Post 2-Cameron Black- The Automobile and America till death do us part!

The automobile has been Americas paramour for a century. We drive every where, to the grocery store, to the mall, and even to our neighbor’s house. America's infatuation with the automobile has escalated to an addiction. We refuse to contemplate other forms of transportation and I even found we denounce the existence of global warming.
Most people who deject the concept of global warming say " There really is nothing new about global warming. During the era of the Dinosaurs, from 248 to 65 million years ago, our planet was warmer, the sea level was higher, there were no polar ice, and we had one super-continent called Pangea." Well this is true, conversely it is far from being a valid justification for ignoring our current predicament. Because the warming period in both the prehistoric times and medieval times does not even come close to the severity of what we are experiencing currently.
Just to exemplify the severity of our current predicament take a gander at these ghastly statistics. 2005- the hottest year on record ,ever since the 1970's there has been a 100% increase in intensity and duration of hurricanes , 400,000sq miles of artic sea have melted in the last 30 years threatening numerous inhabitants including the enamored polar bear, 37% is the amount of plant and animal life global warming is estimated to eradicate by 2050, and in 2030 glacier national park will have no more glaciers. These are just a scarce amount of the horrifying afflictions that humans have implicated on earth.
After telling people about these trepid statistics they become stupefied and rebuttal with " well I cant do anything about this, I’m just one measly human." There is no statement that could possibly infuriate me more than this one. Because in the history of mankind there have been more marvelous discoveries and philanthropy done by one man, than any argumentative congregation could have ever done. So what I’m saying is all that it takes is one person to coordinate the first step into making a difference and with time you will have followers.
But now we come to the most horrifying portion of this piece. The part where I tell you what you can do to dissolve the effects of global warming. So Beware if you enjoy emitting green house gases and expediting the apocalypse, by all means don’t read on. First what you can do is take the bus once or twice a week. Shocking I know, but take it from me a person who has been doing this for two months now I can assure you it is not implausible or hazardous. Step two turn faucets and lights off when you leave a room. I know in this epoch it is truly a burden that we have to actually gut up to turn the lights off when they should really be another button on our super remote control. Step three start walking to places that are within a one mile radius. I do it and I have survived the excursions with minimal injuries. Step four be conscious of being green. What I mean by this is buy organic food, buy clothes made in America or composed of organic fibers, and buy environmentally friendly products. Finally recycle.
These are the bare essentials to going green, and I know these tasks are arduous and seem near impossible but if we continue with our automobile infatuation, and people live with no principles, then these are the signs of our inevitable apocalypse. The clues are all around us, there are no morals and values any more all we have to do is morally accept this untimely truth, and begin our new epoch of green living. This could be America’s chance to be a beacon of new innovative way’s of living, and finally tell our old paramour(the automobile) we want a divorce. But now I will leave you with this excerpt from a Navajo adage. Which will hopefully help your pondering minds concoct more theories on how to go green. " Rather than try to control nature, one should try to achieve balance with it. White people deal with flooding on a river by building a dam, while a Navajo would simply move to higher ground."
