We had the wettest august in years, it is way too warm to be winter. And we have the strongest windforces! They're almost hurricanes!

And this is not normal for Holland...

I always believed in global warming, but I think it really is showing right now. The only thing I do about it is taking my bike everywhere, instead of having my parents bring me with the car. And I close my window to keep warmth inside, instead of turning up the heat.

Just too bad that I seem to be one of few who even take such slight measures...

Isn't Holland supposed to be ahead of the world in all things, including the care for the environment? I'm sure you have a very advanced recycling system, what about wind power, isn't it highly implemented in Holland?

Well yeah, we do that! But I wasn't only talking about the big scale.

Of course other countries should also take these kind of measures. But the small scales also counts. If every individual just takes the bike instead of the car once in a while, the total would also amount to a great effect...
At least, I like to believe that.

No not really, not when you remember the bulk of CO2 emission is due to airplane travel, not when there's a couple of billion of people in China and India who drive cars and don't give a rat's ass about the environment. I try to recycle as much as I can, but I know it doesn't make a difference. It's more so I can say "hey, don't look at me, I recycled" when the shit finally hits the fan.
