RE: Plants are dying out at twice the speed of animals. We have already lost 571 species.
I agree. However the thought that usually humanity, when cornered, always finds a way reassures me.
Just think of the problem of the hole in the ozone: due to our activity (meaning the entirety of the industrialized countries) a problem has arisen which, if not solved immediately, would have brought catastrophic and irreversible consequences for all of us.
An effort was needed on the part of all the nations together to find a solution and start solving the problem and today, after almost fifty years, we can say that we have succeeded.
Here in Canada, the government just bought an oil pipeline that puts all our health at risk, if it goes through. There is no commitment to reduce fossil fuels admissions and in the USA, the leader there doesn't even believe in global warming even thought the effects of this are being seen all around the world.
Scientists have predicted that if we don't make drastic changes in our lifestyle and stop polluting our Earth, then we will not make it. The bee population is already at risk, and if they go, our food supply vanishes.
Unfortunately, the ones in power do not have our best interests in mind. The oil and gas companies, are destroying the planet and controlling the government. Hardly anyone recognizes the corruption and what is going on, let alone do anything about it.
The problem with destroying our Earth has not been solved. I myself have little faith that we will make it for much longer. I'm enjoying everyday while I can and living the best way I can, being thankful for what I have and being aware of the chemical world we live in, so I can protect myself.
Since colonization of the Indigenous, things have taken a drastic turn for the worst. No good values, beliefs or customs results in a sick and dysfunctional society, as we can see in the west, with poor health, childhood sexual abuse, and living in a toxic environment are all features in this created society, that has been constructed to enslave us and keeps us under strict control.
Since many just follow along with what they are told to do, it results in a sheep herd population who are each following one another off the cliff because of an inability to think critically and analyze the dangers that are up ahead. It's a very sad and unfortunate situation and it's difficult to make the best of it.
