I was talking with a business associate the other day and a discussion about the environment and politics came up.

He said he had heard John McCain respond to a question about global warming and what his beliefs were. In a nutshell, the Senator supposedly responded with the idea that if we’re wrong about global warming and we’ve taken all sorts of steps to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, we’ve cleaned our air and waterways, so what? Why is that a bad thing?

And quite honestly, he’s exactly right. Whether you believe in global warming or not, what’s wrong with being more environmentally conscious? You don’t have to be a “tree hugger” or fanatical GreenPeace nut job, just be more conscious of your environment and the impact you have on your surroundings.

I don’t know what it is about me feeling the need to come up with some catchy subject line and mirror it with something going on with my life and the environment, but I some how find a way to do so almost every time.

For one I’ve been slipping on my posts these past couple of weeks because I’ve been pretty busy. I’ve also been contemplating the true idea behind my environmental posts and how I can make it even better. I get so tired of all the negative press from killing polar bears to ignorant EPA heads, that it’s hard to keep a positive spin on this very serious subject.

So if I keep up the absenteeism please understand that I’m just slipping and have not gone anywhere.

Oh, by the way, the “slipping” correlation between life and my blog? It’s been very snowy, rainy and sleety here in Indiana as of late. Hence the “slipping” idea. Hey, I’m a designer, not really a comedian.
