The Environment
Can I just comment briefly on how fucking stupid the world is? Only our species can cause so much damage to destroy and entire planet. Only we can elect leaders that are willing to destroy our way of life for a few millions dollars. Only humans can ignore very simple and logistical ways to help improve our environment. Oh I am soooo proud.
Bush is skeptical about global warming. Has Texas just fried his brain to the point where he can’t take a look at pictures of glaciers from the 1920’s, and compare them with the same glaciers today and not see that they are virtually 80% gone? Or is he too stupid to realize that ice melts due to HEAT?
Oh and lets talk about the logging industry. Because I LOVE THEM (sarcasm). I heard a story once, I don’t know if it’s true or not, that Marijuanna was originally made illegal because of the gross amount of environmental benefits, such as virtually replacing the logging industry with hemp paper. The very rich and very influencial logging industries wouldn’t have it. Again, just something I heard, but I wouldn’t be surprised. Comparing Marijuanna to Alcohol, it just doesn’t make sense that alcohol isn’t illegal as well.
Tree Free Greeting cards, uses paper made from the Kenaf plant found in Africa. Not does it grow faster than trees, but is probably cheaper to harvest, and is such a step forward in helping to save our environment and our trees, so that trees can help clean our already polluted air.
Every day the majority of people in the world, and yes I have been guilty of this too (but at least I’m trying to make a difference), are using harmful cleaning products on their bodies, on their tables, their floors, and then flushing them down the drain, to eventually be spewed into the ocean. Websites like Care2, give plenty of alternatives for virtually anything, from cleaning products, to toothpaste, shampoo, etc.
But do people care about this? No. Put it in the back of your mind, pretend it isn’t happening. Why should you care? You’re going to die in another 60 years or so. Our children will probably be the same way. And the ‘tree huggers’ will still get picked on for being too ‘worried’ about the environment. And the people who are too lazy to take their trash home instead of throwing it out the car window, or think it’s ‘uncool’ to support the environmentalists, can just bite my ass.
It’s more about power, less about survival.
SO THAT’S MY RANT FOR TODAY.

Yes, very well said. Why can’t there be more people like you in the world?
