Green

I think we should all be a little more aware of our environment. God gave us this beautiful land and we have ruined a lot of it.
It is true that we need to provide facilities to function.
Are all of the really necessary though?
Example: Is it really necessary to have restaurants and stores open 24 hours a day?
No it is not.
But we like to have that convenience. That is all it is. It is just a convenience.
I cannot lie. I do go to Meijer sometimes late at night. Sometimes I go to these said 24 hour restaurants. So I am not saying I am perfect. (No one is perfect. If we lived in a world of perfection it would be quite boring.)
I am just saying that we over use our resources. In a sense we are killing the planet slowly but surely.
Driving is another thing.
If I can walk or ride my bike somewhere within a reasonable distance I will.
I try not to take advantage of my car.
If I could get by without driving at all, I would be happy.
If I could walk or ride my bike everywhere, I would be okay with that.
I cannot do that in Michigan though.
At least I cannot do it now.
I am not going to be riding my bike at 1 or 2 in the morning when I get off work.
I am not going to wake up extra early to ride my bike 20 miles to class. No sir.
It is just I like riding or walking when I can.
It gives me exercise.
It gives me semi fresh air.
It helps the environment.
It does not help a lot but it all adds up in the end.
Just like driving adds up in the end. All of that gas in the air is not good.
I wish everyone had the same thought process of me so this world was a cleaner place to live.
When I was riding my bike to work today, I saw several pieces of garbage on the ground. If I had somewhere to put it, I would have picked it up and thrown it away. It is disgusting how much people litter though.
I do not understand how people can just leave trash around like that.
You see there are these things called trash bags.
They are glorious.
When you are done with your trash you can put it in the trash bag. At the end of the week, you can give your trash to the garbage truck and it will all be taken care of.
*Sigh*
Well that is my rant for the day. Good night everyone!
