Quote: r3x29yz4a said:you're an idiot. pollution is caused by greed and a lack of concern for future generations. the earth is a living thing and any living thing has a limit to what it can handle. in the last 100 years we've polluted the earth to such a terrible degree that if we don't work to reverse things now, we might not have a planet in another 100 years. but then by that point we'll all be dead so I guess it doesn't matter.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, Ray.
If YOU think the earth is that unable to handle human activity, stop contributing to that activity.
Stop using electricity and gas for non-essential uses.
Don't be a consumer. Refuse to buy items that aren't absolutely necessary for your survival.
Think you can, or are willing to, do that?
Or are you all talk?
the burden is on corporations. are you honestly telling me they can't make the same product for slightly more by figuring a way to cut out the toxic waste they dump?
corporations are the ones doing the polluting that is truly killing the planet. The ammount of waste I produce times 6 billion isn't the problem, corporate pollution is.
and, for the record, I have never driven a car and never plan to drive a car. i walk/bike/bus where i need to go. i recycle my goods and have as of yet never dumped a ton of toxic waste into a river.
