Global Warming

“Insensitivity happens by choice… we become insensitive only because we choose not to care.”


GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is the most serious ecological problem, not to mention other ecological problems like air and sea pollution, extinction of many animal species, acid rains and many other. Mother Earth has become very vulnerable and her vulnerable condition makes us vulnerable too. Global warming has already caused serious climate changes, and climate changes together with air pollution are responsible for many diseases and of course deaths.

And although there are so many problems that are already showing their devastating potential, appropriate action is nowhere to be seen. There are some small actions but what is really required is one huge action on global scale that would include most of the world’s population. Small-scaled actions are only good on certain areas and have little or none effect on global situation.
Some scientists say it’s maybe all over as we failed to make the right move at the right time, but it’s still not too late, if not for removing problems then at least to try stopping them from further development. Unfortunately this kind of action is almost impossible since many people still lack ecological awareness thinking only how to satisfy their needs, and not the needs of complete mankind.


Fossil fuels mainly responsible for global warming are still dominant energy source and renewable energy sources are really thing of the future. What future? If this trend continues what kind of future will this be? Do we really have to get ourselves on urge of extinction in order to know what to do next or at least once humanity can react while is still time? Unfortunately humanity doesn’t think enough of future generations as they have right to inherit mother Earth as strong and beautiful mother and not like some old woman who’s days are numbered. We simply don’t have the right to take from our descendants something that belongs to them as much as it belong to us.


Profit and economy are still much more significant in eyes of many than ecology which is to them only something some crazy ecologists blubber about, something that they shouldn’t worried about as they consider themselves supreme beings forgetting that Earth was there long before humans become dominant force on planet.


We should really be guardians of our planet putting our efforts in order to preserve all life on planet and we’re doing complete opposite by not only endangering lots of animal species but endangering our species too.

It is not yet a hopeless case; we could still do something to make our world a better place to live in… It will be good to familiarize our self with the major problems of our ecosystem, so we would be aware, not only of our actions but to what is going on with our surroundings as well.

I am a Working Mom

Hello World! I'm finally here. Everything is going to be fine. You'll see.

This is my first blog post. Ever. This is also the first publicly available piece of writing I've ever created. The pressure is on. I've actually put off writing this post for nearly three weeks now. It's not that I didn't want to post, but I felt that a first post needed to have some sort of special significance or insight. There are many things I plan to write about, and hopefully they will live up to the name of this blog and prove insightful and helpful to people in many of my various areas of interest. However, for my first post I want to start with an all encompassing post that doesn't necessarily dive right into the gory details of being a working mom.

Reality for many of us working moms is having too much to do and not enough time in which to do it. I remember all too well trying to work outside the home plus be a wife and mother. Getting up so early in the morning, getting the school-age children ready school, plus trying to get myself ready for the work day. They say that the first half hour of the day sets the tone for the rest of the day. I remember the tone being set for stress and anger. Then going to work, dealing with the pressure and demands of the workplace, trying to perform my duties and yet thinking about and missing my children.

At the end of the workday, the home workday would just begin. Helping the kids get homework started, everyone being hungry and wanting dinner now, getting the dishes done, laundry started, facilitating fights between the kids. Add to the fun, time with my husband, relationships with family and friends, grocery shopping, paying bills, illnesses, transporting kids to and from sporting or after school events and the result was often one tired, stressed, burned out mom. Even going into the bathroom as a safe haven of solitude and silence did not work -- they always found me.

I hope you've enjoyed my first post. I've certainly enjoyed writing it. Check back again soon for another completely random sample of the things rattling around in my head. Hopefully something cool will pop out.
