What will we do if nothing happens?

I think after this, if it doesn’t happen, I'm back to wantin’ to change the world!

I remember when I was a little girl and I saw my mom spraying goops of hairspray on and it fillin' the whole bathroom and it flying out the window..and I’d say, "Mom, where is all that hairspray going? Is that not going to kill the birds?"

Then dad 'd be pouring something yeuk down the sink and I'd say, "Dad, where is all that yeuk going, is it going to end up in the ocean and kill all the fish?"

So today I was up at the first grade school concert. My little boy was singing on stage with 5 other first grade classes.

They sang about the earth and how they pledged to protect it, how they wanted to clean it and see the birds fly and the grass grow. They sang about all things green and about how rich nature was.

We need to do a little more than call out,  "The Sky is Falling" , like Chicken Licken and the gang.

Let's identify the fox.  Let’s ask what has prompted this dire response from Mother Earth.

My little son said on the way home from the concert, "Mom, I know why the bird flu is coming, Nature is so stressed out over what we have done to the earth, she wants to wipe it all out and start all over again."

Is that what we want?

Are we willing to trade our luxuries and excesses on our children’s and Grandchildren’s inheritance? Do we want to party in the streets while looking the other way?
