Good and thought-provoking post Eloethan
Was watching the news tonight about volcano Fuego erupting in Guatemala and thought then about the earth rumbling, something deep inside forcing its way out and killing those who live on the surface. Like all natural disasters, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis etc, they shock us when they happen and inevitably their are many deaths.
The planet can do this to us, but look at the wilful damage we do to it.
I don't tend to think much further than the rain forests being decimated and the ice caps melting, but now we are noticing fewer bees.
I am not sure civilisation is developing when we plunder so many natural resources so we can have a better life. Population growth and a greater need for all things that sustain life as well as greed, materialism and modern ways of living could mean that we are biting the hand that feeds us.
The earth could give up on us eventually and we won't know about it, but our descendants will bear the brunt of the ever more frequent warning signs.
We really do need a global plan to slow down destruction, and I include in that population growth.
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
