Nearly Christmas continued

In heaven the Bells are ringing

I am looking forward to Christmas and being with family. Also the weather has been interesting this year hasn't it. I like snow but this lot has not been very nice.

The Olympia Horse Show is my yearly enjoyment of the equestrian kind and they had possible difficulties facing them, regarding leaving because of the weather on Monday,21st December 2009

I had my Christmas meal with the Aspergers Social Group on 22nd, and it was nice to share things with people including my crafting in the shape of 2010 calenders

Nearly Christmas 2009

I am really happy because I love Jesus and things have changed after the Ian Clayton Conference. I learnt so much and also learnt how little I really know.
Life is getting a bit more interesting because I can work on myself and my relationship with Jesus.

I have a problem

So many people are saying that meateaters are destroying the planet, because of all the animals producing methane.But my question / problem is this, Rainforest is being pulled down to grow soya and palm oil, at the  rate of football fields a day or even less. I don't see becoming vegetiarian as an environmentally friendly alternative, because of the soya bean issue, and because there has to be the space to grow enough pulses and veg protein to feed an overflowing planet.
The loss of rainforest is more worrying, because no one knows what will happen if it all goes, yes some people are worried, but no one is doing much about it or talking about it in an urgent way. I suspect that demolishing rainforest is causing climate change and that rather than grubbing it up, we should be replacing it.

So many of the arguements I see on telly and elsewhere seem to oversimplify  the issues. We live in a complex ecosystem on this planet and we mess around with things at our peril. Trade and earning a living are important, but the greed of  Multinational Companies, grasping at what is a man made financial structure, regarding money and destroying the world we live in. We all need energy to live, to eat, and stay warm and this has been true for thousands of years.
We cannot turn the clocks back, so we need to find creative ways to survive.
