Re: a note about reality
It's difficult to be optimistic.
But we can certainly fix/correct the environment. But there are powerful interests that won't let this happen. For obvious reasons.
I mean, if people are guided by the principle of greed, that nothing matters but them, well, we're in trouble.
If people have no concern for future generations, well, we're in trouble. (The most blatant problem with respect to the environment is our consumerist culture.
American corporations spend $400 billion on advertising. For us to consume more and more stuff. When politicians speak about economic growth they simply mean: more stuff.
What consumerism and stuff mean is: converting the living into the dead. Chopping down trees to build stuff. Killing animals in our horrid industrial food system. Again, converting the living into the dead. Charming, eh??? ha ha!
And here is a startling somber stat: we've got 125,000 cellular phone towers in America that kill upwards of 27 million migratory songbirds every year. (And, too, we're taught to control and essentially destroy the natural world. People know more about Lindsay Lohan than they do about dolphins, seals, caterpillars, the flowers outside their home....)
Noam Chomsky was asked what human society would look like in 500 years. He laughed. And said, well, there won't be many of us around, if any.
So, we need to start caring about one another.... But the culture drives that out of us. Ya know, you aren't supposed to care about anyone. If that message/propaganda persists, well, we're in trouble.

I leave a Helluva carbon footprint every time I drop a deuce. I'll sodomize this fucking rock even if I don't multiply creating more half-Dinos.

Re: a note about reality
Human existence is pointless. Some of us like to think that we are meant for more but we are really just fertilizer waiting to happen, wasting time collecting useless stuff.

I'm gonna go ahead and co-sign that too. It's really all a game, people, so try to make the best of it. Love, laugh, be happy, and put away petty jealousies, alliances, and the exaltation of material things. You'll be better off for it.
I used this clip last week, but it applies here too.
