RE: The Big House

in #poetrybounty6 years ago

We have a very large peat bog near where I live. Burn's Bog. Apparently it can be seen from space. It is hard to blame the average person for heating their homes but then burning peat is not the way to go. I know that old coffee grounds can be compressed together and be burnt for warmth. Maybe starbucks should get the business of heating.

Your poem was wonderful:)

It is hard to blame the average person. Especially when people with great means are tooling around the earth in private aircraft, or maintaining large, CO2 spewing properties, it seems a little disproportionate to hold the individual peat harvester to account.
Coffee grounds...that I didn't know. Maybe another article :)
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. As for the 'poem'. I once had a mentor who claimed everyone is a poet. I believe he was right (ha ha)...it's just that some of us write more skillfully crafted poetry than others.

I do think everyone is a poet and yes. blaming the average person for the climate crisis is ridiculous. The changes have to be made in infrastructure to make any radical difference.
