How are we paying for our selfishness with regard to our attitude towards our planet?
Answers
Answer:
One of the best decisions I’ve ever taken is to become involved in green issues –not only at the professional level but also in my personal life. I took this decision some years ago and it has completely transformed my life. I knew that from that point on my path would be a series of modest but firm steps towards becoming a better person and a better citizen.
I confess, I’m a born environmentalist. After almost six years of professional dedication to this issue, I admit that my passion has not waned, but if anything has grown. Throughout this time, I’ve been able to see for myself how majestic and essential nature is for the societies of today (whether or not we are aware of its importance).
However, I don’t want to focus this article on myself or on the professionals who devote their lives to environmental matters. I want to focus on each and every person living on this beautiful planet, as we have an intrinsic shared responsibility to ourselves and to the environment around us –and we must do something about it for our own good. In other words, it should be important to you whether you’re a lawyer, doctor, engineer, economist, athlete, student or homemaker, as we are all part of the biosphere, to give a simple term for such a complex system.
The planet is suffocating. We’re losing biodiversity. The forests are dying. The environment is being destroyed. We are on the threshold of an imminent “point of no return”, directly linked to climate change, which will dramatically alter our way of life, the geography of the planet, and –I hope– the selfish mindset of human beings. Some time ago I read in a book that the human race is the animal at the top of the chain and they “should” therefore have the skill and intelligence to be able to reverse something’s course.
Answer:
Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.
