And you’re right, Jo. People just don’t care enough, or are too blind or stupid to see what’s happening.

But Helen, we can only do what we can as individuals. If all right-thinking people try their best it must make a difference, however small.

It’s happening all over the world. He’s just in a position to implement laws that impact on a vast number of people.

I’ve always tried to live lightly on the planet but one individual can’t make much of an impact and the despoilers have the ability to do so much damage so quickly.

I very much doubt that history will be kind to Bush much as he likes to think it will be.

Now, his last, disasterous final stroke is enough to make thoughts of assassination pleasant. Trouble is there is so little we can do to stop such rape. I support World Wildlife Fund to the best of my ability, but I feel like a lone voice crying in the wilderness. There just aren’t enough people who give a damn.

Mind you years ago I was much the same, it wasn’t until conservationists made films which were shown on TV that it made me sit up and take notice. Hopefully a lot of others did too.

Its not just greed Satima, they just don’t realise or give a damn anyway.

Climate change and the abuse of the world’s resources have been obvious to any thinking person for three or four decades (remember Rachel Carson, anyone?) but our leaders are still blinded by greed and haven’t learnt a thing.

Yes, let’s all weep.
