It is extremely unfortunate that the concept of our 'environment' has become such a controversial and heated
topic in society today. Whenever something becomes controversial, the two main political sides split into their
respective 'camps' and the entire subject becomes tainted with political mudslinging and obfuscation of the
facts. We should not allow ourselves to become blinded by rhetoric, propaganda or outright lies.
Few things are more important than the actual planet on which we live, without it we would literally have
nothing. We would not exist. So no matter how you see our Earth, as a spiritual motherly caregiver, or as a
hunk of spinning rock on which life evolved, it should be equally important to us all to make sure that we
keep it healthy, keep it protected and sustainable. The truth is that in many ways we are polluting our planet,
poisoning parts of it, cutting down and paving over vast areas of it, toxifying our air, rivers, lakes and oceans,
overfishing, overhunting, spilling oil from our tankers, and quite possibly contributing to the warming of our
planet overall. It is not our job, or anyone's, to scare you into acting, to insist that certain things are leading to
our ultimate demise, or are irreversibly damaging to the planet. But it is YOUR JOB to determine these things
for yourself, to ignore what the politically motivated people in the media say, and do what you believe to be
right. Remember that we only get one Earth, and no amount of money or economic growth can buy our way
out of self-made disasters, so let's avoid them! Being an 'evironmentalist' is simply acknowledging that we
must seek a balance between our current human desires and the ability to pass the Earth on indefinitely to
future generations. It is not 'radical'. It is not 'liberal'. It is common sense to want to protect our own home.
So let's be sensible and protect it!
