What if . . . ?

Mark Kawabe - Wednesday, April 21, 2010
  • Everyone was healthy: We might need 50% less doctors and nurses. Convenience stores might close because of lowered cigarette sales. There could be two or three times as many stores selling nutritional supplements, bicycles, running gear and sports equipment and less selling televisions and Lazy-Boys. Personal trainers would be able to make a very comfortable salary. Fast food restaurants would switch away from serving fat-bombs to healthier fare - or close completely. Our communities would have cleaner air and water. We'd probably know our neighbours as we'd see them while out for our evening walks. 
Getting rid of one problem could cause lots of problems - depending on which side of the fence you sit. This is why many people are happy with the status quo - problems and all. They're in businesses that exist because there are problems in society.

We "all" recognize that we should eliminate problems in our society. "Everybody" thinks its a good idea. Since you're part of that whole, what have you done today to make our society a better place?

Coming soon: "Feel Good Niagara" - helping people learn about how they can make their lives better.

Does Driving an H3 Make You a "Bad" Person?

Mark Kawabe - Wednesday, January 27, 2010
While out and about I noticed a business person has chosen to drive an H3, complete with their contact information and company logo on it.

What do you think about people who choose to drive vehicles that are perceived to be environmentally unfriendly?

We live in an increasingly eco-conscious society and many people try to make "green" choices whenever possible. Going green is the hallmark of a responsible citizen is it not? So what about this businessperson? What could one possibly guess about their character, either positive or negative?

I'm curious about your opinion so I haven't put forward my own to see where the discussion goes.
