Seriously, I feel as though no one really cares about what the day is supposed to be about.
Now it feels more like a marketing event, rather than a time to reflect on the fact that the planet simply cannot hold us all and our mad corporate-driven consumer society. The planet's atmosphere is slowing warming up, we're burning more fossil fuels than ever, and more than ever than I recall, no one really seems to be doing constructive anything about it. Each subsequent generation seems to care less about the problem; yet they will be impacted the most.
The Arctic and Antarctic Ice Packs are melting faster than ever. The oceans are acidifying faster than ever.
Our food stocks are being exhausted, and the agricompanies are finding new ways to poison the remaining food supply with frankenfood whenever and where ever our governments and inaction allow it.
Corporations have more rights than individual people do, and they pay less tax. The only innovations I ever see are in the how we find new ways to kill each other, which is only trumped by new ways to distract us.
How else can I say it - we're slowing killing the human race. There isn't going to be an Internet around to bitch about it (and anyways, even if there were, we'd all be monitored here in the US, thanks to CISPA) as the entire planet will be covered with polluted water.
Am I the only one who sees this anymore?
