The Environment

Pollution, Resources, Economy; the list goes on. We have so many problems with the environment it's not even funny. We have been pumping so much pollution into the air, that nothing can handle it. The temperatures are rising unnaturally.
Many people out there are saying crud like, "Oh, there have been many normal climate shifts in the past, and so we aren't doing anything bad."
But here's the difference. The other climate shifts happened after something drastic happened, such as a meteor hit earth, or a volcano erupted.
And that hasn't happened recently.
We are killing our Earth. Especially the species that live here now, and our children. They are going to have to deal with the mess we created and it's not going to be pretty at all.
Also our resources are taking a direct hit. Our oil production has hit the max at a turning point when the world keeps demanding more energy. Also we use oil for more than just gasoline. Most plastics are oil based, and once we run out of oil, there won't be any plastic.
Then the major world leaders go, "Oh, no, we can't stop using fossil fuels. That's bad for economy!"
First of all, SCREW THE ECONOMY! Would you rather ride a bike to work or die?
Second of all, we would actually help the economy by not using fossil fuels. Creating and running renewable energy sources takes money and jobs. A wind turbine just doesn't randomly pop up in the middle of a desert by itself does it?
So please think about it. Try to save resources.
1. Turn off devices when you're not using them. Don't just put them standby mode.
2. Get rid of the Hummer etc. It's not cool to kill the environment is it? And if you really want a Hummer, you can get them converted to hybrids and also get them to run on grease etc.
3. Don't waste. Most industrialized countries are extremely careless. They don't care about their items because they can just "buy a new one." That'll be funny when we run out of resources to make a new one.

Please just be responsible and help keep our world alive.

Whooo... Glad to get that off my mind. And remember, follow my directions, or kill your future generation.
