Leave to others a heavy responsibility

Where should I begin? My readers must know about my works and philosophy on environment research. A friend of mine had got a solution when I talked to him about environment actions. First he said that this is my personal combat, and that he had his. I think this is a sad conclusion, too easy point of view, but let's continue. He also formulated this brilliant concept and I want to share it with you my readers. In November 2014, we must to begin awarenes-raising on children! Oh this is making me have a tear. If we can wake-up children, the planet will be cleaned of pollution, etc. Yummy.

To resume, this is my concern not his, to help on environmental matter, and it is our children we must ask to take care of the planet. In the mean time, adults are aloud to be devoted to real life, business as usual with none of these concerns. Things are beautiful, yeah. Because nobody likes to keep a waste paper when there is no recycling facility around, anyway our children will fix it all later. Because you need a personal car and it is not you who caused all global warming. And the adults of tomorrow are going to make it right on greenhouse gas.

The adults of tomorrow will not have problems finding the solutions on environmental matter because it is not today. Today it would be complicated to try to find solutions, of course, anyways you don't have time.

Well devoted readers, you may admit that this situation is completely unacceptable. By leaving to someone else the responsibility to fix human's enviro-trace, we figure that it is right to have the same life habits even if they are insane. And over it, the sad work of cleaning the miss we do would be given to our own children! Leaving a dirty job to our next generation is unfair. Reporting later the problems that we all know is unfair.

Giving to someone a responsibility of cleaning our mess is also assuming the adults of tomorrow will be motivated to the task. I ask you today, what is going wrong with your head, thinking that your children will have the real fire for a job of turning the mess you did to into a nice and gentle place to live?

I have always imagined that our civilization is like a big party. By 1 AM, a the house is very dirty but it is still a possible place to have fun and dance. At that moment of the night, let's imagine that the children figure it is time to clean the house. Then the people who are having their party feel they are disturbed. It is also bizarre to see an active dance floor and a janitor moping it. Then at 1AM the party people are disturbed and will ask to the children to come back later, or better tomorrow for this duty. The children insist they have to clean now, and maybe fix something in the house because the party players were so excited that they broke the house a way that the ceiling is about to collapse.

This story is a perfect representation of what I feel as a worker of environment. Our community had figured it is time to make a change in our habits that create pollution, and when we try some action, we are told that we are not realistic, that they may affect the economy, bla bla.

Maybe is it more realistic to act tomorrow, when we can really feel the effects of pollution. Meanwhile the community of environment professional did proof the population that if we wait too much for environnemental actions, the economic and social cost of polluting environment will be dramatic.

All I am writing now does not exist; the reply of earth to our mess is too enormous to be seen by human eyes, so it never will happen... If our society is still blind like that, there will be a problem.

I suggest to begin now. That is why I am planning actions on the next blogs you can read.

Workers and their woe

How would I begin? Progressively doing my experience on work market, there is no doubt that the end of the week is the happiest of all moments in work schedule. All the employees are happy to get off the factory, or any facility they are serving.

Sociology science did understand that the place of work has changed in people's life. Long time ago, people worked to accomplish themselves; the fruit of work was a life matter. Since the Industrial Revolution, people go to the factory « every day » because they have to.

The same sociology thinkers say that the social class of workers are living to make it to the holidays. Since this part of history, off days activities are the new reasons to make life interesting. So I suppose life is interesting two days a week?

It is well documented that by the time of most people were living in farms, life was difficult because no Wallmart was providing cheap goods. Today, this shopping monster is providing ready to break supply that consumers are so happy to buy at low price, thanks Uncle market (that is the name I will give to the market economy).

Well we are asked every day, would we prefer going back to old times life, starving and getting bored in farms with a caring family, or is not it better to go to work every day, produce what is asked for and spend the pay check every two weeks until the couple breaks, tired of all this?

I am answering no to Uncle market. The « F » word I ear every day at job from tired companions is making me sure « everybody hates his job » (ref. movie « Office space »).

It is not normal that every workers have a sad time going to work. Time oppresses people. Days are long and each year goes so fast doing what? Loosing our time for someone else's profit. This not only about money; profit is a matter of money but the value of work is mostly calculated in productivity and in time spent in the work place.

Employees are suffering at work, and the boss knows it when he makes a visit in the production area with a big smile. He is happy of his situation and wants to force a smiley time to the ensemble of employees in front of him. The boss knows his employees are feeling sad all week long, but he also calculates that they have not enough money to have fun outside home on holidays, so they are bored on week-ends. The difference between being sad on working hours and bored on week-ends is making your boss proud of at least providing you revenue to survive. Not being sick, not freezing and starving is maybe enough to have a life plenty of fun.

Please react, this is a work in progress
