We are mistreating our planet, the very things we depend on to survive, the air, the water, the food chain.
I've pondered it now and then and think how stoopid we are as a species. LOL !!
I understand when certain industries were first born, nobody realized what their byproducts would be and that they would be so caustic to the earth, but once we knew, it should have been changed. Although I know how ridiculous what I am about to say is, I have often thought that nobody should be able to put anything new into production without also having a plan about how to safely dispose of whatever was leftover. I think that should be part of it and if there is no way to safely dispose of what it leaves, it should not go into production.
Things are so polluted now, I'm not sure it is possible to fix, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Yep, stupid indeed, and it makes no sense...but greed us a powerful motivator.
I don't think there's any real excuse for what we're doing, industry and general population included, as you say. We know enough to know we're causing damage...and yet, #noaction
Ok, some action, but nowhere near enough.
