RE: Climate Change: Heatwaves and Ocean Death
It often seems that the economy and wealth are on divergent paths than the health of the planet. Problem is when profits swing down, the earth doesn't really recover.
It is cheaper and more profitable to be environmentally irresponsible. So you can assume the corporations will never take the means necessary. With he loosening of the environmental sanctions and takeover of the US EPA by that orange guy, things do not look to be getting better.
It is up to us as individuals to change our habits, redirect our purchasing power, and educate the next generation. Hard as hell to practice what you preach but I am trying to be less of the problem and more of the solution personally.
We have not failed yet if we are still alive but many won't get off their ass unless an alarm is sounding. So ring it loud!
Great post.
Can you imagine the cost of factories around the world completely outfitting their production models towards not only sustainable energy grids, but so that the products themselves are environmentally sound? It'd be astronomical.
I'm skeptical of any individual change. Go for it, by all means, but we need to restructure society itself.
I agree with you. I just am determined to be part of the solution no matter how futile it may seem in the face of humanity.
