Consumption mentality is destroying earth
Earth Day 2006 is a day to acknowledge that nothing has been done in our country or around the world to relieve the pressures of the oncoming energy crisis and global warming. Prodigious quantities of ink and paper have been used in recent years by commentators, scientists, economists, some corporate leaders and even a few politicians to warn us that the demand for energy, both electrical and fossil, is increasing dramatically. Likewise, global warming is all but a given, and the dire predictions of its impacts on the ecological systems of our planet are beginning to be seen. On top of the energy crisis and global warming, we humans have been doing everything we can to destroy the planet by overfishing, overpopulating, destroying forests, clearing the land, building everywhere, consuming animals and consuming fuels as if there is an unlimited tomorrow.
