No problem can be solved....

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. - Albert Einstein -

Well, this was the quote haunting my mind after coming out of an “avant première” of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”. Yep, I was one of the first ones to see the movie together with my 14 year old son here in Luxembourg….can you imagine? I can’t believe I am living in the heart of Europe and that it took so long to bring this movie over here! But well, finally I saw it, so what?!

It really impressed me and I almost cried at the end…no, not of frustration, nor fear, more because somehow it touched me to see that we are finally talking about it. My husband didn’t want to come with me because he was afraid of getting even more frustrated about the whole issue which is already making him sick. I was happy to feel that the awareness is growing and proud about taking my son with me. I first thought it would perhaps frighten him to death but then I decided to take him with me anyway, planing to talk about it with him afterwards and I was astonished about his reaction. It didn’t take his sleep away but he wasn’t indifferent to the theme at all. He asked me a lot of questions…including the one I was afraid to hear: Why are we only reacting to this issue now??? Hm, boy, sorry, I believe it is a question of consciousness…like the quote up there…and this is exactly that, what makes me happy…we are changing…

…but we still need to change our habits, put more pressure on car industries and others…saying no to plastic bags, basically saying no to plastic in general, when possible, turn off the lights when not needed, buy hybrid cars if we can afford them…well, as you see, there’s still a lot to do…
