Preface: Stop arguing and begin listening.

Our Earth is dying, plain and simple.

Our global population’s lack of concern for our planet’s dire state has yielded unreliable results for our survival of not only the environment, but our human species. This ignorance on particular environmental issues is inexcusable, yet who does one blame for our current state of the world? Do we accuse our education for neglecting to instill and teach about environmental practices from a young age? Is the government accountable for investing immense quantities of taxpayer’s money into our seemingly endless war instead of realizing the manufacturing and transportation of the products being produced are creating more destruction to our atmosphere than the intended usage of the weapons themselves? No matter who we blame, the solution to our predicament cannot be reached until every individual changes their habits to be tailored around giving thought towards how their actions are affecting the space around them. Though some argue it is understandable that the average person doesn’t behold the secret to refreezing our continuously melting glaciers or eliminating the appalling amount of debris and oil floating within our oceanic communities, scientists who have been tortured through year after year of education shouldn’t be expected to clean up the massive mess we as a planet have created. Sadly, all too often, we hear the petty excuse of a non-environmentalist or a mere “supporter” state, “It is too difficult to attempt to lend a hand in the healing process of our surroundings. How do I even take part in a “green” act? I don’t know and don’t care to learn the first thing about carbon emissions.” To this I reply, “You like simplicity? Ever heard of recycling?”
