I was just walking down the street and this young guy asked me if I had ten minutes to save the environment. Ten minutes?! That's all it takes?! I said, "No," because either I didn't think he could possibly be serious or because I am a callous self-obsessed person (or just a burned out liberal). I think he needs to rephrase the question. Either he suffers from grandiose thinking that he's projecting onto people passing by, or there is something that he knows that government and policy makers haven't figured out, yet. After years of program and recovery from co-dependency, I take issue with the concept of "saving" anything or anybody, except maybe, myself. OK, maybe I do feel a little guilty, but don't I get any kudos for recycling? It's just really tiring being Conscious. Maybe I could return and just help him out with his language and suggest he say, "Do you have ten minutes to find out what you can do to petition Company X who blah, blah, blah, blah."

Just for today, I can be of service to Great Causes in my own way.
