When you’ve made the decision to, oh, say, buy a new car, and as you consider a specific model, what do you suddenly see everywhere? That model car. At least that’s how it seems to have occurred for me. I know that there’s not a sudden increase in those cars sent to follow my every move and ensure they’re consistently in my thoughts, but nevertheless, i simply see, or ‘consiously’ see, more.
And that’s what I’m starting to notice in the trends of addressing ecological and energy issues. I’m seeing far more awareness then I recall seeing before I myself started to become more educated.
I hope it’s not just another case of seeing more of what you’re more aware of, but that’s it’s an actual honest trend. In the news, on the roads and even in an internal communications meeting at work today, the environment came up more then once. Damn, that felt good. And I don’t recall it being raised in the past, regardless of my own ignorance at the time.
Perhaps our collective awareness and intention to make a change is starting to snowball.
