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.

    But now the United States is using this reason to make China and other developing countries excessively focus on investments in similar low-carbon actions. Is this a dangerous investment? And I have always wondered, why does it have such a big effect when carbon dioxide only accounts for about 0.04% of the atmosphere? Why not sunspots, an effect of the sun itself? The microorganisms on the earth and those fallen leaves emit carbon dioxide far more than humans every year.

    "Future generations may well have occasion to ask themselves, "What were our parents thinking? Why didn't they wake up when they had a chance?" We have to hear that question from them, now."

An Inconvenient Truth quotes

  • Al Gore: If Greenland broke up and melted, or if half of Greenland and half of West Antarctica broke up and melted, this is what would happen...

    Al Gore: Here's Manhattan. This is the WTC memorial site. And after the horrible events of 9/11, we said, "Never again." But this is what would happen to Manhattan.

    [animation shows how sea level rise would affect Manhattan, flooding the WTC site]

    Al Gore: They can measure this precisely, just as the scientists could predict precisely how much water would breach the levees in New Orleans. The area where the WTC Memorial is to be located would be underwater.

  • Al Gore: If we accept that this problem is real, maybe it's just too big to do anything about. And, you know, there are a lot of people who go straight from denial to despair without pausing on the intermediate step of actually doing something about the problem.
