The Earth are we killing it ! the waste we produce climate change etc.
In a modern throw away society are we frankly just wastefully using our natural resources to a point of no return.?

You seen "Before The Flood" - Leonardo DiCaprios climate change movie?

We are consuming more than our plant can sustain .!

First off that's not the way to @ me to get my attention Fenster.
Secondly I'm not likely going to be lectured on the climate and what society must give up by someone who lives like DiCaprio does or Al Gore. It's like being lectured on the benefits of Socialism by Tom Morrello, Bernie Sanders, or Billy Bragg...yeah I'm sure it's a beautiful thing (like everything else) when you have enough money for it.
I've got a smaller carbon footprint than any of those guys even if you factor in their indulgences I mean "Carbon Offsets" . I hunt, I garden, I have chickens for eggs, I use everything I can either to eat, feed my birds or pets, or feed my plants. I've also got a house that is probably the size of a garage Leo has in one of his many many MANY houses.
So yeah I'm doing my part....oh and I don't litter either, I don't even leave shell casings behind
I like that Lyle you hunt and grow your own veg mate.👍
I'd like to not have to go to the grocery store ever again for meat or veggies that I can grow. Haven't had to buy eggs in a while now and chickens are very similar to goats in that they'll eat anything. They eat ticks which is lovely as well, couldn't mow the yard last year without having a tick or two on me.
Being brought up on a farm in the 60s playing out in the fields dirty eating good food.
No pressure what ever just being kids nothing to aspire too no internet no social media.
Life was so simple then shit was that such a bad thing .
I think Attenborough raises a lot of very pertinent points there. It is kind of taboo to talk about it, but if we are going to discuss climate change we have to be honest and say 'This is clearly a very important part of it' meaning population expansionism. It makes no sense for the biggest energy consumers to have open borders either as it only leads to yet more environmental problems. For me it isn't so much climate change, but general environmental degradation. You see it here too and the population isn't increasing. It is because coal is burned and China's emissions that keep the West supplied with over packaged junk blows over too. It is toxic and some days you cannot go outside. Like with immigration there needs to be a curb in order to stop and evaluate what the heck to do. It is not a game. I might not be interested in over populating the planet, but I do want a sustainable future, so that 2,000 years from now people will still be listening to Morrissey and reading Wilde.
I don't think it is overly complicated and I repeat the same thing again and again. The human population is expanding far too quickly and thus more and more resources are consumed, more and more waste produced, and the oceans increasingly turn to fragile baths of death. Nothing is infinite and my views on this issue are not aligned with Peterson, but with David Attenborough, in that I think the best way to help the planet is to be self disciplined, have self responsibility and to consider your impact and that impact comes from not increasing the population so dramatically. Incremental change can be managed, but seismic change cannot. On a personal level, I will drive and listen to Springsteen all I like as it is far less destructive than single Mum with 3 kids with 3 different Dad's which will then multiply ten fold in a couple of decades. I have no guilt as Thunder Road cranks up and the AC flows. Yep, a touch hypocritical but I gotta go to work unlike single single Mum with 3 different kids with 3 different Dad's!
In truth I don't actually drive that much, so I guess I do show some responsibility. You don't want to be running your car down and having to fill up constantly.
Well at least you can hold your head high knowing you're a superior human to those all-powerful, wretched single mothers, miles. La de da de da da de da....
