The World Is Dying

The world is dying.

Are we meant to believe that when we inform the world, every one will work together, to work on our flaws, and make the world a better place for our future offspring?

I want to, but am I too pessimistic for thinking this won’t ever happen?

Oceans are being swepped clean, the fish that is caught using fishnets that can fit more than 7 boeing 747´s, are being conserved, then when they arrive at their destination, they are being prepped for sale, in factories that don´t give their employees big enough pay-checks, using energy produced in coalmines.

Do you think of all those FACTS? When you buy a nice tuna?
How much infairness/inequality do you see in the story told above?

Are we meant to believe that when even Darwin the father of heliocentric thinking, couldn’t conquer his own dogma. No matter how progressive he was after he travelled the seven sea’s. His dogma was: the oceans are inexhaustible. He was told multiple times, we can see the effects of fishing on the marine fauna already. Who knows if it will get worse?
He refused to consider this.

How are we supposed to conquer our own dogma’s?


Something of an entire different matter, just something that came to mind when I thought about what the richest people in the world are doing to ensure our planet is not going to waste.
Let’s start with apparently the second richest person on the planet: Bill Gates.

What is his tribute to a better world?

The 2 percent that has 98% of the financial wealth in their possession, must be actively involved in the build up of a better world. Because if the people that have the financial backdrop to take the actions that need to be taken don’t take these actions, who will?
Where is the hardware that uses Microsoft’s software made?
What kind of energy does Microsoft use in all of his various locations all over the world?
An even easier thing to make environmentally friendly is his home. Does he have a windmill on his roof or solar panels, to power the house that he has stuffed with technically advanced gadgets? Did he isolate his walls and window’s? in other words is his house climate neutral? Is his mode of transportation carbon free?

I will leave you all with this: The Climate fair was a farce!

The world is dying..

  1. - Heliocentric thinking, is the theory that says: the sun is the centre of the universe and everything else in the universe is revolving around the sun, or the centre of the solarsystem, where the planet’s revolve around.

    - A dogma is a collection of doctrines or studies that are acknowledged as an autority by a religion, ideology or society. A dogma is a fundamental concept to support a thought, that’s why someone who supports this concept, is not expected to doubt, debate or steer clear of it.
