Are we doing enough to save the planet?

[songchunlai]

Abundant productivity will produce a higher level of technology, and a higher level of technology can save the planet. Before artificial nuclear fusion became commonplace, it was futile to talk about saving the planet.

We are not doing enough to save the planet but we are doing more then enough to destroy it. With the same pace, i think we would be able to make this planet uninhabitable in the next 500 years. All the ecosystems are already disturbed and our signs(garbage) can be traced to even the Mariana trench. Unless someone comes up with a planet saving strategy, i m afraid this is not going to the right direction.

"The planet" will be fine without us humans but NO us humans are not doing enough to preserve our habitat.

Some fun while we're anthropomorphising earth...

"The planet" will be fine without us humans profiteers who have raped the earth but NO us humans profiteers who have raped the earth are not doing enough to preserve our habitat.

Fixed that for you

It sure is easier to believe the big bad industrial complex is responsible but they serve those of us who consume.

Though your statement is valid in part as well.

Tech, power, clothing, food, waste---I'll assume anyone with the resources to post here is participating in all that.



Maybe if we lived in small abodes, grew our own food, walked everywhere we went (or a least worked closer to home) ect.

I am completely self sufficient so qualified to comment but yes you do have a point in that those who partake of the goods and services downstream right through to consumption are partially responsible through their willing or unwilling collaboration ...This is the way societies find themselves without choices later on down the line when the same people who created the chaos bring about the solutions by refusing to step outside their boxes and live self sufficient lifestyles in whatever manner they can.

Thats coming for plebs but not for those who profited from the destruction.

We are not doing enough to save our planet. The speedy spread of technology has made it impossible to save our planet. How can we control the smoke of factories and vehicles that are polluting our world? How shall we control the wastage materials of factories that are polluting see life? This is a very serious issue. It can not be controlled by the only individual but at the world level, it is essential to put attention to this matter.
All Govt of the countries and UNA should take prompt and solid action for the prevention of pollution to save our planet.

[hornetsnest]

The people telling you that you are not doing enough to save the planet are the very people who are destroying it with their larger than life carbon footprint while making bank trading the very carbon credits they proposed as a solution. Their offspring will prosper in the new economy while your offspring will become paupers ....or so they think

While infrastructure and technology keeps advancing, our natural resources suffer. Sure there are people who tries to save our planet by diving into the water and collecting trash, or encouraging anyone to recycle or stop using plastic. But is it enough? If it is, then why are we still experiencing climate change? Could this be the start of the destruction of our planet?

The world can't be distroyed,  transformation of climate change can be natural. The world itself is transforming, things are around us are not the same as before. All this changes occuring we can't even explain the cause for it. The world can't be distroyed

Which is the high price we have to pay to have all these infrastructures to beautify our cities but for resource sustainability we need to find materials which could be renewable to allow the younger generations to have something to use when the time comes.

There are so many wrongs we humans keep doing that hurts our environment, if we want change it has to start with you and me! If you can plant a tree do so, if you can participate in collecting plastics,trash all this will make a difference in the long run.

I have circumnavigated the planet the last few days and see many earthquakes and volcanoes in places where the almighty God has been slandered and offended. The "experts" will tell you it is due to "global warming" of course to divert attention away from their wickedness which is bringing the righteous wrath of the almighty upon mankind

Let the atheist scoff at hell on the day he is presented to it.

Amen to that
