fair enough. my feeling on the subject is that the stuff we put out there clearly isn't helping and if we can be better stewards of the planet, we should be.
More or less my take on it. I read a good five years ago that if you gave every human being one square metre, they'd all fit into Texas. Putting that into perspective, that ain't a lot of the planet. And if you look at even the most crowded cities in the world on the satellite image of Google maps, most have a tonne of green space around them. Even some of those smog ridden cities in Europe have huge areas of greenery...the juries out IMO
i don't know about the one square metre. but i do know that drinkable water is starting to be an issue in some places. and food sources are going to become increasingly difficult to find. we're over-fishing our seas and generally upsetting the balance of the eco-system.
if we're going to keep being able to sustain ourselves, those things need to be addressed, too. draughts are more frequent as are progressively severe weather patterns. not all of it is controllable. and not all of it is fatal to humankind. but we can be reasonable.
when i see people cheering for pollution because they somehow see it as pro corporate, it kind of turns my stomach.
