"Corporate Cooperation; Corporate Chaos"
We wanted to have a Sunday to honor our high school graduates and to have some time to think about their future and at the same time to do something about ecology and saving the earth so that the future they have will come with the same possibilities as our futures have had.
Problems that we face today are large and have taken years to build up. The economic recession made us realize the interconnectedness of the financial world. When there are economic issues in Europe or South America those problems impact us here in the United States.
When the devastation happened in Japan we realized how the floating of the cloud of radioactive material would come across the ocean and to us. We are on a small planet and some have called it a global village.
The problems are created by all of us neglecting what we should have seen. We realize we cannot throw things away because there is no "away". We have made major improvements in our world. The technology is beyond anything we would have imagined, but we have a long way to go to revitalize the earth and make sure it will be a safe place for our grandchildren and their children.
Our solutions are corporate and as we think about the high school youth who are moving forward with their lives it is appropriate for us to think about the future of the world they will inherit.
There is nothing we can stop if we fail to realize its danger, but there is nothing we cannot do or change once we see the problem and are prepared to address it.
Ecology and graduation are parts of the same challenge. Moving on and making sure our world is safe awakens us to the task.
What are your thoughts about "global warming"; about the importance of creating our future; and about working together as a world community?
