that there is no Plan(et) B, when it comes to the environment. Earth is still our only home. Some of us keep asking them what they are going to do with their money when the air has too much smog to breathe, when the streams have too many chemicals to drink, and the food will not grow because of these two things. Will they be able to eat, drink and breathe their money?
Some of them tell us that it is the workings of some mythological divine creator, yet cannot provide proof of such.
I, for one have been telling people about this for most of my adult lifetime, and I am 61. I have not polluted the planet with more human beings who continue to consume everything in sight. Yes, there are many things that I must do to compromise my beliefs, in order to live in this society, and I just cannot stand them. Living here in the US, I have to drive practically everywhere, so I drive the most fuel efficient car that I can, even though my co-workers, and some friends ridicule me. I am a recycler AND a re-purposer. When something is used up for its intended use, I try to see if I can use it for something different before I recycle it. I also try to buy recycled when I can. I haven't used a bag from a grocery store, or any other store in 25 years. I have been using the same canvass bags for that time as well. I collect rainwater to water my garden.
Even though I do all this, it is not enough, because the vast amount of people have been brainwashed into the capitalist system to consume more, more and more, until there is no more, then consume even more, in panic. This rash consumption seems to be the culprit. If we thought about the planet as having limited resources, which we all must share, and plan accordingly, perhaps something could have been done. Unfortunately it is too late. Capitalism has won, and shall lead to the destruction of the species.
Sorry, but it's too late for the Human Race. The rats won the rat race.
