Wade. Unfortunately most people think I'm weird for saying this sort of thing. We are taught at an early age that it's OK to rape the planet's resources. Young children are generally not encouraged to mix with nature, or to respect it. The only way we're going to fix this problem is for parents to start doing this. Since the global economics are forcing both parents to work, at least more commonly, it means less and less parental responsibility for the upbringing of the children. We're now seeing the tip of the iceberg with the current generation being mostly greedy, unsocial, unhelpful, rude and self centered. Yes, I'm tarring them all with the same brush, and I know not all of the current generation are like this, but I'm trying to generalise here, since we can only look at our species as a generalised point of view.
