Minimum impact
The North Pole is melting. Polar bears are drowning. Amazon basin is disappearing. Gorillas are going deeper and deeper into the woods threatened by tractors and wood companies. One third of the population is dying for a miracle drug to loose weight while the two thirds remaining die of starvation. Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes and forest fires sprung everywhere.
According to ecologists and environmentalist, everything is wrong: The air, the water, the soil, and plants are fucked up - and they demand action from our side. This is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Demanding human kind to have consciousness about the planet convincing a lesbian not to like pussy. Impossible.
They lead us to think that it is in our power to save the Planet. Before I go on, lets think about this phrase. SAVE THE PLANET. Can we be more arrogant as to think that we can save the planet? What this tree huggers mean is that we need to save our homes, our habitat. They refer to our way of life rather than the planet. They tend to ferget that Earth is a self-correcting organism, it will be here looooooong after we have vanished.
Lets see this from another point of view. Our lovely home (earth) has approximately 4.500 billion years. During this preposterous amount of time it has been shaken by unimaginable earthquakes, melted down by voracious volcanic eruptions, shaped and reshaped by plaque tectonics, redesigned by continental drifts, carbonized by solar flares, exposed to solar spots, entangled in magnetic fields, disentangled by magnetic reversal of the poles, bombarded by thousands upon thousands of asteroids, comets, meteors, drowned in world wide tidal waves, cosmic rays, ice ages and many other things we are yet to discover. And still we think a little un-recycled plastic bags will make the difference. Get the fuck out of here. It will make a difference to our habitat, but not the planet. Earth is a living organism and knows how to take care of itself. Believe you me, when we really start being a nuisance to the planet, it will shake us off like a bad case of fleas, as it has done with millions and millions of animals and still does by a rate of 25 species a day. We might be next.
There is something I never quite understood. Some groups of people around the world have a knack for building their homes right unders an active volcanoe. You can see these people in the news complaining their homes are burned down to ashes. Other choose to live right next to a river that constantly floods and appear in the evening news grasping a floating tree branch reaching for the helicopter rope - and so on. What I do not understand is that they rebuild their homes right in the same spot again and again. Let me give these people a word of advice - GET THE FUCK OUT!
Now if, the enviromentalists´ point is to save ourselves, then it is another matter. Still, I consider it ridicolous, but we can make a difference by consuming less, fucking less, eating and drinking less and acting more responsible towards our enviroment. Which is a long way from saving the planet.
My point is that Earth is not going anywhere, we are.

puta cabron todavia me impresionas con tu razocinio fuera de esquemas,te felicito por el comment pero tu planteamiento alternativo que planteas al final, podrias ahondar mas en el tema, pues es exactamente esa condicion egolatra de trabajar y vivir para complacer los sentidos,que nos hace esclavos de las sensaciones la cual nos potencia cada dia mas el ego para creernos semi dioses o heroes capases de salvar el mundo,perdiendo el norte de la vida de ser mejores seres humanos,que es la razon de la existencia de este planeta (actividad karmatica o ley del karma).nuestra decadencia esta lejos de entender el verdadero proposito de la existencia,la cual como tu dices,por abandonar un poquito las sensaciones se permite que aflore consiencia y no el ego que nos esclavisa,perdiendo asi la posibilidad de liberarse,que eso si hace la diferencia!

What's your point Danny? I am lost on this one? Should we not bother with the environment?
listen .... we can't just not do anything. Have you seen the kids movie "Wall-E". That's taking it to the extreme, but if we don't care about waste then we have a problem, although this is sometimes blown out of proportion. How long does it really take the environment to break down plastic bags? Depends on the bag. Some plastics break down quickly, others take millennia. The kind you get at the grocery stores are usually made from polyethylene film, and under good circumstances are easily recycled. Other plastic bags are thicker and do not recycle well or decompose easily.
Even those that are biodegradable need the components of air and sun to break down quickly. Absent of those two factors they won't degrade for decades. Of course, neither will much else. Even things like newspaper don't decompose in airless and dark environments for a long time. So if we keep polluting the air and the planet, we WILL be fucked!!!
Its not about having an ego or about being a tree huger. Its about taking responsibility for our actions that will have a consequence on the world of our children tomorrow. I don't want my grand children to have to use oxygen masks to breath as they already have to in some countries. Santiago Chile is a good example of that. Anyway .... I don't agree with fucking less either.... come on man.... no fucking? Please!!!!!!!

