Take Action For Frogs: Your Inconvenient Truth

At this moment of planetary potential pandemic flu hitting the United States, and watching how all of humans' and Earth's man-made challenges are directly, shockingly, and (shouldn't be so) surprisingly inter-related, a potential, sensible, scalable solution can be found in a reset of how we treat ourselves in harmony with nature, not in some type of sick lose-lose competition -- especially again and again, from the accurately foretelling movie An Inconvenient Truth to this more recent article, regarding -- IF we will have the will to change -- our green friends the frogs. There is a powerful, even tangibly edu-taining scene in the movie showing an animated frog who senses a hot flash and jumps away, BUT if the heat is increased gradually, is lulled into false confidence, laziness, or whatever inertia until it is too late for survival -- and then the only hope is that an outside force for good would have to rapidly intervene to rescue the frog and snap it into action elsewhere. Sound too familiar, people?

For your own personal survival, if not for a higher calling, take action, now, on the we, not just the me (so to speak). Ribbitt! And seriously, thanks. When scientists almost universally agree that there is a CO2 in the atmosphere exponentially-rising emergency, but mass communications are manipulated so that more than half the public relations issued questions the legitimacy of the climate change crisis, even if you are skeptical (hopefully not) about the severity of global warming, the literal bottom line in business and more broadly, personal and family survival, is trust your gut, your inner voice that whatever the specific triggers, it is beyond doubt now that mass selfishness on the part of more and more humans mis-using limited resources is definitely setting in motion flus and other events that cannot be restrained if we together do not rethink the whats of life -- and definitely the hows.

This is a time for unity, for caring, for hope through faith. This can also be, around those enduring values, a time of real sustainable income-generating, doing well by doing good, exponentially green business and job opportunities. As the great New York Yankees baseball legend Yogi Berra said, "When there is a fork in the road, take it." Literally, let us pray for answers the only way they will work, going forward -- together.
