We only have one planet; we are not owners, merely caretakers for our children.

“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.”

Some 15.3 Billion tree's are cut down each & every year.

Trees grow back... but plastic is forever.

For all the people who love to eat meat, I wonder if you all eat this:
- liver
- kidney
- pancreas/spleen
- brain
- testicles

For all the folks who complain about climate change, I wonder how often you use your air conditioner? How much TV do you watch?

Meme's are nice.

But how are any of you contributing to making things better?

@JoeyFoxx I buy & preserve woodland. I use recycled materials as much as possible. I upcycle most of my things. I avoid plastic. I don't watch TV. I don't have AC as I've the garden outside & woodland to walk in.

@L33TH4X0R I wonder about others...
L33TH4X0R · 41-45, M
@JoeyFoxx I also don't believe in climate change.

As for the others; I think humanity needs to change & we need people, not Government to do it.

@L33TH4X0R
I also don't believe in climate change.

Can you elaborate?
L33TH4X0R · 41-45, M
@JoeyFoxx Plastic is not forever...well at least some plastics. Science has found that a bacterium known as 'Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6' eats plastic (PET) plastics to be more accurate; these plastics are common with single use & drinks bottles etc.

Plastic can also be put to use in other ways.

Plastics can be reused & upcycled into anything & everything. Humanity wastes such a lot. There was a UK company turning waste plastic into roadways. Almost as good as tarmac.

@JoeyFoxx Climate Change is happening; but humanity isn't the driver.
JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M
@L33TH4X0R I suppose "forever" is a bit of an exaggeration... though most plastics will survive multiple human generations.

Humans are good at waste. Waste is catching up to us and we need to rethink.

I'm still not sure what you mean by not believing in climate change.

@L33TH4X0R
humanity isn't the driver.

I am curious what you believe the driver is.

I am also curious why you care so much about sustainability.

@JoeyFoxx There are several things driving climate change. Humanity causes little to no effect on the overall planet. People routinely use the theory that the ice caps are melting & the planet is heating. It's also doing the same thing on other planets; is humanity heating them also?
The ice caps are melting & the planet is warming because the planet is exiting from the last ice age. People blame CO2 when in fact the highest levels of CO2 that has been measured to date actually equates to 415ppl; that is tiny. The sky & atmosphere is HUGE & 415ppm is nothing. Also on the subject of CO2 levels; fossil records attest to the fact that not too long ago the oxygen was double it is now & CO2 has already been as high as 4000ppm...over 10x the level it is now; guess what, the world didn't end!

These same idiots who claim the world will flood!!! When the ice caps melt are idiots & scaremongers of the highest order. The Ice caps were formed at the last ice age. In old times Antarctica was a tropical rainforest. People seem to focus on the size of the ice caps (big), & ignore the bleeding obvious; the size of the oceans (fucking huge).

If the ice caps melted tomorrow all at once; yeah it could be disastrous, not because the coasts will flood. The ice caps melting would actually only add a few inches to sea levels on a global scale. What would be bad is the cooling of the water could disrupt the oceans natural currents as well as the desalination process.

Cows produce more CO2 than humans do. (most through burping)
The 5 biggest ships on Earth produce more CO2 than all the cars on Earth combined.
Deforestation adds billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. A tree absorbs it & stores it. When it's cut down & dies, the CO2 is then released back. If you stop cutting trees down, you reduce the CO2 levels.

Hemp actually consumes CO2 & doesn't release it back. Acre for acre it also absorbs more CO2 than trees do. New trees must wait to develop before they start capturing CO2 but Hemp doesn't need to wait. With Hemp you also get 4 seasons of continual growth per year. You can cut it for use & it will carry on re-growing unlike trees.

If "global warming" was a thing they'd kill the cows, stop cutting down trees, plant hemp, stop making plastics & stop polluting...their 'solution' is "TAX" proving to everyone but the idiots that it's a scam.

What are they going to do with cash? Is mother nature holding them to ransom?

Cash is not a solution.
