Our future, yea or nay?

Reading Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, which I wish I had read decades ago. It may have made a huge difference in what I did or didn’t do when I was with the Board of Health and many other endeavors. Here we are now. Her message(s) did create change, unsustainable, unfortunately. The book was published in 1962. We have learned since then that what you do to your genes lives out to at least 4 generations. Why are we so ill now? Could it be in part related to the ubiquitous damage to our future health done then. Then add into the mix, what we have done in different and enhanced way to add to the damage since? I don’t know. I just can’t fathom why we continue to destroy our selves, our kids, our grandkids we love so much. We know the answers, the cause and effect. Why do we ignore them? I could question this ad nauseam, and the whys. Follow the money is one that comes to mind…and I will leave it there. The Great Holidays are upon us creating Joy, love, reflection, remembering, sharing, sometimes sadness, and great expectations for the New Year which is only a few weeks away. Do you think we can get out of the complacency, denial, status quo, kicking the can down the road, and get something sustainable done to change this so we can have a healthy and robust future? Lip service won’t cut it, action may. Your thoughts–
