Outside of a few people here and there, most of us live only 100 years, if that. Since the saving of our health doesn't seem to increase the saving of our life very much, maybe we are totally going about it in the wrong way.
And its a good practice - I like those people who dont waste water. I have seen people who have mangers putting the sink waste water to the toilet so they do not flush clean water.
All right. If everything needs saving, what does it all need saving from? Some form of destruction that we don't really know much of anything about, and that we can barely see or find? What is this destruction?
Isn't the destruction death? I mean, what good does saving the planet do for you after you are dead? Do you think that you can feel stuff in the grave, or after you have been cremated? Are you really smart enough to know what is best for your family and all the other families in the future? And once you are gone, do you really think that you will be able to feel proud about yourself because you helped someone?
People don't even know the laws of physics well enough to know if they are doing a good job of saving anything. And it is even more difficult when a person has to sort all of the propaganda and lies out of it to know what is real.
The best anyone can do is prepare his children for a life that helps them in their little piece of living that they do. Forget saving the planet. At least forget it until you can save yourself from death. You can't do it, anyway.
Some people are so concern about the planet that they even care for their carbon foot prints.
Even I know someone - they walk bear food. Even on airports and in the aircraft - I dont know why but they do
They say that the population of the earth is 8 billion, now. Where will we get food to feed everybody? More CO2 helps the plants grow better. It's common knowledge in may books... and in use in greenhouses where they add CO2 to help the plants grow better.
Big money people want the population to be reduced so they have an easier time of ruling over people. So they make up the story that CO2 is bad for the planet. If they can get the CO2 to stop, maybe people will starve to death for lack of food.
The only reason why anybody thinks about their carbon footprint is because they were trained to think about it through advertising by big money. They think about it, but haven't done the experimenting themselves to see how it really works. They just believe. It's their religion.
Meanwhile, they miss the religion in life that is important, Christianity.
