Fuel and Stuff
Ever been at a party and everyone was crowded around the smart bloke / girl—he / she spouting something which didn’t sound quite right but nobody dared contest—and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, someone you had never seen before stepped forward and laughed out loud?
“What?” the angered centre of the party would say.
And the unknown would say something like, “Well, nice speech, but I happen to think that’s a load of rubbish, mate!”
The horror!
So that’s what I felt like when I saw this post.
It’s refreshing to see a company being honest and stepping forward, speaking their mind, not the mind of the collective business world who are trying to brush the big problems under the global carpet.
And the post makes many good points. Like the writer, I too have fond memories of wood fires, creating unnecessary ozone attacking gases and not particularly caring (I mean…who knew it might be as big an issue as it turned out to be?). Because, if we are all going to stop pretending for a second, that is normal behaviour. Nobody has ever been able to predict the problems that would surface in the future. But what makes the human race—I hope—is our consciousness: in that we genuinely are aware, and we do want to change. Amazing as the Dinosaurs were, they made a mess of their race brilliantly. Their brains were, by all accounts, so small that not only did they not see their end until it was far too late, but when the end happened they probably all smiled at each other and said in their own way “Oh, what’s happening here?! This is exciting!”
