Admit it guys, as a human race, we're greedy enough to destroy our own planet to make money. All we want is to sit on our greedy fat arses, eat ready meals, take everything we have for granted, and then when it's gone, we feel a bit more lost in our pointless useless lives.
The fact we still have fascinations with man-made cities like Dubai which has literally no solar panels whatsoever, in a desert, with sun throughout the year, is absolutely ridiculous. Dubai makes so much money through oil it buys all the things it needs. We want everything bigger, more powerful, more destructive to the planet. How stupid is that?Why do we give a shit, when it's obvious that nobody is going to do anything about it?
Well in fact they are doing things. We have government protected forests and park, we have sustainable tree farms for our paper, we have localised fish farms to help replenish the 3/4 depleted oceans, we have wind farms (which people complain about because they look ugly!), we have solar farms, we have countries who don't allow driving on particular days to encourage drive shares, encouraging community focus. We have so many things, due to government understanding and focus, which are allowing us to hopefully bring people together to work as a single human race towards a more efficient planet. It's not until we get together, and conquer our greed that we can begin to see any difference in the way we live our lives.
Right, I need to get the next local flight to work. Bye!
- Totally agree. People think short term in their daily lives, but can look long term when thinking policy.joeth
- Check out Masdar, a city being built in Abu Dhabi to run only on solar. http://en.wikipedia.…joeth
