I volunteered last year with some environment conservation organisation. I helped to teach public school kids about native flora and fauna of my city and helped the organisation in conducting a quiz based on wildlife. It was a fun experience.
My city is the most polluted in the world therefore I am not optimistic about my country. Also I don't think there is much we can do. Our efforts will not stop the ongoing process of climate change. The damage which was done in last few decades will have its impact forever. Well thanks to America because most of the garbage/trash is produced in America and is sold to my country. We literally buy trash of first world countries otherwise your country will already have become a big dump. I can't do anything about it on my level. I can only teach others about the issue and use my skills to spread information and do analysis. Lol I am a math genius, no kidding. I am leaving my country soon enough. I am not wasting my time to help people when my government is run by monkeys.
The only way to save the world is to eliminate the entire human race. You can try to save it by picking up little scraps here and there, but in the end its useless compared to the stuff big companies are pumping and dumping out.
ok so even if you change my mind, what can I do? Maybe I could become a politician and create bills to restrict the amount of waste companies make, but I will never be able to completely stop companies from making waste. There is too much demand for companies. Want to save the earth? Then we should all live in the woods like hunter gatherers without electricity, wifi, cars, buildings and contract diseases and get eaten by lions and mosquitoes, but no one wants to do that.
If you want to pedal through 6" of snow, be my guest. I'll settle for my car that gets 20% better mileage than my old one. Recycling? If we don't get at least three lives from a t-shirt, then we just aren't really trying. And please don't tote your ground meats home in a fabric bag unless if you really like e. coli. You could wash it but, heck, that might waste a little water. Maybe if we cut down on the political hot air from the fatalists - - - - - -
Good points, but humans are digging their own grave. In fact, it's so deep that they aren't able to get themselves out. It's too late to save the planet. We just have to wait.
I personally think humans are very selfish and not very precious, I just hate the fact that we humans are destroying the planet. We could stop doing it. There are so many other species living on planet earth, what is our right to destroy it?
"Are you afraid humans will become extinct or something? Who says we should carry on? The earth doesn't need us."
I like what you just said about the earth not needing us. I say none of it is worth saving, just let it all crash and burn. Even if somehow we saved the planet, everybody and everything will still be gone eventually and cease to exist. Even our sun won't last forever, one day it will become a Red Giant and the Earth would be done for. Scientists had theories how eventually the universe might end and collapse to. So futility of saving anything is the reality. It's all nothing but trying to deny and postpone that inevitability of what ultimately is and will happen eventually.
People make take this more seriously if the Messiah's of this did not create 100 times the carbon footprint of the average person. Since they instead use it as a money-generating platform, it is reasonable to believe that they are full of crap.
There are no problems with environment. I would drink from a creek and not think twice about it. Our water is cleaner than ever , ozone hole is fixed, The air is cleaner than ever. The fish are having fun in the sun. There is no Global warming or Climate Change. That is fiction to steal people's money through taxes. Just a crisis to get Democrats and socialists elected. Just big Gov't taking over the people's lives.
Cute , real cute. I think it is nice you have adopted a useless cause. Just dont ask me for any money. I need to donate to real causes like the people starving or kids with cancer.
NO ONE is at risk of climate change or global warming because it doesn't exist! One way to save the planet: jail all the lazy people that can't be bothered to put their garbage into a garbage can even though they're LEANING on one!!!
60% of electricity is produced with fossil fuels, and we lose about half of energy due to resistance in power lines dissipating the energy as heat. Electric vehicles haul heavy batteries, so carry more weight, so a similarly sized gas car could be more efficient give a similar design. However, even without any difference in efficiency, just using the same amount of energy can be a 120% increase in fossil fuel carbon emissions and usage WHILE requiring toxic battery production.
When I was your age we were all going to die from the coming ice age. There have been more than a dozen of these types of claims in my lifetime alone. It's fucking bogus.
The progressive left lives on scaring the population. It's called alarmism. Scared people are much easier to control. Easier to get them to do what you want them to do. And to part with their money. We don't want nobody thinking for themselves - we want to think for them. We know better. Sure.
hmm i dont know man. there are some not so good things that can be seen with all those wales, turtles, seagulls, and countless others being cut open with a belly full of plastic!!
It's not alarmism, they outlawed and banned technologies that were releasing chloroflourocarbons internationally because they chemically react with ozone and annihilate it at a rate faster than nature could resupply it.
There are plenty of other chemicals that do the same thing, even those that exist naturally. The annihilation of ozone and thinning of the atmosphere causes global warming. Global warming causes an excess of water levels in the ocean due to melting Glaciers and excess water vapor in the atmosphere, leading to a higher frequency of storms. (Like, have you heard of the many 'Once in a few hundred year' storms) There is a lot of evidence of similar circumstances happening multiple times in history due to volcanos, meteors, etc.
Of course, the planet will be fine regardless even if we do keep polluting it. The excess water vapor will eventually build up enough to substitute for the ozone, but it won't be exactly the same as having ozone as our atmosphere, it will stagnate and take a VERY long time to come back down, and as a result an ice age will occur until the Planet recovers.
All of this can be observed and determined if you have a bit of scientific background. Or even by just being a hobbyist and looking up the right How-to videos. They also teach these subjects in many high schools now.
If an ice age occurred then there would be a war WAY worse than the previous world wars, due to the lack of resources. The world and the environment can save itself, but the consequences of it saving itself would kill a vast majority of the people in the world.
I work in physics and computer programming though, not Environmental Science or Meteorology. So, sorry if I had any mistakes in there.
Quoting an associate... THIS is what makes sense to ME. "The arrogance of man knows no bounds. You just got back from a tour of the country. Did you pay attention to the geology of the landscape you were driving through? Do you honestly think the incredibly violent events that created the mountains, the Grand Canyon etc ceased to exist when humans came along? The worlds stockpile of weapons couldn't replicate the most basic bitch destruction mother nature is capable of unleashing.
Don't think that I'm calling for willy nilly pollution and destruction by any means. I just realize that when mother nature is tired of our annoyance she'll shake us off her back like the ants we are and keep on spinning with nigh a sign of our existence in 100 years."
Well, I don't live there either. I live in a dark place up north where there is no sight of a metro station and only a few buses. But you can find alternatives.
It's all about making what we can to not destroy it more. No one alone can save the world, that's the truth we have to live with, but we can make our lives less consuming to the earth.

