Stress and the Economy
With what looks to be the most serious economic downturn for quite some time upon us, many of our thoughts are turning to what the fallout is going to be when everything settles. Already the problem of stress is apparent.
It’s clear the problems with the world’s economy are different in different places, and in the very short term probably the most serious in the US followed closely by the UK.
Of course most of us have some financial ties to the US, so we are all in some way effected. I’m really sobered however by the realities facing those people who actually live in the US, and I think they’re in for some pretty tough times ahead.
I really hope everyone, regardless of where they live, can use the current economic situation as an excuse to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and imported goods, and rather look towards promoting local economies together with environmentally friendly and locally produced products. I know that’s what I intend to do! It’s what’s going to be best for all of us in the long run.
