They say that 'Man' is the superior being on this planet.
Do apes and snakes and birds and frogs bomb each other, pollute the sky and waterways, make plastic bags or dump oil. No!
Also, I am fed up hearing people complain about Earthquakes demolishing their homes and yet they build or rebuild on Fault Lines. There is a new estate in California built on the San Andreas Fault called the 'Fault Line Estate'!!!!! Apparently it is 'Trendy' to build there.
Man, in general, is greedy and 'I want it my way and I want it NOW!' Many places on Earth were not meant to be inhabited. Us Aussies aren't much different. Visit the site of the Ash Wednesday bushfires and see how many people rebuilt wooden houses surrounded by trees. Duh!
Even though we humans discover medical breakthroughs, build infrastructures, aim to better our lives, we are not a bright bunch. We can't see the forest for the trees. We really haven't learnt from our past.
I don't know what the answer is, and I don't know if the majority would accept major change. I am guilty. I won't part with my car, telescope, TV, DVD, etc. but there must be a way of having our treasures and not destroy our Planet as well.
I'm waffling!
