A New Look

We as a people have never seemed to care much for our planet, at least from where I stand. It wasn’t until very recently that we even noticed that we had an effect on our environment. Now as an American I tend to pay more attention to what happens here, as opposed to in other places, but that doesn’t mean that other countries aren’t just as good at making messes as we are. I just don’t see or hear much about from my little corner of the Northwest.

Over the next few weeks or months (it really depends on how carried a way I get) I’m going to do my very best to explain the problem as I see it and in no uncertain terms tell you, the reader, what I see as solutions. I want to point out that am not a scientist; I don’t have formal training in any scientific discipline. I do on the other hand have a knack for research, an uncanny ability simplify complicated information and I have no fear of asking the “stupid” questions. I understand that it is often times hard to get a sense of tone when reading so I’m going to give you a key.

ALL CAPS = that’s right I’m yelling

Italics = sarcasm, I’m very sarcastic by nature, and a lot what I’m going to write about is so damn ridiculous that it might pour out in abundance

                “Quotes”= quotes, I’m going to do my level best not take things out of context, I hate that so I’m going to try very hard not to do it.

                Really Big and colored= what I think you should really pay attention to, there may be a test later.

Example: its 2013 and the trucks we manufacture and drive, that at best get 25 miles to the gallon*? That makes complete sense

*not a researched fact just an example
