Our Crazy Weather
It’s April 16 but it might as well be January 16. I take that back. In January the weather was mild. Seems as though the seasons have shifted. Last summer didn’t want to end. Autumn – well – autumn is never long enough. It’s everybody’s favourite season. Even after the leaves are gone, there is still something magical about autumn. Winter didn’t start until over half-way through January. Now it’s officially spring but you could have fooled me.
Still, I keep hearing about the warming of the planet. Could be true. The earth is ever changing. It just doesn’t remain the same. Whether we, as people, had anything to do with it is still up in the air. Personally, I think it was changing anyway. That doesn’t excuse our smelly air or dirty rivers and lakes. People are pigs. It’s just so easy to throw stuff in the water. Usually it sinks to the floor of the lake and is gone from sight. Meanwhile, the garbage piles up. People are pigs. While walking one morning, I saw one man, when he’d finished with his coffee, just throw the styrofoam cup on the lawn. I saw him. I yelled at him to pick it up and put it in the trash bin, which was a couple of feet from the lazy slob.
Industries are pigs. They’d rather just dump their crap into the lakes and rivers rather than clean it up and disposing of it in a proper way. They’d rather spew their crap in the air rather than clean the waste before realeasing it into the atmosphere. That takes money. They don’t want to spend the money. I’d like to see some heavy fines put into place. Enough is enough. We want to take back our rivers, lakes, cities, highways and biways. As long as there are slobs around, that can’t happen.
