Along the lines of my prior post about capitalizing on "Green" awareness, while home last night, listening to the news encompass everything from the political race to the FLDS compound in Texas, my mind wandered through some of the big "scares" of the last few years, and it came to a screeching halt on the Avian Bird Flu. Whatever happened to that, anyway? There was loads of press and visibility around this issue a couple of years ago, and most of the articles were very bleak and gloomy. And although the issue remains one of great concern within the medical community, and there's plenty of monitoring and tracking of the situation ongoing, there's no media coverage. Nobody's talking about it any more in public forums.
I have to admit that it's things like this that make it easier to understand how some of my extended family scoffs at the global warming concerns. With so many cries of "wolf", how does one know the difference between a false alarm and a real threat?
