Headlines are funny things. They come and go so quickly, like stormy weather. Their intensity level is blaring, like a siren in the night. They can assert themselves like blockbuster movies, but are soon forgotten.
News and headlines about The Economy often rule the day because we feel so much is at stake, i.e., jobs, our lifestyle, a second car, a night at the movies, paying down the mortgage, an education fund, putting an addition onto the house.
But in spite of a very small headline, I feel a recent piece of news deserves more play. If we fail to heed the warning, The Economy (and most things we link to it) will shrivel.
‘RECORD LOW LAKE LEVELS’
The news isn’t about changing our water-usage habits for the next two years, e.g., the need to take a 60-second shower or reduce the number of days we wash our car or water the lawn. It’s about the way we built our communities during the last 70 years and the need for a gigantic shift in the way we do business for the next 70 years.
And it’s not ‘new’ news with gigantic, captivating headlines. Here in Canada, home to thousands of lakes, rivers and streams, it may not even be on many peoples' radar.
More to follow.
