Environmental friendly

Watching "The Inconvenient Truth" is actually a bit big and empty. Of course I know that the climate is warming, the sea level is rising, and species are going extinct, but at the end of the video, it didn't tell us what to do, but let me go to another website to learn about it. More information. Why did he lose the election to Bush Jr.? Because the concept of environmental protection is too hollow for ordinary people, it is not as obvious as the word employment.

I know we can't deal with plastic, let it build up and selectively blind. When I went out, I had to buy a bottle of mineral water for two yuan. When I was shopping for food, my aunt handed me a plastic bag of food wrapped in a plastic bag. I bought a gadget for ten yuan online and it was wrapped in three layers and sent to me. In my hand, I have 20 pairs of jeans. I only recently realized how unenvironmentally friendly denim products are. I vowed to never buy jeans again. 20 pairs are enough for a lifetime.

Yes, in a consumerist society, everyone has to buy and buy to promote the economy. Only when the economy develops can jobs be solved. When the country is rich, it can solve the problem of education, medical care, elderly care, urban planning, and finally, environmental protection. This is obviously a paradox. In other words, the poor people can't afford to pay for medical treatment and let them think that I want to protect this blue planet? absurd.

Consumerism also has many benefits. For example, people are busy earning money and shopping so they don't start wars. It's reasonable to have 100 pairs of jeans in each person's closet and 100 lipsticks for each girl, rather than dying with blood all over the place. .

I know that beef is the meat that consumes the most of other resources, and that pig excrement is difficult to dispose of. I also know that chickens are kept in a railing that cannot move for life, and they eat, sleep, and eat, and eggs roll from their reproductive tracts one by one. It came out neatly arranged so I could get an egg for 50 cents and a large chicken breast for 10 cents.

I told my school girl that she brought canned cat food with her to feed stray cats, but in fact, the chicken wings we ate were 30 chicken wings, and we were very happy. The school girl was confused. She said that some creatures should be loved and some creatures should be eaten. She would not eat dog meat, because dogs are friends of human beings, and what is happening now is what it should be. (Her remarks are, of course, confusing and inconsistent, and of course, most people live with vague ideas.)

When I talk to my friends, I don’t think I should have children, because there are too many people on the earth, and maybe the average life expectancy will be more than 100 years old in the future. The pressure of the aging population, the lack of resources, and the pressure of competition are too great. You can see blue water in the aquarium and think that this is the sea. Less fertility is the best thing to do to this planet, and talent is the biggest waste. A friend sent me a message from Tesla saying that we are going to move to Mars soon, and if there are other resources, you will be unfounded.

Also, maybe humanity will have a solution, maybe plastic can finally degrade, maybe there are new resources on aliens. Maybe not, but maybe I'll be dead when the temperature rises to the point where people can only eat bananas, so why worry about that.

An Inconvenient Truth quotes

  • Al Gore: We have the ability to do this. Each one of us is a cause of global warming, but each of us can make choices to change that. With the things we buy, the electricity we use, the cars we drive, we can make choices to bring our individual carbon emissions to zero. The solutions are in our hands. We just have to have the determination to make them happen. Are we gonna be left behind as the rest of the world moves forward?

    [on the screen behind him, a list of countries appears]

    Al Gore: All of these nations have ratified Kyoto. There are only two advanced nations in the world that have not ratified Kyoto, and we are one of them. The other is Australia.

    [on the screen, a map of the United States is shown]

    Al Gore: Luckily, several states are taking the initiative. The nine northeastern states have banded together on reducing CO2. Uh, California and Oregon are taking the initiative. Pennsylvania is exercising leadership on solar power and wind power. And U.S. cities are stepping up to the plate.

    [on the screen, a list of cities appears, to applause]

    Al Gore: One after the other, we have seen all of these cities pledge to take on global warming.

  • Al Gore: Ultimately, this question comes down to this. Are we, as Americans, capable of doing great things even though they are difficult? Are we capable of rising above ourselves and above history? Well, the record indicates that we do have that capacity. We formed a nation, we fought a revolution, and brought something new to this earth, a free nation guaranteeing individual liberty. America made a moral decision that slavery was wrong, and that we could not be half free and half slave. We, as Americans, decided that of course women should have the right to vote. We defeated totalitarianism and won a war in the Pacific and the Atlantic simultaneously. We desegregated our schools. And we cured fearsome diseases like polio. We landed on the moon! The very example of what's possible when we are at our best. We worked together in a completely bipartisan way to bring down communism. We have even solved a global environmental crisis before, the hole in the stratospheric ozone layer. This was said to be an impossible problem to solve, because it's a global environmental challenge requiring cooperation from every nation in the world. But we took it on. And the United States took the lead in phasing out the chemicals that caused that problem. So now we have to use our political processes in our democracy, and then decide to act together to solve those problems. But we have to have a different perspective on this one. It's different from any problem we have ever faced before.
