. Today as I sat, with my intention grounded in finding harmony, a thought arose and has given me a new insight, or maybe it's just a realization that floated to the surface.
" Violence ends when awareness sees awareness, rather then seeing other."
May this find you well.

Focus- one: to raise funds to re-open state parks and be a liason for connecting with construction companies for "volenteered" maintainance of state parks in exchange for tax deductions, and buy and preserve as much property as possible.
two: offer full line of " get off the grid " solar, wind, and grey water products for the average person, as well as, the larger business campus'.
Three: provide educational resources that are easy to assimilate and are non-patisan regarding environmental concerns.
Hey BF i've got some wisdom for you,
"cat who sits with fruit skin on head, is not necessarily a sour-pus":)
"rations 4 yer car me boyo, america cannie use tis militry, oh dearie me.. everyone has local jobsys.. an tae middel eastern coountries, aye tae became mae powerful tha been fer a leng time"
maybe the time for china's awakening?
When the oil runs out - I would think that when the Middle East runs out of oil - they're going to lose some bargaining power and people aren't going to be so acceptable of them. Dubai is already planning on running out of oil. They have been transforming their country into a resort knowing that the oil they are pumping will run out before 2020.

No more luxury cars for China from what I've been reading. Plus, they are the leader next to Japan at using solar power. News is toyota's new rapid charge batteries due out next year should help the Prius squeek out 120 mpg.
Oil's half production is predicted for 2015 or so.
Plus you might want to look at Tesla Motors-electric cars or ZAP! ( zero air pollution ).

There is hope
2015 - Wow... that is amazing.
We've been hearing about it for years and yet we keep (and have kept) using this resource like there was no tomorrow.
It could be a different world in the next 10 years... What is the world going to do when there is no more auto fuel? Airline fuel? Ship fuel? Even when vehicles reach 120 mpg - it has still become a precious commodity. Yet another step between the "haves" and the "have nots"?

That is interesting too. Obviously, I'm a capilalistic pig because I don't know about many of these things.

The results could turn into riots and a bit of anarchy, will certainly be an interesting time to live in, but most likely much worse. Fruit rises in price.. food becomes more scarce.. farmers will make a killing, and more land could be turned into farmland, ppl become more self sufficient..
oh the possibilities
Remember the lesson the French taught the world about not taking care of the rabble awhile back?
The whole subject matter of enviromental issues is complex because ultimately it means giving something up, something that is a "Hard sell" to a public who live for today and not tomorrow. Clearly it requires leadership and vision, sadly this appears to be missing in many of the worlds leaders. BF made a good point Dubai has realised that the oil is running out, their leader has shown great forward thinking. Canada is sat on millions of barrels of oil, however the idea of tearing up the landscape is sad. I know Buddhism is about living in the NOW, well NOW would be a good idea to start planning.....Any ideas

Just in the state of Texas alone, and this issue cannot stand uncahallenged.
why don't he do the classic. im for it. when needing votes, im now against it now i don't need votes.
Environmentalist took it before a Federal Judge and he ruled against it and got it stopped. Thank goodness.
As for possibly having to become more self sufficient. I have done a lot of research on this along with other ppl I know and I do honestly believe the time is coming. I think this is the time that ppl need to learn how to garden and raise vegetables, plant fruit trees learn how to can fruits,vegetables and meat. Start buying or saving for solar panels etc.... Do I think we need to panic. No, but we do need to learn how to take care of our selves. Will all this happen in our life time......Some of us no and some of us very possibly but if nothing else, it will happen in probably our children's life time and if we don't know how to do these things then they won't know how. It is our job to teach them how to be self sufficient in case they need to become so. If we don't teach them then who will? Canning fruits and vegetables is almost a lost art already. It will be in the next 5-10 years if we don't start learning how to do it and then teach our children how.
Well, it is something to think about anyway........

Personally, I think it's funny that this is done under the guise of preventing forrest fires. Anyone can tell you that it takes the high temperatures of a fire to open the Sequoia seed pods.
