Awareness + Action on May 5,2012

Connect the dots. (www.350.org.)

An international/global day of activism to bring awareness to  plight of the climate change.  The earth will  remain alive, but will it be conducive to house its occupants?

(350 is the tipping point for too much carbon dioxide... we are currently at 390...... please go to the website for more in-depth scientific explanation)

My health seems to mimic the Vermont spring.  Some days it soars toward strong healing; other days it retreats back to listless, weak and vulnerable.

My intention is stronger though..... and I plan on attending Vermont's main "dot" in Waitsfield, 2.1/2 hours away.  Here in Vermont, Hurricane Irene showed her wrath by  intense flooding, washing away covered bridges hundred(s) of years old and decimated housing and road.


Please go to the website and see how the international community is responding with their own "connect the dots".  It's quite inspiring. And please check out where the closest event to you is happening..... so that "connecting the dots" becomes personal......as well as political...... because fomenting change in our entrenched  Capitalist country, of  oil subsidies, and unfair access  (legalized corruption)  to those who make policy in our system, lax enforcement, oversight  and erosion of environmental laws  needs to come from the People.  The tipping point is past.
(and I  do not include the "personhood" of a corporation!)

This peril is the legacy we will leave  our children and grandchildren............ and that unto itself should lead you to take an active role in supporting democracy in action.
