Answer 2

Well, in answer to your first question, part of the blame lies with the christian religion which teaches either directly or indirectly that since christians will one day be taken up into heaven then they dont have to worry about how they leave their home planet. The other part can be blamed on the materialist attitude of profit at any cost. Combined, theyre having a devastating effect on mother earth. Now as for your second question. You can help by walking whenever possible, not leaving lights on unneccessarily or wasting water. Recycle what you can when you can. The same goes for reusing what you can when you can.

Answer 3

I think many people think that they won't make a difference so why would they put in an extra effort?... this is sooo not true! every little bit helps but I think most people feel that if they don't recycle someone else will or they feel it's just easier to waste our planet :( since many people feel they won't make a difference, they don't but the problem is that if everyone thinks this way then our planet and it's resources will be watsed rather quickly! Everyone needs to do something even if it's small like recycling, turning off lights when they aren't being used or maybe the biggest one of all...WALK sometimes! we don't need to drive to the store a block away or circle the parking lot to find a closer spot... people just need to walk more and drive less! :o)

Answer 4

People take things for granted. That simple. Many dont give a hoot anout anything unless it concerns them. Most are uneducated on the fact that global warming DOES exist and is very real. It is unfortunate that a majority of humans dont understand whats really happening or they think people are plain stupid for caring about our planet which gives us our OXYGEN... Mow if the OXYGEN LEVELS EVER DEPLETED... I BET THEN this is when EVERYONE would want to take some sort of action into fixing it although by then it would be too late. People just take things for granted and dont realize it untill something that they care about or need to use isnt there anymore and its pretty sad. I recycle as much as i can and reuse things as much as possible. I care about the future of my children and well will the earth be able to provide for them.

Answer 5

Well,it's because some people are soooo un natural that they must destroy anything natural even if it's what sustains their existence.
They can't help themselves.
They would rather breath through a fancy shmancy air filter that they invented than to just breath clean fresh air.
That way they can show everyone how smart they are!
In the meantime ,those of us who can't afford the filters are thinking man what idiots these people are for destroying their only source of air.It's like a smoker that has a cough but figures he will handle it tomorrow.Them the emphysema sets in.
Does that help?

Answer 6

Olivia, you answered your own question and didn't even realize it. That is part of why people do not respect the planet: they have no idea regarding the consequences of their actions.

Your actions for example. How do YOU damage the planet every day?

You like a guy ... do you talk to him in person or use the comp and the phone? Do you realize how much electricity you are using to communicate electronically. How much effort would it take to walk to his house? Or for him to walk to yours

You do your homework ... on the computer? a calculator? Is it solar powered?

And the absolute worst of all ... you take a vacation every summer. Every summer you get in a car or plane and travel to somewhere different than you live. You do this strictly for your enjoyment. It accomplishes nothing else. Less than 100 years ago the trip you take every summer and think nothing of would have taken the entire summer just to get there and back either on foot or on horseback.

The more you depend on machines to do things for you, the more harm you do to yourself and the planet. But we depend on our machines so much that we CAN'T stop using them. So the only thing we can do now is to try to create better machines that don't harm the planet. Then we can allow the Earth to heal herself.

In the meantime, the only thing you can do is avoid doing things using machines that burn a lot of gas or a lot of electricity. And avoid using machines just for recreation. For example, powerboats ... a canoe is less exciting, but a lot more relaxing. Don't you go on vacation to relax after all? So if you use a machine to entertain yourself you are wasting our planet.

So how can YOU, Olivia, save the planet?

Try to be as responsible as possible for the actions you take that could harm the environment. Study hard, learn about how the environment works. Doctors study for many years to understand how all the systems in your body work .. but no one studies that hard to understand how our environment works. You could be on the leading edge. Stay in school study hard and, last but not least, contribute more than you take.

Answer 7

Greed, and the desire to make a living, regardless of the long term cost.
Like it or not, your presence is as much a point of cruelty if you live like the majority of the people. Anything you throw away, such as an old cell phone, only adds to the abuse. Living on as basic a level as you can would help, and be less stressful to the planet. It has been proven that electronic items tossed in the garbage are leaching contaminants into the earth that poison it. So, talk about it as you may, you are as guilty of the cruelty you mention as the worst litter bug in the world.

Answer 8

Its not about being mean to the planet, its about humans thinking they can get away with polluting the earth, forever. Its about big money, its about corporations inventing dangerous chemicals for medicines because they cant patent natural plant cures, then its about all those chemicals ending up in humans, passing through us into the sewer systems and waterways......its about those same chemicals causing frogs and fish to mutate into 3 legged monstrosities, its about fish having waaay too much oestrogen from extcreted human foods and drinks that there are now sharks and dolphins that dont need males to reproduce......its about mega corporations like Monsanto adding growth hormones to the human food chain, its about money and capitalist corruption on a massive scale. Basically its about products and consumerism, overpopulation and greed. Obviously its also about the trillions of tons of smoke, dust, nitrates, sulphides, carcinogens and smog that corporate plants and private cars pump into the sky 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I admire your stance but its a friggin humungus problem and you cannot win, not alone anyway...... in fact there are many many reports online that those who control the worlds wealth and pull the strings behind the puppet presidents have got a few surprises for the human race in the near future, and its something along the lines of population reduction. Research a man named Pianka and see what you make of his views.

Answer 9

Most people are so cruel because they arent really conscious about their actions. They dont realize that they are affecting themselves by not caring about even the smallest things....like using less enrgy by unpluging appliances that arent being used, or by simply recycling. It really isnt hard, but for most people it isnt convenient, and most people like convienience. The fact is that people are sometimes lazy and rely on companies to make everything much easier.

If u want to save the planet be more resourceful, use less paper, re use bottle waters, dont wash that often especially ur jeans. try to get a low impact shower head, and dont take hot hot showers. recycle everthing u can, and dont use chemical cleaners around your house. these are but a few, change ur lightbulb here is a website to get compact flouresent bulbs.

Answer 10

Because human beings are selfish. Because nature is magnanimous and until the very moment it releases its wrath, our human beings will regret and make resipiscence.

When it comes to save our planet people can be respectful or careless. The only way is to do your best everyday, for example, pick up a plastic bag or bottle and recycle ( there is an enormous amount of ways to make our planet better!) The other one is to motivate others to join you, do not ever give up, it always our duty to pay our mother nature back as much as possible because she is too beatiful and paintful.
