Lupin Hill Worry List



1. We don't seem to to be DOING enough about global warming. The birds and animals and insects, the sea levels, the thermometers, the weather are warning us that we must universally get our act together now and we aren't DOING such a great job.

3. There is such a disparity in the hope for the futures of babies being born into this world.

4. Apathy is destroying democracy.

5. Power is too concentrated.

6. The Maritimes is producing good people who economically are being forced to work elsewhere. Those choosing to remain behind suffer economically and are often mislabelled as unwilling to work. This is economic cleansing.

23. There isn't enough joy going around.

24. There are still too many pot holes on Russia Road.

25. Too much hope is being replaced by bitterness.

26. We don't have enough respect for pure water as a necessity.

27. Some people's rights are more valuable than others.

28. Native people need action not words.

30. The jails are too full.

31. Serious mental health issues are not being addressed.

32. Farmers are under appreciated.

33. What is going on with all these drugs?

34. The many understandings that swirl around the concept "enough"are unacknowledged.
