Why do most people not care about enviroment issues?

Answer 1

My experience is that most people do care about environmental issues.

In fact I would say that most people appear to have very strong opinions about environment issues and really do care about those issues.

Just because not everyone agrees with you on an environmental issue does not mean that they do not care about environmental issues.

One of the main reasons is because lazyness.
If people care about the enviroment they run the risk of interfering with the convience that comes with living in this modern age. People are so lazy they are poisoning both themselves and the enviroment! Processed food is easier and faster, but it's also incredibly unhealthy and the processing of the food poisons the enviroment with pollution and thickens the O-zone layer's carbon. Driving is the same. People will drive to get to places they could easily walk to in about 10 minutes because it's faster. Other than hurting the enviroment with gas emissions they're getting fat and lazy.

Unfortunatly one of the other reasons is because it's 'cool' not to care.
If you care you can't buy that hummer that shows off how rich you are but also burns 100x more fuel than a normal car.
If you care you can't go on crazy shopping sprees and buy 100s of new outfits. TONS of carbon goes into manufacturing goods, and if people care they can't fufill their greed.

So basically if everyone stopped being lazy and greedy Global Warming wouldn't be a problem in a couple of years.

I think a lot of people do care but from my own experiences, the environmental information that is easy to follow/understand usually seems to be hard to find and not advertised enough which can turn a lot of people away from this issue.

I have lots of info that I think you will find quite helpful and enlightening:

Answer 6

Because it's easier than admitting we have major problems.
If the sheeple took the time to educate themselves, then they would be forced to take action, and that might mean getting up off the couch, or giving up the Hummer.

What did jesus tell us about protecting our planet Earth.Most people believe god will make everything alright.
