Of course it makes more sense to eat organic, local food and to change your light bulbs to more eco-friendly versions, but the underlying fact that seems to be driving you is that there is some sort of earth shattering change going on in our environment. <br /><br />I agree that we are slowly destroying this world, probably faster in the past few decades than ever before, but you also have to remember that this earth had cycles to it long before we came around. The ice ages and the floods and hello that meteor that hit and killed the dinosaurs, those all were events that changed the world. And for the majority of them (excluding the whole dinosaurs thing) they were events that happened because of the earth and her cycles, not because of humans or animals or plants disrupting the earth. <br /><br />Granted us living here and destroying precious resources sucks and we're killing off more trees, plants and animals than we can reproduce so yes we're harming the world in that sense. But I don't think that this whole "The world is going through global warming" thing is valid. The earth has cycles and it's just time for another one to occur (at least that's what I think) Disagree with me if you want and that's fine if you do I just think that all these government and political people who are throwing the rest of the public mass into a tailspin of despair should really look at the big picture and look at history as a whole instead of just focusing on what's happened in the past few decades or even the past century.<br /><br />I applaud you for being as open-minded about this as you are and for establishing the fact that no one really has time to do more than just think about what it is they would like to do to change the world. I know I think about that every time I'm in the car going to work. It sucks that I have to drive and waste gas and pollute the air in the process, but it's a fact of this modern life I live in this "modern" world we've created.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
