I will have to disagree with him.
Certain aspects of humanity are making us extinct, but really one that it can all be boiled down to: greed.
Corporations, ultra-rich, industry and certain nations have a lot more to do with the planet dying than we as a society should have to bear blame.
This whole act of we’re all to blame needs to end. They’re to blame. They’re killing us. They’re killing our kin, loved ones, future generations.
This is where it needs to stop. If it doesn’t stop the planet will do it for us.
But if you recycle and don’t use plastic straws, you can save the world from pollution!
True for example straws could be repurposed into an fibre, woven into a rope, and tied around their necks.
I understand the point, but if we all would only buy enviromentally responsible stuff, they manufacturers would be force to only produce in a sustainble manner
Problem is that so many can even afford food, let alone sustainable food/things…
And between buying sustaibable stuff and daying of starvation and buying normal stuff you know what we will all do.
I’m off for everybody chipping in enjoying their part and recycling in buying better quality things whatever they can afford. The problem is 70% of the pollution comes from large corporations. It’s their product. And somehow the responsibility has shifted on the common person. It’s like asking me to pay for an oil spill in my backyard because the company is oil rigs are in my town, polluted my ground water. That’s definitely not my fault or something I had control over.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Colombian President Gustavo Petro delivered an ominous prophecy with grandiose language on Tuesday, painting a grim picture of what lies ahead if nations fail to swiftly redesign the way humans live on this planet.
At the U.N., he said that what he called “the crisis of life” has already begun, as signaled by migration of climate refugees, and warned that in the coming half-century, their numbers will reach 3 billion.
His country, today covered by lush forests, will transform to desert, he said, and its people will decamp en masse, “no longer attracted by the sequins of the wealth, but by something simpler and more vital: water.”
Petro said mankind has “dedicated itself to war,” which has distracted attention and resources from development goals and climate change, which he called “the mother of all crises.”
“It has started from the farthest corners of the planet, from the last places, a silent march of people of different cultures that mix along the way, as a painting of infinite hues,” he said.
“I want them to live in the times in which the human being knew how to cease killing itself on the planet and managed, understanding its own cultural diversity, to fulfill the expansion of the virus of Life through the stars of the universe.”
