I read an article last week in “The Gazette”, a local English paper here in Montreal Canada. It was titled “Time is running out” and was written by Peter G. Brown. He is a professor in school of Environment at McGill University. Professor Brown emphasized on fact that “Our survival requires that we fix global warming now and is arguing that very stability of our civilization is at stake if we don’t address problem of substantial climate change”. We thank you Professor Brown for enlightening us of facts of our time.

That is all very well to say, but who really cares enough to listen? I believe no one!

According to Professor Brown “it might take between 500 to 1000 years for a very substantial rise in sea-level to occur, perhaps by 10 meters within that time”. That is not too much time in terms of geological years, but in human life span, well, it seems like an eternity! I do feel majority of us do not care because we think we will not be alive to suffer consequences.

That is a response from many ‘So-Called’ responsible human beings like you and I, and if governments do not seem to care, what can we do as individuals? Not a great deal if we place our priority upon having a six pack of beer and watching hockey or a football game. Tomorrow is just another day and we are counting days until we die and become another mere statistic which proves fact that we have passed through this plane again!!! It is about time that we as a human race waken up and start to see things in light of reality!

We are too preoccupied with what is going on in world watching nuclear arsenal growth in Iraq. However, we do not realize or even care to acknowledge fact that we are simply waiting to suffocate from a lack of Oxygen in atmosphere due to fact that we are already polluting this planet and cutting down trees just to see a bag full of publicity every week on our doorstep, telling us what is on special in stores this week. That is acceptable for many of us and it doesn’t seem to be priority of any government who seem to just sit back and accept all pollution inflicted upon us by Major Corporations, and so on from other different factors.

Well, in such cases we can give a closed eye on a few things when it comes to many politicians. Why not after getting so many donations and lobbying being poured upon them, just for them to be re-elected? We are all going to die anyway, so why not throw a nuclear war? We won’t feel a thing! It is easier and less painful than having an ocean flooding upon us and suffocating us under all water. With these facts in mind, isn’t it about time that we waken up and start looking at life from a new perspective and with a new attitude?

When we look at our politicians many of them are usually old, and really, why would they care about our environment? They will be dead within few years and they won’t be subject of pain and suffering when environment becomes totally unstable, so much that it’s unable to sustain itself and our lives here. If you believe this then think again. You are seriously misled!

In reality, whether you believe this or not, it does not matter. In universal scale of things, our real purpose on this earth plane is to grow and evolve at a soul level, and yes, we are ALL souls and we are all subjected to law of Karma. We come here to this plane lifetime after lifetime in order to gain worldly experiences that provide us with our growth. Every single politician, corporate head, and any other decision maker that has contributed towards destruction of this planet at any point in time, will all be back here to live during that moment of destruction. This will be cause of their own actions in their previous lifetimes. This will be case, regardless if it was 20 years, 500 years and even 1000 years later. This might sound severe, and why is this so? Well, it is just not for fun of it, or for punishment, it is experience that is required by their soul in order for it to evolve beyond awful deeds in its past experiences.

Karma deals with law of cause and effect. Everything that happens to us (effect) has had a previous cause. The evolution of karmic law means that we can be master of our own destiny. Your karmic lessons in life reflect qualities that you either lack, or are weak in and are those hindering your success. They indicate experiences or obligations that you have avoided, or were not even aware of, from which you managed to escape in some past life. They now crop up in your present life as obstacles to your success, unless you make a conscious effort to conquer them. Every karmic debt you accumulate in this lifetime will be carried over to next lifetime in order for soul to master its own evolution. Perhaps you don’t believe in Karma but considering sorry state of human race, isn’t it about time you investigated some other alternatives to truth of our existence here?

What happened to all those summits where those politicians who stood posing for their famous pictures where they are photographed all together and smiling at end of summits? Did anything change after those meetings? Very little changes happened and any which did occur were probably for those things which bear less importance and do not have any effect on any Corporations.

Polluting our planet and someone building a nuclear bomb is practically same thing. In both ends we are going to die. One is in slow motion and other is faster. Which one do you choose? Make up your mind, are you choosing death number 1 or death number 2. Well death number 2 is faster and easier than first one. Don’t you agree?

But along comes a New York waste company and a town in California who want me to do something else with my dirty diapers. Like cover my roof with them. Or walk on them. Or build a doghouse with them, perhaps.

Does this sound nuts? Well, it's not. In fact, this project just won world's top happiness award: 2003 Happy Guy Award (www.The HappyGuy.com).

A few months ago, we lived in a "vertical community". When The Little Lady was born, we wanted to expand our home to make room for her, but our neighbors below objected to us digging a basement, and a front porch would have blocked hall. So we opted to move out to country, and with that move we had to sacrifice diaper service and any environmental high ground we could claim.

Yes, we became what we had always wanted to avoid being: diaper-dumpers.

If you have never had children, you may not realize how much a little child can dispose of. In olden days, a couple would have a dozen kids, give or take a few. In these modern times of disposable diapers that just is not possible – diapers from first child take up more place on this planet than several dozen siblings would.
