RE: Where the Tawatinaw meets the mighty Athabasca River
It's nice to see you roaming around and enjoying the nature with your friend Sir.
And it is alarming that our natural assets and resources are devastating day by day, where the industrial revolution is making life easier but on the other side it is also harming and polluting our environment, sometimes it scares me that this industrial growth is taking us to the point where natural resources are getting extinct. 50% area of my town is captured by some industrial Giants and they have turned its agricultural area into a technological colony.
We have a lot of work to do. We are caught in a paradox. Our life style demands that these corporations provide us with the life style we want. But few are willing to give up the life style yet want to hold the corporations accountable for the devastation that they cause. The consumer DEMANDS are being met by the corporations and now we are caught in a catch-22 situation.
To resolve the paradox, we need to change our expectations of what our life style should look like, return to the land so that we can eliminate our demands of the corporations and shut them down, which would then save our environment. I don't believe they can do it any other way. Not without a huge revolution of technology!
Very well stated and totally second you, Sir. We have to change our lifestyle, expectations and demands. This mother earth is entrusted to us humans and we should pass it to next generation in it's healthy form.
