Copenhagen

Not the agreement that was hoped for. A weak Accord that was noted only, not accepted. A step in the right direction, I suppose, but the gap between the warnings given by scientists and the action committed to by politicians is a little scary.

And so I ask myself again: what can I do about this? I consistently make excuses along the lines of: I’m a renter, I can’t improve the energy efficiency of my home; I already drive only rarely, cycling to work most days; I have to do something to earn a dollar, so I can’t devote myself to this cause full-time. The list of excuses covers easily every possible avenue of action.

I really think I need to go back to the drawing board on this one.
