Eco This, Buddy.

What's going on in my head today? Well, it might be my slack attitude toward work. It might be that I'm stuck in a rut. It might be that I sit too much. It might be my disgust with the followers of the world with their PC ways. It might be I'm sick of those same followers whining about greening up the earth. Yeah. We'll go with the greening of the earth for now.


I'm sick of hearing it. I'm sick of the "green" movement. I'm sick and tired of being preached at from all angles about the environment and my f'ing carbon footprint. I'm sick of the little insignificant humans thinking that we can make a difference in the future of this ball of dirt we're on. The earth has been around a lot longer than we have and I'm pretty sure it's going to be here long after we've been wiped off it's face like the crumbs that we are. How arrogant of humans to think we can "Save The Earth". Are you kidding me with this? Do we really think we have that much of an impact on something so much bigger than us? The earth is on its path and there is nothing we can do to stop it. The universe has a way of balancing itself out, and part of that is the extinction of certain species with the evolution of new ones. And besides. Who said the earth was supposed to last forever anyway?

My personal belief is that we are put here to explore and use every natural resource available to us. To gain as much knowledge of the workings of this snowglobe we're floating around in until our eyes bleed. But, realistically, our race isn't supposed to last forever. It just can't. Why, because we are humans, we have the all-knowing power to save ourselves from becoming extinct unlike the pea-brained plants and animals? More arrogance.

I don't think we're supposed to conserve energy. Find better ways to use our natural resources is what we should be doing. I'm all for recycling. And no, you shouldn't be polluting your neighbors property. No, please don't poison our water and soil so we all end up with some form of cancer. But, what do you want people? To go back and live in caves? Cause that's what's coming next if we keep up with all this hollier than thou eco-friendly, "do with less" fervor. What's wrong with wanting to live in air conditioning and use a dishwasher? You want to be eco-friendly? Stop having kids! There's a drain on our natural resources right there. Humans!

This is becoming a new religion, this eco-friendly "Save The Planet" movement. It really is. And we all know how badly that ends.

You don't have to agree with me. Just don't be a jerk.
