Will there be a revolution of environmentalism and....?

Question

anti-capitalism/coporatisation/globalisation/materialism/consumerism

because I think there needs to be one. The end-game of capitalism= mcds as restaurant choice. The end game of not fighting for the environment is extinction of species and habitats and obviously the quality of life for all. I am getting the impression from answers so far of people a bit conditioned by capitalism. It has a huge connection with the environment. It was born in the industrial revolution where people can from the lands to build cities and factories. Corporations (largely US) are infiltrating every country in the world and raping and pillaging- who do you think are 'mining' the rainforests in SA. The whole EU community thing is engineered by corporations, one currency workers within the union can work anywhere in Europe they have even made the railway gauges standard so that corporations have no obstacles to 'globalisation'= corporations having global presences

In response to the idea in the answers (which I appreciate of course) that corporations are doing things for the environment. Seriously they have fleeced you. I am involved in corporate law I have an idea of what goes on. These banks that donate money to save the whales or whatever, its just public relations to make you think they aren't so bad. They are all a big part of the reason for the environmental devastation and they will keep going so long as the dollar prevails over integrity and doing the right thing. Governments the world over kowtow to the dollar its almost universal. Don't be fooled, these are clever people that are after that dollar, they are like the pac man trying to eat one coin at a time and they are deviously working at how to do it at any cost, to lives (ie war) to environment. To anything. Greed is THE destructive force in the world today

Answer 1

Environmentalism is getting a bad reputation from the religion of global warming. People don't like to be lied to or scammed, and when you have to make stuff up just to get attention, you lose credibility.

Answer 2

dont know about a revolution. though it is definitely being taken more seriously. there has been a huge rise in environmentalism over the past few years. governments are pushing for environmentally-friendly products. even corporations that benefit directly or indirectly from the environment (eg, logging, mining and so on) are looking for better ways to manufacture products and to ensure a better environment. though of course you'll still have many companies who focus on on their paychecks instead.

so yea, maybe not a revolution. but there definitely is a significant rise already.

oh an about my question you answered just now,
with technology i mean all the new tochnology such as radars, radios and more than have been invented during wars and now are benefiting us.
in political balance/balace of power, i mean using wars to overthrow leaders who are bent on the destruction of other countries or stuff like that. examples like removing saddam from power. or the leader of north korea. remove leaders like that so there is a balance in the world. no leaders who other countries have to fear like that.

sorry if my choice of words are weak.

Answer 3

I don't think exactly a revolution, but there will be no choice but to take environmental issues more seriously. I don't think this will go against capitalism or corporatisation, it is just that the capitalist and corporate bodies will have to be more environmentally aware and sensitive. They will have to incorporate social responsibility in their set-ups. It has begun and it's a good thing.

Answer 4

only if the brain dead and uneducated are leading it and they are followed by the brain dead and uneducated......

actually now that i think about it the idea seems more and more likely.
