a graying cause


 

to be educated, to be inquisitive is to be exposed

exposed to the detriment, exposed to the dangers

the dangers of our own habits that feel so comfortable

yet comfort is the problem

it seems as if every action, every thing is harmful.

the world around us is suffering, making the air we breathe toxic and the knowledge of such culpability heavier to digest

is awareness the real answer, when action is the solution?

our comfortable living causes this distress, it's undeniable. but these clear lines are blurred by denial.

we must evolve from friction to action.

what can we do? what can be done to save this graying sense of green?