I agree with saving our habitat. I am one who worries about this. I try to do my best, recycle palstics and glass, take the used oils to green points. Use the car as little as possible, and within my budget purchase energy saver products. However, when they say the slogan, SAVE THE PLANET, then its a different story altogether. Save the planet? there is nothing wrong with the planet other than us. As J Florida says, if we keep polluting the planet we will be fucked. WE, not the planet. The planet will live forever and will regenerate itslef to suit the next living organism on line.
Surely we are part of the planet we were not created..surely that is just semantics Save the Planet is phrase that people can grasp, of course the planet will not disappear and I am not sure any environmentalist would ever say that. I think recycling a few bits of glass and the odd can is going to make too much difference if you continue fly around the world. Tricky thing to give up though.
By refering to flying arround the world you mean the effect on the the Ozone layer that this has, however, unless you want to go back into the middle ages you should also take into consideration the following: The ozone holes in 2000 and 2006 were the largest on record, measuring around 32.9 million square kilometers (more than three times the size of Australia) and, for the first time, extending over populated areas. However the size of the hole is also dependent on the meteorological conditions surrounding the Antarctic. The 2003 and 2007 ozone holes were much smaller, due in large part to the disruption of the hole by other weather conditions in the troposphere and stratosphere.
So, in part I see where Danny is going with this. Yes, we are responsible for taking care of this planet, finding better fuel alternatives would help, but mother nature will do what she wants, when she wants, independent of whether we are here or not. However, we should never lose touch with our present reality, and we must, I repeat, WE MUST take responsibility for our actions that will have a consequence on the world of our children tomorrow. However insignificant it may seem to you about "recycling a few bits of glass and the odd can" we can not afford to think that way. Your right though "SAVE THE PLANET" is only a catch phrase, but I'd rather it stays as ONLY such and doesn't actually turn into a reality that we can no longer avoid!

I was more referring to parts per million of carbon dioxide contributing to human made climate change not the hole in the ozone layers. And it is the rich that are doing the highest % of pollution per capita.
Ozone holes were created due to the use of CFC and halons not C02
wow.... this is good .... just joining in, here goes; your right, Ozone Depleting Substances (ODSs) that are used in many industries of which the common classes of these gases are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), halons and methyl bromide. When emitted into the atmosphere, these substances break down the stratospheric ozone layer .... Co2?
ok ... Synthetic Greenhouse Gases (SGGs) were largely introduced as replacements for some ozone-depleting substances. Three of the six Kyoto Protocol gases - hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) - are SGGs. While these gases do not present a direct risk to the ozone layer, they often have very high Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) and will contribute significantly to the enhanced greenhouse effect if emitted to the atmosphere.
The Antarctic ozone hole is a dramatic thinning of ozone in the stratosphere over Antarctica each spring. This damage is due not only to the availability of ozone-depleting substances in the stratosphere, but also specific meteorological conditions that facilitate the destruction of ozone over Antarctica.....
shit ..... sex anyone?
I´m with the last anonymous.
Hahaha, me too! But nice to see how well-informed some of you guys are.
Danny,I shall offer only a couple of comments, although very many more come to mind. Earth may well be a self-regulating organism, but there's plenty of hard evidence that shows that human action does radically alter the natural balance of things and accelerate processes that would otherwise take millenia. So it's not only OUR environment we're screwing up, but also that of those polar bears, gorillas and other animals who are hanging on by the skin of their teeth on the edge of extinction. Not to mention plant species. This goes beyond our ego or our fate as a species. So personally I consider it every human's responsibility (first and foremost my own) to do as much as we can NOT to contribute to the pollution and degradation of the environment, independently of whether governments or other more powerful agents do so too. Every little action counts.
Also, I don't think you do the debate any favours by mocking all ecologists as "tree-huggers". Sure, every movement has its extremes... but so what. It's the intention that counts, as far as I'm concerned. "Save the Planet" may be an inexact slogan, but I guess those who use it are just trying to catch people's attention... not unlike yourself really. If we started splitting hairs about how you express yourself, no-one would be taking you seriously by now (I mean, lesbians and pussy?!?... Aaaargh, mercy!). He dicho...

I think the whole point in danny´s post is more than clear... is us using wrongly our free will.. is a pretty good point, coming from a sharp intellect. This is a good article danny, thank you!and talking about the law of karma this is for you alejandro, hope you enjoy it.
