"As we continue to take actions like this we continue to see that how we are currently doing things simply cannot be sustained. This type of issue does not just reflect how we treat nature but also reflects how we operate as a whole. If money wasn’t so important, we wouldn’t be finding unnatural ways to do everything on this planet. If we weren’t so concerned with maintaining an economy, issues such as these wouldn’t affect us. This is all a perfect lesson for us to ask “what the heck are we doing to our planet?” We are at a point where our very survival is now threatened because we are fighting so hard to maintain a system we all don’t like anyway."
I have never been able to understand why humans have become so absorbed and consumed with the thought of money, so much in fact that our obsession has diverted us away from recognizing the true beauty that constantly surrounds us. Why do we find large amounts of money and materialistic items as being more stimulative and exciting than the vast oceans, beautiful species of plants and animals, large mountains, and lush forests? Not only that, but why has our obsession caused us to neglect the care of Earth? Our dear Earth has made everything possible; we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the environment. shelter, food, water, and nutrients it provides us with.
When it really comes down to everything, you become very aware of the fact that humans' greed and obsession with money is the largest contributor in the destruction of the Earth. Companies desire money so bad that they destroy forests, kill animals, irresponsibly use important and natural resources, and create products full of harmful or deadly chemicals.
There are a lot of challenges that environmentalists face. Perhaps one of the biggest challenge is getting people to recognize that money is not more important than the environment.
With that being said, I hope you all realize what important role you have in changing this unfortunate occurrence. Change starts with us.
