Is there a reason to trash our( currently) only planet just so we can be assured our bank accounts have more then 7 digits and we can have huge houses? What do you think about it?
 
I have no idea! I am such an environmentalist and LOVE animals!!! I hate it when people trash this earth! RECYCLE!
 
It is about greed, power and control. The ones with this mentality do not see the destruction, and nor will they believe it. To quote Farly Mowat, "Men believe that which they wish to believe, and most of them prefer to believe that which gives solace to their consciences." And then, there is the separation of the people. Not enough getting together on the real important issues and making a stand. It is still "We The People" I believe and it is we who will have to save our world from the rich and so-called famous and powerful. It would help if we limit our purchasing to needs; don't pay to see overpaid people perform, etc., recycle, compost and do our part to save our planet.
Each of us must do our part. As Jean-Jaques Rousseau stated, "Let us leave to others the task of instructing mankind in their duty and confine ourselves to the discharge of our own." People make the rich man rich by buying when it is not necessary more out of want then need and that is just what they want you to do. I do not watch television, but I hear about the commercials people are bombarded with from all kinds of businesses. You are supposed to buy what you do not need so they can keep getting rich having to replenish their inventory. 75% to 90% of things sold in malls are really not a necessity.
This is all just my opinion and may not be of any help. I am afraid I have more questions then answers. God Bless!
 
The problem is people who own or manage most of the big companies are so greedy that money in their own pockets is more important to them than anything else. They do not even care about profits or they would not be giving themselves big bonuses while their companies are losing money.

Take care,

Well, yes, I do want to have a big house someday.

Also a small cabin in the mountains. Already have a nice SUV.
 
I was thinking of asking this same question!

I try to live a healthy life and look after my planet but sadly I'm a minority. While some of us are good people and are doing the right thing, there are too many others that really don't care.

Companies and governments are all about making money or fighting in wars to think of the planet as a whole.

I hope something terrible happens so it wakes people up to whats going on.

There's more creatures on this planet than us.
