I mean, hey, we were all fine and dandy back in 1999, but oh no!, a bunch of diplomacy-holding brains wearing white lab coats announced that what were doing is bad! Now we immediately shun the guy who drives the giant monster truck that spews up a couple hundred pounds of carbon dioxide a day. It makes me sick to think that almost all people parade around declaring that they're "eco-friendly". Well I, for one, declare that that's a load of crap. We're only trying to stop global warming and climate change cause all of us were scared shitless after watching th movie The Day After Tomorrow. No one wants to die from a giant tsunami engulfing New York or from hurricanes, tornadoes, twisters, and whatever else name we give to those giant spirals of air.
The word "eco-friendly" and "environmental" really irritates me... Mostly because people misuse those words like hell... Hey! I drive a electric car that's eco-friendly! I'm doing my part in cutting down on carbon emissions... How about you just use those two long extensions of bone and flesh from your body, otherly known as your legs. It really simple, just put one foot out, then add weight to it, and put the other foot out. Repeat this process... and hey, you learned how to walk! If you truly want to be "eco-friendly" why don't you just strip naked and live in the rain forest? If our primate relatives can do it, why can't we? Just swing on trees to get around and eat only leaves/fruit that we happen to find on the floor. Now that's the best way to stop the killing of the Earth, am I right? Hey, let's do that instead of wasting billions of dollars trying to develop some sort of corn gas or water car. Way more simple, right?
Back in seventh grade, I read a certain college book whose name I've forgotten, which happened be about exactly what I'm talking about. Unsurprisingly, the book was a psychological/social science book, where talked about what COULD happen to society if we took away our cars, our gasoline, our TVs, cellphones, computers... whatever that makes us a modern civilization. Truth be told, the book riveted me, and is one of the many foundations for my thinking. I'll try to dig it back up somewhere.
All and all, I'm not saying that it's bad people are finally getting their heads outta their asses and trying to prolong "Mother Nature". I'm just saying that it's a bit delayed, isn't it?
