"The United States contains just 5% of the world's population yet we consume 25% of its resources and produce 30% of its waste. While this has afforded us an unprecedented standard of living it has come at a tremendous cost to the planet and our fellow inhabitants in the developing world. This simply cannot last, and therefore will not last, but the less resources we use now the more there will be available for the future of all of humanity - including your own loved ones and offspring."

we have violated spaceship earth ?

--we are a product OF spaceship earth--, and we are doing what our DNA is driving us to do. ANYTHING humans do, is what is going to happen, and it is EARTH. we violated nothing.

yeah so are we gonna try to stop polluting and whatnot, yes. But a violation ? check your head. we are EARTH. accept it.

next planetary reset, earth will shake it all off and start again and again and again until the sun dies, or earth shatters

Actually, we're more "star stuff" than we are "Earth". And I do believe that with great power comes great responsibility. It's the ultimate excuse to call what we're doing to our planet something we were somehow programmed to do. You're making it sound like Earth wanted this in the first place or something.

That I can agree with you about.

I'll repeat, there are some people who don't want the truth. That's fine, they can turn a blind eye to reality.

You should realize nothing you can say will change their opinions. Especially when you, like 99% of environmentalists, quickly start towards insults instead of any facts you might have.

What you might believe and what is fact is two separate things. Whether they coincide or not is another story.

You are insulting me. That's fine. But, I don't go around insulting people and I give people the respect to allow them to voice their views. Something that many on this forum don't allow.

It would help if people were literate and can read.

I haven't even contributed to this thread and I've already been insulted!

For what it's worth (probably not much), I won't be answering any more of Cali's questions that are directed at me.
