Can I just interject here? So maybe the Eart...Mate. Can I just interject here? So maybe the Earth isn't really affected by you but guess what, I am. Your effect on me and every future generation is an effect which involves spending the precious resources needed for our living and destroying the beauties of this world that remain for us to see. Sorry for being ungrateful, but I'm sure there are many of us that would really like to see the wonders of places such as the Great Barrier Reef (before it dies in the next 20 years or so as a result of global warming: a phenomenon most definitely accelerated by humans) and if you wouldn't mind, when I am older I would like to live in a city which isn't smothered by pollution that you don't mind producing because you think the earth can handle it. Just to reinforce my point, I want you to imagine how your kids are gonna feel when you show them how you took such great care of the world that they are to inherit. If I was to be your kid, I would be almighty annoyed at you for bestowing upon me a planet which you had the audacity to go and stuff up because you felt that your duty in life was only to look after yourself. I'm sorry but I don't think your philosophy of just looking after yourself will prove to be effective. Do you know why? Because the earth also knows how to look after itself and when we become an obstacle to it looking after itself, I'm sure it will find a way to continue as an entity which does not support us. Hopefully, if that happens, a newly-evolved set of beings will come along who aren't stupid enough to think that the world needs more parasites to live off it. These beings will, I hope, be intelligent enough to come to the realisation that what is needed is a symbiotic relationship between living organism and environment.ekanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05800773465543752961noreply@blogger.com
