Do we think the rest of the world cares about what goes into the air as pollution ? Especially our oil adversaries ! Of course not , because it is all about money !
Do you think that consumerism has slowed down any in its efforts to avoid additional oil expenditures , of course not , why , because it's all about the money !
I often wonder how much of our resources were sucked into plastics!
Some of the dumbest thing I am now witnessing is people ripping apart decent homes in order to make them "Green Homes" , isn't it better to leave good enough left alone ? People are gutting homes of materials that haven't even worn out ! Gutting and refacing homes sending more material to landfills at twice the rate now because of a brought on guilty conscience ! Kind of oxymoron ideals if you ask me ! these people do not want their homes to sit in a landfill and pollute yet that is the very thing they are doing ? People removing mass amounts of Sheetrock? why is Sheetrock a problem it is gypsum a naturally occurring substance ? And the wood that holds this sheet rock, gone , to expand these larger more sophisticate green homes ! so now deforestation is twice the rate because the wood is ripped out and destroyed and unsalvageable in many cases because of wreckless home conversions ! Many people excuse these efforts in order to say they are adding newer biodegradable insulation made of cotton fibers , Great ! now the price of a plain white t-shirt just went up and people who need clothes on their backs just had another resource taken away ! Do people know that if you live in an air tight home you can suffocate !
I am getting so irate with the way this world is portrayed! And even more Irate that many take this portrayal seriously !
We always struggle at the table talking about conserving oil and resources and the only thing it ever does is cause a hysteria and people do the exact opposite , it is one thing to feel uncomfortable with the environment around you it is another thing when your environment "is" actually uncomfortable and we know this but do you see real changes ? We took real action when : children had lead exposure , people suffered asbestos exposure etc. but do we take this same care about our resources , No! We worry about cigarette smoke exposure and have banned smoking in many areas , pubs, restaurants , bars , cars ! The health effects are deleterious , but when we talk about carbon emissions we do nothing , we don't make cars smaller or tell people that riding a dirt bike or ATV has adverse health effects or that using a rototiller or weed wacker in the garden poses health risks right ? 2 stroke machines don't count right? No one even want to fathom the idea that their generators are gas guzzlers too! Sports and recreation do not count in conservation , right ! What about NASCAR ? Such a good way to exploit the death and taxes & those who dies so they can race like the idiots they are , sucking up fuel as a past time ! L.A. complains about smog and thousands sit in an arena sucking up exhaust like it's nothing ! Such a contradictory world we live in ! I cannot sit here and honestly say anything good about the future , the world is too hypocritical ! Newtons Law ! For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction ! contradictions are contradictions! This is the permanent state of the world we live in , I suppose the only thing we can do is get over it already, right !
