The Green Realist

On no! The environment is going to pot and it's all our fault!

I don't want pollution. Do you want pollution? I don't want the elimination of the few remaining pristine areas of nature. Do you? I want something done about this. Don't you?

But I tell you what.......I would rather face the end of the world than face the end of indoor plumbing.

See, that's the problem I have with a lot of "green" folks. Many seem to be anti science and anti mondern conveniences. I sure am PRO modern conveniences.

So far capitalism and science have been the main source of the destruction of our planet. But I don't think that either is inherently bad. I think we need to embrace both with a different mindset.

We need to create a new culture in which people want to make money in a way that is benefitial to the planet. We need a culture where scientists always are looking for ways to create better technologies that also improve the planet and never harm it.

This is our only way out of this mess. Abandoning these capitalism or science will never be embraced by enough people, and it wouldn't work anyways with current population levels.

The power is with us non-radical "green realists" to save the world.
