So....I do consider myself to be fairly "earth conscious" and consider myself a citizen of the world. However, sometimes I start to think to myself that it may be easier to live in a bubble as 99% of the people around me like to do, and do so very well.
Case in point- I ran across this website today and it scares me. Note how often the US blips orange as we consume 1000 tonnes of CO2. I could cry.
This is going to sound awful, and it may be, but I have to say it anyway. Notice how much faster the tally of births climbs than the tally of deaths? Do we honestly need an ever-growing world population? I think not. It's about time that more people start breeding responsibly. It's about time to start educating the world on the effect that species over-population will have on an environment over time. It won't be long before deaths exceed births- and it won't be due to less births.
Yup....I need a bubble.
