Not everyone has the luxury of time to be active in all worthy local causes. I do what I can with what I have. In all fairness, when friends want me to write a protest letter to the government, \u00a0I ask them to please write the letter for me that all I would have to do is sign if I agree. That&#8217;s why I send return envelopes with invoices: to make it easy for someone to do what I&#8217;m asking them to do, since they are likely as busy as I am. \u00a0I work up to 18 hours a day and don&#8217;t have time to familiarize myself with issues they are immersed in. \u00a0They know much more about it than I do. \u00a0The issue is right in front of them, not me. I pay attention to what is right in front of me. What is in front of me is mine to do. What is in front of you is yours to do. \u00a0If you want my help in attending to your priority, please make it easy for me.<\/span><i><\/i><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-lack-of-social-activism-on-environmental-issues-is-not-unloving\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=My lack of social activism on environmental issues is not &#8220;unloving&#8221;&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-lack-of-social-activism-on-environmental-issues-is-not-unloving\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-lack-of-social-activism-on-environmental-issues-is-not-unloving\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-lack-of-social-activism-on-environmental-issues-is-not-unloving\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=My%20lack%20of%20social%20activism%20on%20environmental%20issues%20is%20not%20&#8220;unloving&#8221;&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-lack-of-social-activism-on-environmental-issues-is-not-unloving\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I apologize to anyone who sees my lack of social activism on environmental issues as &#8220;unloving,&#8221; I am busy working several jobs to feed and clothe and house loved ones in my immediate environment.
