I honestly think there are just too many people on Earth. Every single person wants something, every, person is their own environmental catastrophe due to our consumerist driven society and our diets. Imagine 4 billion plastic coffee lids a day going into landfill, the ocean or needing to be recycled, and in this case, burned. Just that problem alone is incredible, hard to fathom. I watched people all through Europe, deliberately take their cigarette butts, and drop them into storm water drains, frequently, almost everywhere I looked. I just couldn't believe it. I thought about saying something each time I saw someone do it, but in the end I just didn't think it was worth it. Could you imagine how much damage a single plastic bag or cigarette butt does to a marine eco-system in the course of it's life? I really can't believe people even want to eat seafood for the sake of their own health. I've traveled through Europe and Asia for the last year and there is just so many people, it was even hard to sleep, like people just living on top of each other. Climate change is having a major effect on Europe, there is no doubt, in Holland, they were hosing raising bridges down so they would close properly, this was happening for days on end, it was 30+ degrees, insane, the bridges just weren't designed for the heat. Right now, I'm in Bali on my way home from Europe volunteering for a startup who is trying to reduce landfill intake by taking green waste before it hits landfill and turning it into a reusable product (http://www.balicompostcrafters.com/ http://www.balicompostcrafters.com/), I visited the tip, it was a catastrophe, all the toxic run off just washes into the harbor each time it rains, the local government solution right now is to just put mud/dirt on top of it all. More amazing is that the tip is next to a sea turtle sanctuary. My Fiancee and I swim at the beach daily, we can always swim out to the reef, pickup a plastic bag, head back to the beach and easily fill the bag up full of plastic objects, straws, bags, coke bottles etc. People just look at us like we're crazy lunatics, as if that's "Somebody else's job". Unless most people wake up , tomorrow, roll up their sleeves and start cleaning stuff up, I think it's just a matter of time until a big collapse really affects us. The thing is, the whole outcome is optional still, if we wanted too I really think we could turn it around.
