What are we going to do now? A question about?

Question

We try to help the enviremont, but what use is it if China and Japan and all those countries keep building monstrously huge factories with such a huge co2, that whatever we do to help is completely useless? We know what might happen: The Netherlands will disappear, species of the most wonderful kind will get extinct. It's enough to drive you mad. Which is no use either. I'm already a vegetarian(I heard this helps the animals, the enviremont and poor countries) but I don't think it's enough. So what are all people who want to help really badly supposed to do? What's the big plan? How are we going to be sure that the place where i'm typing this(middle of the south of holland) isn't going to be by the coast in a few years?

Answer 1

Kind of like beating your head against the wall to get it to move isn't it? Until everyone starts to care and can come together as a unified force, you will just keep beating your head.......... How do you get everyone to do more about it?

Answer 2

That's a lot to be worried about, too much. First off, let me persuade you to eat meat again. Being vegetarian won't solve anything. It won't make cows, chickens, or pigs extinct because we raise them and breed them just to eat them. I know, it sounds sad, but that's the circle of life. We are meant to eat meat because we have carnivorous teeth. You don't see tigers going vegan because they feel bad for the poor antelopes, do you? We need meat in our diets. I'm not trying to force you to stop being a vegetarian, though, because that is subject to one's own choice.

Day by day, we are destroying the world. One person will not make an impact. The only way we can put an end to it is if enough people stop everything that ruins our planet. This will never happen. War won't cease because it's tearing up the atmosphere. Transportation won't become environment friendly because it is a huge investment that will cost major companies billions of dollars that we don't have. People being mindless about conservation, that'll never stop. I'm sorry to say it, but not enough people are for the cause, I doubt that even a fifth of the world would make a major impact.

Answer 3

vegetarianism is more of a moral and health choice. since animals create co2 and plants get rid of it, going vegetarian and eating our oxygen producers is not really going to help in that respect, except maybe in reducing th demand for meat animals and conservation of land otherwise used to rear them...
currently we haven't got a workable plan. we're accelerating towards the point of no return and while it might seem like a good idea to go green suddenly, that's just not possible, not without turning th world on it's head and leading to a lot more problems including some serious food and medical crisis in the short term that would kill of a sizable chunk of the world population. we grew too big sitting in tight corner instead of moving to a place where we had room to grow, and we're about to pay for unless we all start doing something major right now.
the flooding of the netherlands should take at least a decade to start on the phase you fear. if it does start, move.

Answer 4

So what we should do (Now!) is persuade china and japan
that "the monstously huge factories" come with an environmental price-and a price we all have to pay- so lets
work together(even with an imperfect United nations)to
learn-from-our-mistakes;
So i think what we as individuals can do is to practically
support those who care and work for the environment;
better still, do something practical for our area,our world,
however small;and also try to be as economical at-home as
we think the politicians/industry leaders should be doing
with the countries energy supplies(and with as small a waste
as reasonably possible).

Answer 5

Yes the END is near... but then again it always has been hasn't it? Everyone needs to be more aware I agree.. I try to do my part to help recycle, I have turned anti-consumerism (buy what you need, not what you want) I plant trees and green up where I can. At least I feel a little better I am doing something!
