Think Glocal

Think Glocal is a little catch phrase that has been around for a while. It implies that; to have change at a global level we need to have local initatives. It really gives me hope to see the entire world come together to help Haiti. It is these global communities that are amazing.

There are probably very few places in the world that havent heard of the situation in Haiti. Armies of people are voluntarily helping out a neighbour in need. Truly these people are our neighbours as if they lived in the house next door.One day we may need sugar and they will be there for us. (ecpesially if its sugar) Imagine, if we can have such a movement for a cause in so little time, the potential we have for other causes.

If we can get the world to participate and donate millions of dollars and help to one country then why cant we get the ball really moving on other subjects. Its really about what people care about. I dont know why the world has yet to care about the environment clearly we all know its a problem but still changes are so small. Imagine as catastrophe becomes more common due to environmental changes... what will we do then? We cant send the US army to every country at once. I think that the global community needs to identify the environment as an issue and maybe we can have the same kind of aid initiatives and really make some changes. Because,clearly, we are able.
