I do not want to be the generation that saw the last Polar Bear drown because there is no more ice on the North Pole.
I do not want to be the generation that saw the last snow melt on the Kilimanjaro
I do not want to be the generation that had a White Christmas
I do not want to be the generation that used up the last drop of oil
I do not want to be the generation that eat the last fish that was not sick because of the Plastic Soup in the oceans
I do not want to be the generation that allowed millions of people to die because changing climate destroyed their farmlands

But I am pretty sure I am.

I do not know what I can do to stop the climate change en make the world cleaner. I know I do the best I can in my own environment to be a good steward. I get electricity from our windmill. I try not to use plastic. I try not to use chemicals that will polute the water. I seperate my garbage. I try to avoid using the car as much as possible. I eat organic food. I deminish the amount of meat I eat - eat vegetarian at least once a week.

But I know that it is not enough. Last weak I had a product and it was totally not clear what the package was made from, and how I could recycle this package. So I wrote to the company to ask them about this and about their waste. To my surprise I got an answer! And a basket of their produce (I like to receive gifts, but I can really not understand what this has to do with how they manage their responsibilities as a producer).

And this morning I looked around in my house. I thought: I could e-mail each company of which I use products and ask them how they produce them. What are they doing about the environment.

And then I thougt: one e-mail will not make a company turn green. But what if millions of people send an e-mail?

So: how about it, women of the world? Look around your house, your kitchen, your bathroom, your car. You must be buying from hundreds of companies. Is it possible that you take 1 hour (just 1!) and write an e-mail to as much companies as you can of which you use products, shops in which you buy products, banks that have your money, your government.

In december there will be a climate conference in Copenhagen. I am afraid that this meeting will decide upon our future of the world.

IT IS NOW OR NEVER!
