well the whole sum up of the pollution problem and bad resource management is people as a whole need to change. People - all of us - need to realize what the crude realities of life are, example years ago one would save up money for say a stereo system, it would be a costly article compared to ones wage and considered an investment, now naturally we all like things to be cheaper, so what do corporations say ? oh the silly d!ck heads of our customers lets produce stuff that is a tenth the quality will last one fifthieth the time and cost one fifth. So what happens we all run out and grab these cheap (and disgustingly low quality) articles of any nature electronic, food, clothing anything made today - cars, we will find that we just buy and chuck, buy and chuck we are such wasteful and greedy beings that we only think of right now not of the long term so we now produce much more use more energy produce more waste ecc that is not neccesary and don't give a damn about it. I have equipment and tools that belonged to my father and grandfather that still work perfectly after all these years how long do modern tools last ?
We used to eat more veg but no now we are rich fat pigs we want meat all the time, it takes 4 Kg of cereals fed to a cow to get 1 Kg of steak and there are no more nutrients in the 1 Kg of steak than there are in the 1 Kg of cereal. Oh and then people go and say ooooh global warming hot houses gases they are caused by all these cows farting, what a stupid exscuse and if it were remotely true lets eat less meat.
the list is endless I compiled a number of enery saving tips in a long rant (not half long enough yet) on my site:
The future between renewable energy and pollution let me know your comments on it I want to organize it a bit better and extend it
