Do you care about our future?

Asked by KaY_Jelly (2264points) November 23rd, 2013

If everyone in the world lived like people do in the western world, it would take 6 earths to sustain us all.

Climate change.

Honestly I am worried about this planet and everything in it struggling to survive and it is apparent that some species do not even make it. Us humans are depleting the earth resources and in turn we are killing the planet. You’d have to plant like 6–10 (I don’t remember the exact numbers but there is numbers!) of trees a day just to replace the carbon that you emit on a daily basis, which is causing global warming.

Does any of this matter to you or anyone? Or should we just wait until the ocean goes belly up and say “the world has just declared a major global
Catastrophy!” And try to deal with it at that time, that’s even if we survive that, the one thing all civilizations have done before us and is they have fallen and none of them have taken from the earth as much as we have.

Shouldn’t we do something now to preserve our future and the earth we live on?

One thing is clear, and that is that we all are affected by this.

More importantly what steps are you taking, if any, to preserve our future and the earth?

Note: This is in general, just so it stays on topic. :)
