I am choosing to have Hope, today.

I don't talk about this much, because, frankly, I don't know enough and also the thought of being preachy makes me cringe, especially since I am not exactly living sustainably myself.

When it finally sank in just how screwed the world is, I decided to go back to uni to learn Stuff. This semester both my units have been about sustainability, and the more I learn the more I can't believe that most of us are going about our lives ignorant of such frightening facts like the world currently using 20% more resources than it actually has.

I went to a lecture by Carmen Lawrence a few weeks ago, who said that politicians only make short term, unscary decisions, because they reckon they have to cling to power in order to be able to enact any policies at all.

I am trying to keep faith with Rudd, but he's not making it easy. If Obama's for real, my god, what can't the world do?


President-elect Obama - "a new chapter of American leadership on climate change."

(no subject)

We are watching the Thunderbirds movie while we have (had) dinner. There is a running gag making fun of an "ugly" woman. I am not impressed.

However, Sophia Myles plays Lady Penelope, and she is awesome, so I am still watching.
