ok first of all, pollution is a problem because of the number of people on this damn planet. You are not going to stop pollution if the population is going to keep increasing like this. I bet most of you "environmentally friendly" people are for helping people in poverty and donating food to Africa. Without even thinking you fucked up right there. Think about what the fuck you are doing, you are keeping generations of poverty alive because of your actions. You are feeding people who are going to make more children who will also suffer from poverty. These people might have even more than 2 kids, therefore increasing the poverty population. What we need to do is develop a long lasting means of birth control and put it in the food we send to Africa so those people can fuck all they want and not have any babies. To fuck and not have babies would save the world. Then after the population of those poor countries would go down, then there will be more resources for people to use and they can establish a good government and a good education system there. You might feel good because you are feeding people in poverty, but that only solves short term problems and highly increases the long term problems. Please think about this and dont be an "ethical" dumbass.
if there werent so many damn people, it wouldnt be possible to create that much garbage and all your problems would be solved. as things are right now, no one can do anything about the population because people are going to keep fucking and making children and all those poverty organizations are going to help them grow up and they are going to make even more children that are going to pollute. No one now is going to do anything about this because they are too "ethical" when future generations of mankind are going to suffer because of us making too many babies. When we reach that magic number of people, there will be not enough resources on the planet to feed everyone and many many people are going to die.
The government isn't going to do shit about the pollution because there is still an estimated $100 billion worth of oil in the earth that they can profit off.
The number of people who care about the earth are vastly outnumbered by people who could care less. No one is going to change their lifestyle unless their lifestyle is directly affected by global warming. So those few people who try to be environmentally friendly sadly arent helping much.
It is extremely easy to stop america's dependence on oil. If 10% of nevada was covered by solar panels, it could power this whole country. If north and south dakota were covered with windmills, that could also power the whole country. Unfortunately, there is no profit for the government by switching to alternative fuels so they are sticking with oil until it is gone. And they recently made some law that in 2020 all cars have to be at least 35 mpg. Which is completely retarded because we already have cars that are not dependent on oil.
