People are starving, children are dying, people are living out of boxes and our engery source is slowly being devoured by ever country on the planet. Why do we chose to look the other way? Why do we continue to live our fruritful lives while others are dying? Even while we know that there is SO much we can do, just from our homes?

do you live in the USA? well i think that we should take care of our own first unlike what we currently do! we need to stop spending billions upon billions of American dollars over seas and our space projects and take care of home first ..... then worry about everything else..... the USA should not have a homless population muchless starving familes!

Many people chose to bury thier heads in the sand and ignore what's going of it it doesn't personally affect them. Many others feel that they have too much going on in their own lives to help others (these people don't realize how much can be done with very little effort). Some others chose to believe that other people will help. Sadly, there are those who simply don't care. People do need to realize that what harms one harms us all.

Because people dont like to change or admit that anything is wrong. This goes from the personal level all the way up to the general public. If it doesn't affect me directly, Im going to ignore it because all it will do is bring me down, since I know my small contribution cannot stop it.
And the people that have the power and wealth will do ANYTHING to keep it.

we cant be blamed for whats happening to people who are starving and dieing. these things are natural, it happens to animals and humans are not exception from this struggle.
i don't think we are ignoring the global issue. countries have come together to tackle this problem. but the problem is that we are so used to producing these gases that it would take time to put an end to it.
if you want to make a change start with your self. take the public transport when going to work. don't waste alot of energy such as gas, electricity...etc

people choose to worry about there little world , whats going on in there life and not the bigger picture , we are all killing the earth and one day it will be too late to do anything about it .
people choose to make stupid comments as there way of laughing off the real problems that face every living thing on this planet .
God help us all.....

Most people only think about themselves and those immediately around them. Thats what humans and animals are like.

Because if it's not directly affecting them, they don't see the problem that will eventually make its way to them.
Out of sight, out of mind.

Because people think they can't do anything, so they choose to ignore it rather than try (and fail) to change it.

I guess they are too preoccipied from their own personal problems and sometimes people don't realize how lucky they are.
