Quote by: Scribbler1 The problem is that, a long time ago when we started doing all the things that are causing harm to the planet we didn't KNOW we were hurting anything. I sincerely doubt anyone woke up one day a hundred or so years ago and said, "Hmm, what a great day to louse up the environment."
But the deed is done and although we may have done it differently if we knew then what we know now, our lifestyles are welded to the industries and processes that cause this harm. And let's face it, for most of the population, our lifestyle is all we have and we're not about to mess THAT up!
Nice thought though. |
Some very exciting things are happening. Complete, huge shopping malls are being built to be freindly to the environment. We have been successful in cleaning up rivers and lakes. Where we still have forest, replanting them has proven very successful. But something is wrong with our culture and media. This is another subject, important to the understanding of democracy.
