Marilyn at Serendipity posted this today and it so exactly matches my feelings I decided to reblog.
Vote for smart people, vote for people who care. Vote for people who believe climate change is real. Do what you can, don’t think that one person’s actions won’t matter.

Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008.
We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company.
I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and a "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania.

Thanks for the reblog. I find it disheartening that we have made so little progress in nearly 50 years of Earth Days. Garry covered the first Earth Day as a young reporter. It was big news. It was important. Now, it’s just another one of those nearly forgotten days on the calendar. Some people are more aware of the problems — while just as many refuse to even acknowledge that there ARE any problems.
The air is a little cleaner — in a few places. We have (mostly) stopped pouring sewage into our estuaries and oceans … but not by any means universally. Meanwhile, we’ve invented so many new ways to assault the earth.
I read a book recently which posited that if human being lived longer — Methuselah long — we’d care more about our planet because we’d still be here to see the results of what we have done. It’s a thought!

It is a thought and we are living longer than previous generations but it’s hard to make changes when we elect people either don’t believe in climate change or just use it as a politcal football.
