RE: WHAT IS HUMANKINDS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NATURAL WORLD?
Pesticides and conventional farming is a form of control on nature which creates more problems down the track. Our pesticides kill bees etc etc etc and pests become resistent. We were given a seed, water ,light and earth, how is this not enough. I could rant for a long time but couldn't agree more with your post about science and technology. Hopefully people become more aware of the issues of mass production and greed. I love meat but it is truly not sustainable. People whinge about vegans, but to be honest, if we all ate plant based products the world would be a better place. It is not sustainable to wipe out vast amounts of rainforest, feed animals with so much grain, create excessive waste and use animals for profit. There are many arguments from all sides but even though I still eat meat, it does seem wrong in our current situation. Our society consume and consume. Over sized houses, excessive toys, phones, computers, and so on. Companies design for obsoleteness, making us consume more and creating more waste. The whole world has to change, it makes it hard when very few are educated in the overall picture or either don't have any say what so ever;) plato's cave is a great analogy of the world today. The media/government views are projected into our minds making us believe a view of a completley different world that surrounds us. No wonder our kids lose touch with our environment.
Great response @imperialaussie, thank you for that. You should write a post about it, it's a great way to get those feeling out and hopefully reach some others with it too.
I agree you,some have been moving in the wrong direction, but luckily not all. We do need to stay positive and active, to me that is the key. There are so many people out there who hold respect for their environment and one another, and being on here has opened my eyes even more to that.
