Climate Change Is Too Important to Ignore
This really is a matter of life and death, people.
Let’s just make this really really clear. It does not matter if you believe in this or not. It does not matter where you fall politically. Climate change is a matter of life and death.
You and I live on planet Earth. This is currently the ONLY planet that the human race occupies. If we do not protect the environment on this planet we will die.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States was created because of some extremely disturbing problems with air and water quality due to polluters. Let’s call this what it is — big corporations that produce awesome things to make our lives easier and better. But in the process, they produce waste products that, in the interest of profit, they would prefer to just dump and spew without filtration or any other safeguards.
Air and water are ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to your life. Without air and water, you will die. Period. No air, no water, no life.
When the choice is profit versus protecting the one-and-only planet and our air, water, food supply, etc, this is a no-brainer. At least, it should be.
One world. You and I HAVE to live here. So why is it so hard to accept that we need to protect it? Why is this even up for debate?
