How much do we really care about the environment?

I had a mini moment of awakening yesterday..

Every time there is an earthquake, a war, a volcanic eruption, a natural or unnatural disaster which affects human beings we all get our wallets out to help.. Several major organisations promise Dollar for Dollar contributions..

I am surrounded by vegetarians (those who can't eat meat cuz they can't bear the thought of an animal being killed!), by people who have pets (and thus claim they love animals), by people like me (that think we are doing enough by recycling milk bottles).. People who have turned their nose up and blamed BP for one of the greatest Oil Spill in history.. And all along we have been watching the news and shaking our heads saying BP should be made to pay...

However it never occurred to me until yesterday that if we really cared about the environment we would all be sharing the blame..

Luv
