Do we even care about what’s happening in the world, in our communities, or to each other? We don't seem to, because if we did care, we would be making different choices to support, to come together, to leave the world a better place. We’d also be working towards preventing things from continuously happening, for example climate change and global warming.

We're now seeing effects of these problems, including polar ice caps melting and rising sea temperatures. We're blindly living our lives without a care as to how we leave this world. There needs to be food for thought here.

Sustainable life

We’re not going to be able to control everything, but it also shouldn’t mean we just give up, to try to live better, more sustainable lives. We live in this world and this is the only planet on which we are 100% sure that life is possible. We need to want to care, so that future generations are able to live their lives also.

The Science

The science is changing, it's helping us to understand how we can play our part in an ever-changing world. And yet our behaviour suggests we don't care, or think about how our lifestyle impacts future generations.

Examples of climate denial

For example, when the oil supply runs low, we demand more. When the planet gets hot, we turn on the air conditioning. When the power grid struggles to handle our electronic devices, we live our lives as though supplies of resources are unlimited, or we can just make more. We don't have forever to figure it out. Bluntly, whatever the reasons, by our words and actions, we show we do not care. Indeed, those who are most opposed to environmental regulation or who deny the human impact on the environment are potentially the same people who live in the country, fish, farm or hunt. In other words, the very same people who stand to benefit from the changes that need to be made to make life sustainable for the long term.

It is important to find new ways to live

It is also interesting they are the most likely to deny human liability, because hunters and fishermen, often participate in activities to keep the population of certain species in balance with the rest of the ecosystem. It is important to burn less fossil fuels and find new ways to create energy with less environmental impact. We are all responsible for the rapid rise in global surface temperature. Changes are vital if we are to reduce our impact. (Source: https://jeremyzerby.medium.com/)

We need to care about the planet

Ultimately, we are proving we do not care. Yet we owe it to our children to take care of the planet and to find new ways to live; ways that are more sustainable We owe it to our children and to future generations to improve on what we know and move forward, beyond where we are at present.

Conclusion

Each of us need to start living sustainable lives. Live our lives in a way that protects the land, not just for us, but for the natural world. Our lives, the natural world and future generations are relying on us and what we do today. Without living sustainable lives we're on a collision course. The science couldn't be more clear.

What is evident is that our lack of caring, through the ego it's what is killing us and the planet. It is important to pull back, not only for us and future generations not yet born, for them to be able to live their lives, but without it, there can be no world.
