shadowkat1.Watching the BBC's "Seven Worlds One Planet" -- which is kind of awe-inspiring, although it doesn't make me like humans all that much. Also makes me want to pour more funds into Environmental Defense Fund and Nature Conservancy.
However, there are bits here and there, showing how people are attempting to make things better. How conservation efforts - made it possible to tell the story of a mother puma hunting to feed her young.
I really need to see more positive things about humanity -- things humans do that further others and not just themselves.
We all have our pet causes, I suspect. Mine is increasingly becoming climate change and environmental protection. In part, because I work with and procure environmental engineering services and I know how much of state and federal capital funds go towards the environment (close to nothing). The State and Federal Government spends more money on locomotives, stair wells, elevators, roads, tunnels, bridges, laying down tracks, and laying cable for wifi than it does on environmental remediation, clean-up, and abatement, not to mention protection. It sickens me. It should sicken you too.
2. It's been suggested to me that I'm cranky because I'm exhausted and not getting enough sleep. Possible. I've been averaging between 4-5 hours a night at the moment.
I think I might have gotten six last night, and seven yesterday, so that's not bad.
Really need to get to bed by 10, and asleep by 11. As opposed to bed by 11 and asleep by 12 or 1, wake up at 2:30, then back to sleep. Wake up at 5:45 am, slug off to work.
