"Let's save the environment." "Be green!" "Protect Mother Earth."
These slogans are shouted at us every day. The government, the media, the companies, the schools - and a lot of bloggers, too. But why?
The temperature of the earth is rising. Trees are being cut down. Species are going extinct. Weather is getting weirder. EARTH IS BEING DEFILED.
Therefore, we need to pour our money into programs that will help restore the earth; since we were the ones that destroyed it, we should be the ones to put it back together again.
I have an extremely simple solution to the entire environmental problem, that will solve it almost immediately. The solution is...
...we kill all the people. Everyone. Including ourselves. If we did so, the world wouldn't have to worry about the cars, factories, industries, and all that junk that is "destroying Mother Nature." If we got rid of the biggest enemy of nature, humans, the environment would be set for life.
Of course, we can't do that. No one wants to kill someone to "save the environment." But that is exactly what we are doing. For years, we've been spending thousands upon thousands of dollars in an attempt to help nature back onto its feet again - while every year, 15 million children are dying of hunger. Last year, Minnesota passed the "Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment" which increased taxes and diverts $300 million dollars every year to helping the environment - while in less than 50 years, those dollars could have satisfied the entire world's sanitation and food requirements.
So the question is: which do we care more about? The children in third-world countries, or the green pitcher plant? People, or things? We in America are blessed to have enough money to, after taking care of our own needs, see to the needs of others. It simply depends on who - or what - we spend that money on.
It's your choice.
