From your lips to God’s ears! I certainly hope so.

It’s easy to become despondent looking at world affairs and the wreckage we leave in the wake of consumption.

Cheap solar energy would put to rest my fears.
Water supplies are a real concern in developing countries.

Drinking water is highly contaminated, only the rich can afford bottled water. Waterborne diseases are making a comeback.
Tuberculosis is on the rise, urban areas with polluted air are jam packed, with poor sewage disposal.

Birth defects are on the rise. Govts are too busy stealing and simply don’t care.

Here in the west, there are efforts and awareness is rising. Not so in poor countries where majority of humankind is concentrated.
