Well.. Jan, I can't speak for any one else but, I appreciate your efforts in making owner planet a better place to live, and I'm sure other do too!! Your contribution, large or small, does make a difference!!!
It is hard to see friends and loved ones turning a blind eye to the problems we will all face in the near future. I deal with it every day!! My brother makes good money and pays his eletric bill every month, on time, thus, he says he is entitled to its use, wasteful or not. My Uncle says, "These problems won't affect me, I won't be alive to see it!!" Mean while, his stepson is going to college and taking Environmental Science courses, not because he wants to, but because he knows he has to!! Wise for his years!!
If not for your husband, do it for your kids, and grandkids! They may not see the effects of your efforts right away but at least they'll know you're in there fighting for their future, and maybe it will even inspire them to do the same!!
"Your contribution, large or small, does make a difference in the air I breath, and the water I drink, and I do thank you for it!!!"
Blessings, Snow Crow
