Comparing our life to that of the wild children on their blue planet
Comparing our life to that of the wild children on their blue planet, it is evident that human beings are the main threat to life on earth. It is unfortunate to note that if the total population continues to increase at the current rate, our children’s and grand children’s will experience the earth plunged into an extraordinary environmental crisis that will result in terrible impacts. Planet earth is home to billions of different species, but only one that dominates, which are human beings. Human beings are identified to be inventive and intelligent, and their activities have modified almost every corner of our beautiful planet. To be specific, human beings are causing an intense impact on it. The inventiveness, cleverness, and numerous activities that we undertake are the ones that are causing every global problem that we are experiencing.
It is possible that we can tame our consumerism as well as having both the pleasure of stuff and the pleasure of the beautiful world. Human beings got to where they are now through society, shaping events and some civilizations. Most notably, these society shaping events include the scientific revolution, the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution, and finally, the public health revolution. Through self-discipline, it is therefore very possible for human beings to control their consumerism as well as having the pleasure of the stuff, without necessarily harming the beautiful world.
We can help the rest of the world by changing our behaviors, globally and radically, on every level. Specifically, the western need to consume less. A lot less and conserve more to help the rest who are suffering. The government is also required to make radical actions that would otherwise lead to the implementation of significant behavior change.