It seems like we should start with these gaggers like you.

GREAT mytake. I wish more people actually cared about the environment.
Good points, but humans are digging their own grave. In fact, it's so deep that they aren't able to get themselves out. It's too late to save the planet. We just have to wait.
So you just keep destroying it?
God will never allow his greatest creation to be destroyed.
Save it from what?
The climate has been changing ever since the earth has been here. Ever here of the ice age?
Are you afraid humans will become extinct or something? Who says we should carry on? The earth doesn't need us.
I personally think humans are very selfish and not very precious, I just hate the fact that we humans are destroying the planet. We could stop doing it. There are so many other species living on planet earth, what is our right to destroy it?

You have something you want to say?
Cute , real cute. I think it is nice you have adopted a useless cause. Just dont ask me for any money. I need to donate to real causes like the people starving or kids with cancer.
You're not very good at this.
How so?
Captain Planet!
He’s our hero!
Gunna take pollution down to zero!
lol Nice take. I do what I can. 🌐
NO ONE is at risk of climate change or global warming because it doesn't exist!
One way to save the planet: jail all the lazy people that can't be bothered to put their garbage into a garbage can even though they're LEANING on one!!!
Plant more trees... save what's already planted
Fuck gasoline go electric

What you wrote above motivated me and changed my way of thinking
<3 Awesome to hear this!
Too bad no one cares and the OZone layer will die along with everyone on the planet.
So you say NO ONE cares to me, when I just wrote a take like this?
yup.
Well, I do.
the ozone hole has been gone for years but don't let the facts get in the way
Ozone layer start recovering itselt. Search google for recent updates..
By eliminating a large percentage of the population
Maybe we should start with you
Wtf.
America and china responsible for the most pollution , they should reduce their industry
Oh god, here we go... another one that's gonna SAVE THE PLANET.
Newsflash honey... it will save itself. You'll see.
you might not be fully educated on this subject browneye
@1samiam1 maybe we'll see about that too... 😂
lmfao

you're a bit sheltered there kid.
the platics in the ocean are killing huge amounts of marine life not to mention birds and reptiles on the shores. educate yourself junior
@1samiam1 Too many assumptions about cause and affect. It's not always what it appears to be, or what you assume it to be.
I'm not dumb. Really. LOL
hmm i dont know man. there are some not so good things that can be seen with all those wales, turtles, seagulls, and countless others being cut open with a belly full of plastic!!
@1samiam1 That's not from global warming honey.
no it is not. it is from us doing significant damage to the planet through our actions though that are having a real impact
@1samiam1 very true its the same here in scotland
@RIVERTAY888 dang right. we need to educate browneye on these matters
It's not alarmism, they outlawed and banned technologies that were releasing chloroflourocarbons internationally because they chemically react with ozone and annihilate it at a rate faster than nature could resupply it.

@1samiam1 very true and some of it is nature no one owns the planet

@Dause exactly. browneye and people like browneye need to get educated on this kind of stuff.
That's for sure. The planet will be here long after the useful idiots are wiped off of it by those pushing climate change.

I don't live in New York City where you can take the subway everywhere you go. I live in Miami Florida and it's all spread out
Well, I don't live there either. I live in a dark place up north where there is no sight of a metro station and only a few buses. But you can find alternatives.
Yesterday someone gave a card to me.. It said, plant a tree when you get the driving license. We can save nature this way.
Why after you get the driving license? But yeah, planting trees is a good way to help the planet. :)
Interesting. I would look into "planned obsolescence" as well.
Forget it. The planet is fucked. But we can slow down the decaying process.
It's all about making what we can to not destroy it more. No one alone can save the world, that's the truth we have to live with, but we can make our lives less consuming to the earth.
