We cannot have that mentality...we cannot give up...hope and determination can bring about positive changes...we are not doomed...we had a wake up call...now it's time to heed it's message and work for the futire not just the present. I say that we cannot give up...we need to fight for these things, regardless if people call us tree hugging animal lovers. Nothhing cool how being capitalistic corporate lovers is there? We don't just need corporations, we need so much more and we must as a supreme race wake up and smell the coffee before it is truly too late...people need to stand up and join the organizations that are working to protect. and even form some new ones in an effort to save us all. A premptive strike that matters..Which would be a firstpoochee said:I'm guessing yes!
Education is the key...and the heart and determination to bring about positive change.ekim68 said:I agree. And it starts with education...From and to all of us..And, everyone can do an individual thing to help..Small but sure....Like, use less resources..(That's another discussion.)
It would be interesting to see if the scientists who look for planets that can support life in the way we know it, check for pesticides also...
