Where Is Conscious Leadership When It Comes To Protecting The Environment?

With you.

If not, then with who?It amazes me how people see no connection or consequences to their actions, particularly when it comes to the environment. There are plenty of examples everyday and I just stumbled upon this Reuters article.Mercury-tainted fish found widely in U.S. streams

If you don't want to read the article, I'll cut to the chase: "Scientists have detected mercury contamination in every one of hundreds of fish sampled from 291 freshwater streams..."Scary! Where is our collective outrage and the environmental stewardship and leadership we need to protect the environment? If we don't have a safe and livable planet, where will we live?

Okay global warming can be overwhelming but we all have everyday smaller examples where we can do something. And we don't.

The other day I saw someone throw a wrapper out the window while driving on the highway. You have to be kidding me, I thought as the wrapper flew by me. I put my hand on the horn but did that effect this guy driving 70 miles an hour? Is this what the world has come to - we have no sense of the impact we have on anyone or anything outside meeting our own needs? Where is the accountability or responsibility to care for others, let alone the planet?

I implore you to draw on our own leadership and get involved and do what you can in your community or circle of influence. What can you do?
