oil spill

I know it'll be something about PMS or something, but I can't believe how close this world is to destruction and no one cares. I mean, sure there are a few groups here and there that care, but there are no real hard time movements. Some people don't even think we're in trouble. This latest oil spill is one more hit our oceans can't afford to take. The sea life is essential to our own survival. The fact is that we've been unable to find any other source of water on any other planet, what we have on Earth is corrupting and we have already run into many cases were there just isn't enough to get around. Our normal dumping and polluting of the ocean is bad enough, a painful attack lasting many years, but now we've upped the speed of this destruction.
This isn't the only thing, ask anyone, everyone knows that something is going to happen. Global warming, freaky weather, acid rain, ozone layer. Yet we don't stop. We don't stop.
Why doesn't anyone care?
We're just to content, it's like smoking cigs. There isn't anything you can see right this second, and if there is, it's been there for a while. Nothing seems to change quickly so you get used to the little changes here and there. No one says anything when a tooth turns black, a few wrinkles here and there. Then boom, you've got cancer and it's too late to do anything about it! Well wake up people, the world has cancer, and if we don't do something, anything, it's going to die.
Of course I look at my own life and wonder why I have the right to write this? I drink from plastic bottles, create a ton of waste and generally take advantage of the soft life I have available due to the carbon footprint I'm leaving. And thinking of changing almost seems un worth it because what difference will it make? That's the problem, our hippie grandparents had it right, we can make a difference. Can't we?
