jason mraz Environment sustainability trees he is the man

A QUOTE

I’ve been honestly doing everything I can at home to reduce my emissions and live carbon neutral and sustainably. Then also on our tours, we’re looking into everything we can to get on bio fuels, and we’re starting to plant trees all over the world. So everywhere we stop on tour, we’re going to be planting trees, and that’ll be something. We can watch these trees grow year after year and add more trees as we do that. I felt I needed to be doing something to take responsibility for how much carbon I emit just through my job.

Is it just me or is it ridiculous when people claim Obama only is rejecting the permit for Keystone XL in order to maintain the environmentalists’ votes? Clearly, Big Oil has a stronger arm in Obama’s election. Plus, even if Obama allowed KXL, all the environmentalists would grudgingly vote for him, knowing the environment stands less of a chance with any of the Republican candidates in office.

Why We Need to Stop the Keystone XL Pipeline

“[It] would be another dirty needle feeding America’s fossil fuel addiction,” Jamie Henn, spokesperson with Tar Sands Action, which organized the protests, and co-founder of climate organization 350.org, told mongabay.com last month. “The pipeline would carry tar sands oil from Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way, it would cross the Ogallala Aquifer, risking an oil spill over one of our largest sources of fresh drinking water and the source of 30 percent of the irrigation water for America’s crops. […] for the climate. Politically, the pipeline is also a bad call: it’s a hand out to Big Oil and people like the Koch Brothers who have consistently used their profits to corrupt our political system.”

And the conservatives, of course, never gave a shit in the first place, because their entire ideology is selfish short-term interest and God’s plan and so forth. And so the problem became this cancer that you know is growing inside you but you decide you’re just not going to think about.
