Look what we have done to the world, the more we get, the more we want, the more new products that come out, the more we buy...
Here are some things that are going on in the world that HUMANS have done:
1.War - Yes, even although you may not be involved in a war, you still dislike some people, and wether it is physical contact or not, you are still causing arguements.
2.Cruelty - I know you must be bored of me saying this, but it if it wasn't for animals we wouldn't be here, but no, some people are so ungrateful, and kill animals for pleasure, animals ruled the earth at one point, and we have to respect that...
3.Pollution - I bet you atleast 75% of you have atleast 2 cars, there is nearly double the ammount of cars in america than there is people. Pollution ruins the o-zone layer, thats why britain has had such weird weather recently, actually, a few weeks ago it was snowing, AND there was lightning, that's abnormal for the weather to react like that.
4.Oil - Well, this is what nearly everything i have mentioned is caused by, the wanting of oil, some countrys like the US and the UK are so greedy, they just want more oil, so they decide to make up a whole excuse about helping other countries like Iraq from poverty, but all they are wanting is the oil. And because of all of our greedyness, the earth has only 40 years until we run out of Oil.
5.Money - Well, this is the cause of EVERYTHING in this planet, MONEY! Big companys don't care about what kind of effects there products or there actions will have in the future, they do it so they can become rich, and live healthy and wealthy. If everyone wasn't so greedy, no countries would be in poverty, as large companys and rich countries would help them. But no, we decide to sit back, and watch the earth fall to peices while we eat our caviar.
6.The products - Okay, so we all want a big house, with a large screen tv, and loads of cars, and our own personal areoplane, but, if everyone was to have this dream, what would the world be like? I'm quite surprised the earth has survived with all of the substances that have been taken out of it. Like gold, silver, copper, iron, tin. All of these things are in the ground we walk on for a reason, but again, greedyness takes over, and so we all need our big diamond and gold rings, and our gold genuine watches. Then there is things that don't rot away, not cfc friendly, so these things will still be on this earth for millions of years to come (if the earth even survives for that long).
Then there is the cars, think about the fumes that come off of them, the more lazy people get, the less people walk, or cycle, walking is the most natural thing to man, but soon, there will be no such thing as walking, as everyone will be driving in there new cars.
Humans have ruined this earth, We think we are so smart, and that we are the boss, WELL, if i was in work right now, and i was causing so much destruction and i was the boss, I WOULD BE FIRED! These things may not matter much to us just now, but if you get a warning in a few years time telling us that the world only has 20 years to survive, what will you do?
And if none of these warnings come out while we are alive, we are leaving it to the next generation, i don't see how it is so hard to save a little energy, to be friendly, and to keep our greedyness to a very low minimum is so hard to do!
WE ARE THIS EARTHS WORST ENEMY, IF WE DON'T ACT NOW, WE WILL REGRET IT!
Thankyou!
