So we are worried about the rise of oceanic waters and droughts from rising temperatures. The old saying see the forest but for the tree.
Search how clean our water is. Not even the municipal tap water. Search how wells in aquifers, streams, ponds, springs and the rain have overly large amounts of chemicals from farming, pharmaceuticals, mining, oil drilling, oil spills, factories, and trash.
See the soil health of the world. The air quality.
The world is massively spoilt consumer. We get riches from the ground whether it be hard fought or easily gotten. From precious earth minerals to power today’s tech to the paper some are still inclined to construct with. It is all still cheaper to buy new than it is to reuse.
Paper has been around for millennia. Plastic the wonderful plastic has been around for more than a century.
Nuclear energy has been studied just a long. What do we do knowingly to this toxic mess? Throw it away and bury it because we can always make more.

Those fruits and vegetables riddled with toxic fertilizers after being modified to grow better(so ironic) are thrown away because we didn’t get to them fast enough. That fat cow or chicken that was vaccinated and inoculated and fed those modified fertilized products drinking the water, and breathing the air; are thrown away once again. It doesn’t matter if it was hard to purchase it will get thrown away because it was easily procured. We don’t know that animal that was not named sold to us by the butcher who bought it from his brother.
All of this is because money makes the world go round and consumers are key. If a plastic company say Nestle the largest one division of a company in the world, were to open a depository for their used products of plastic and paper and reuse it themselves. Oh, but that would cost them to invest in themselves, community, state so the price of their product would go up because Billions of revenue in today’s world only goes so far. Would consumers be happy? The consumer who can’t care because the wades the make won’t afford quality?
Instead if every consumer, from the individual to corporations to communities to states to countries be conscientious about the back up of the earthen toilet we will continue on a reap what we sew.
Convenience is not always key to a better life. No we don’t always need the whole animal, tv, cellphone, box of vegetables but only want the one part. We can be more selective in our consumerism. mand more accountability from the corporations, communities, states producing massive quantities of waste. From the beginning to the end. The earth rotates day and night. It grows from death and dies and grows again. Our consumerism should have a cycle, not a line or uptick on a graph.
When the earth changes and people move from place to place what environment are they going to? Contaminated beyond repair environments are not just a third world problem of ignorance any more it’s an arrogance problem.
