Have you guys ever wondered why are we having so many 'Save Mother Earth' campaigns lately?
'Earth Hour', 'Earth Day', 'Eco-Friendly' this and that, 'Go Green', 'Colour me Green'....
I don't buy into all the environmentalism or really any other "ism",
except Capitalism...
'Eco Friendly' products? pffft... just another way to make money.
The whole 'Save Mother Earth' campaigns are a sham. If you truly care about your environment, (and by environment, i mean your living space) you should do things on a daily basis to take care of it.
It's not something that a normal person need to have their awareness raised about. It's simple: You see trash, you pick it up. You see a flower or a tree in need of watering, you take care of it.
Well, instead for being so vocal, these hypocrites should be more proactive and not be all talk no do.
I was also awed by a passage in Isaiah...
Isaiah 29:16 to be exact
it states :"You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to that which formed it, 'He did not make me!'? Can the pot say of the potter, 'He knows nothing!'?"
It points out a logical fallacy that the tree huggers don't take into account. If we are of the earth, by the earth, then who are we to tell the earth what it needs or what it knows? They presume to be so knowledgeable? That's the ultimate in ego! This theory comes from the bible, but it is sound in it's logic.
As said by Ayn Rand, :
"Ecology as a social principle . . . condemns cities, culture, industry, technology, the intellect, and advocates men’s return to 'nature,' to the state of grunting subanimals digging the soil with their bare hands."
"City smog and filthy rivers are not good for men (though they are not the kind of danger that the ecological panic-mongers proclaim them to be). This is a scientific, technological problem--not a political one--and it can be solved only by technology. Even if smog were a risk to human life, we must remember that life in nature, without technology, is wholesale death."
"Now observe that in all the propaganda of the ecologists--amidst all their appeals to nature and pleas for 'harmony with nature'--there is no discussion of man’s needs and the requirements of his survival. Man is treated as if he were an unnatural phenomenon. Man cannot survive in the kind of state of nature that the ecologists envision--i.e., on the level of sea urchins or polar bears..."
"The dinosaur and its fellow-creatures vanished from this earth long before there were any industrialists or any men . . . . But this did not end life on earth. Contrary to the ecologists, nature does not stand still and does not maintain the kind of 'equilibrium' that guarantees the survival of any particular species--least of all the survival of her greatest and most fragile product: man."
