Places where someone might think there is no pollution at all, seem to be polluted as some of the worst (known) polluted areas in the world. “Extraordinary” levels of pollution have been found 10 km deep in the Mariana Trench. (1)
The world is One.
And no matter how much we like to think otherwise…
A can of beer is always there to remind us the truth.
Less pollution will lead to 2.2 million less deaths. (1)
I wonder. What kind of “prediction model” was used for such a “prediction”?
How stupid must some think we are? “Do that and N million lives will be saved”. How would you grade such a “conclusion” if it was written by a student during exams?
A Kansas State University research team has found that despite humans increasing nitrogen production through industrialization, nitrogen availability in many ecosystems has remained steady for the past 500 years. Their work appears in the journal Nature. [1]
Building, polluting, creating factories and yet… zero result.
If I recall correctly, insects have more effect on the planet’s ecosystem.
Trying your whole life to destroy the planet, to show you are important and then suddenly realizing that your are nothing more than a beatle…
The pressures of severe air pollution have prompted China’s environmental watchdog to consider pushing forward a legal ban on barbecues in densely populated urban areas. (1)
Ecology is a trend.
But most of all, ecology is an excuse!
Because after all, which one of the two below do you really believe is to blame for the pollution in Beijing?
Notice the evil eyes of that lady who tries to cook her meal without giving a damn for the global-scale climate devastation she will inflict on us all, thus leading the deaths of thousands of millions of people!
Look at the same time see the excellently organized and idyllic factory which produces “useful stuff” with the minimum possible effect on the environment…
The first, will be banned and pointed at as “Guilty”. The latter will continue to operate without any restrictions. Ecology is the excuse large companies use to make profit and pollute, while passing their guilt to other.
And to whom are they going to pass it to?
But who else? The only ones who cannot protest! The ones who can easily accept their role. Masses are easily affected and manipulated. And companies know that.
YES! Ecology is something good! And we should all be in harmony with Nature, we should all be ecologists!
But we should continue doing BBQ!
We should continue using air-conditions if we feel hot!
We should continue using fast cars if we want to go fast.
And we should stop thinking that we are the ones to blame!
We are not!
Even if I recycle my plastic cup for the nect 60 years (let’s hope I live this long), my personal contribution to the environment’s salvation will be the 0.00000000000000000000001% of the contribution that the installation of filters in ONE industry in China will have…
