Saving the Planet
am Actually, I got up early to go to my work, but this does not leave my head, and maybe I can work better if I did it once formulated.
At that very place where I found the two quotes that I have taken apart in the last post, and someone linked a YouTube video. Intention of the video was, but to argue that environmental protection makes no sense - I think, however, because once again someone has the words "sarcasm" and "cynicism" not understand ... Never mind
It's about "Saving the Planet", and is of the comedian George Carlin, which I've added not heard of before. link
His main message is ultimately that we can not save the planet need - and can - because he survived before us.
"Saving the fuckin 'planet? We have not even learned how to care for one another yet! "... "There is nothing wrong with the planet - the planet is fine. The people are fucked. "In principle he is right. The phrase "save the planet" is a bit pointless. We have to save the earth not so that the planet survived - but we (should) try to get life on the planet (if we want to live to stay).
What inspired me to think above all is his assertion that we should stop endangered animals to want to save. It comes naturally as a provocation from him - he has probably written a very nice article about his views toward animals: link
However, the statement is interesting, namely to put an entirely different topic priorities. This is one of the things that I've always had problems, so a 'la: Organic apples from Chile or German non-organic apples? Not that it help me with this issue would continue, not that I would have already donated items for endangered species. But I spin the idea yet even further. I've googled - on the red list of threatened species from extinction (animals and plants, I think) are at the moment 17 000 species (2009). If I for any one euro would be willing to spend (and would have the money;)) would be achieved not much that is clear. But even if I have the money, that is 17,000 euros would all for spending a special species, say the Siberian tiger, and we could thus ensure that the Siberian tiger survived in the wilderness - perhaps in any militarized forest, what do I know - need The Tigers soon a gas mask to survive further if we continue waerenddessen as before. to catch on animal welfare to make not much sense. If I use 17,000 euros in order to live oekoligisch - the price difference between organic and paid to eat non-organic, no company support to operate the depletion of the planet to keep the CO2 emissions low (and even work would: I know it is 100e hide Falltueren where the havoc yet seemingly oeko lot of damage elsewhere) - it would be a lot more reach for this planet. This helps the Siberian Tiger no longer is extinct by then. But the rest of living beings, no matter how the Kreuch on this planet.
set priorities is, find the beginning of the chain - and work on. What will happen until then bad happens - and I can not stop it. But only if we at the beginning Change customer has something of the chain, all "save" a meaning. And that's ultimately also the meaning behind the priorities set.
Hmm.
follows Perhaps more later, but first HERE to work.
