Environmental Rant

Mankind is one family and we share the same destiny.

All headed for an economic, social and environmental disaster...

Unless we change our behaviour.

But oh, like that's going to happen, because hey, we're human and selfish, greedy buggers who are more concerned about why there's not anything decent on TV or in the fridge rather than thinking about what's happening outside of the house.

Global terrorism? Sure, it kills people to blow others up. But environmental terrorism? Hmmm... strangely enough that seems to be ignored! Or worse still, encouraged by governments and big business. Nothing like drilling for oil in a world heritage area or killing some more whales for 'scientific research.'

Oh, and here, have some Agent Orange...

To hell with keeping up with the Joneses.

A pox upon the inertia.

It's time to be responsible in our consumption. Not taking and taking and taking, but making sure that we only use what is necessary and ensuring that we work to return things to the earth as well to replace what we took.

Or there will be nothing left for your children and your children's children.

Happiness doesn't mean to buy more and more, progress isn't something that should excuse destruction and abuse.

ARRRGHHHHH!

*sigh*
