I hate to break it to you, but. . .

39. Unfortunately I think you are correct.

Only by education of the populous and and overwhelming numbers making a personal choice can this be achieved. The thing is I am still not convinced it is too late. People, eh. But I refuse to be a defeatist when it comes to wildlife or to the trees. I think they could still be our salvation. Radical problems require radical solutions. The forests will have to be rebuilt, soon. The natural filter of nature needs to be allowed to run free. With as little further interference and as much assistance as we can manage.
Pretty much a pipe dream but I still hold out that most people on this planet want a better life for those to come. It was what we as a species demanded with the evolution of ideas of freedom and personal responsibility. What greater responsibility can there be than to keep your Mother happy and clean and to make your children's futures happier than your past. If only the message could be heard without the influence of corporate money. Without the input of politics and the filter of mass media obfuscation. If we could all decide what kind of a mark we wanted to leave on the world, right now, or if we want to leave one at all.

More than likely its an accepted fact at the highest levels of power in the world. The decision has been made that the people would panic leading to destabilization of world markets, massive losses in property values and a much less cordial environment to the known polluters and profiteers. Better for them to live out the remaining lives they have as captains of industry and respected members of the community than to be tarred and feathered.
