Earth Day

Happy Earth Day everyone! On what should otherwise be a happy day, I am feeling somewhat pessimistic about my fellow men and women. For the record, I love Earth and I admire it's continual beauty despite what humans have continued to pollute, deforest, irradiate, set on fire, and destroy once great fields, mountains, valleys, swamps, streams, and rivers.
A very high percentage of all the species of living creatures that have EVER lived are already extinct, including plants and animals. The landscape is forever changing, everywhere is prone to natural disasters, and there is clear evidence to support global warming, although it COULD just be that the sun is warming up (which it is), even though the human impact from carbon emissions is pretty disturbing as well to the over-all well-being of the environment.
It's nice to go out on days like today and plant trees and flowers... even though the MOST GREEN PLANT OF ALL: HEMP, is STILL illegal for consumer growth and production... even though it COULD rightfully assist us with ending the dependence on foreign petroleum, which keeps us in an inevitable downward spiral into further international conflicts and wars over a dwindling pool of natural resources that have already hit peak for EVERYTHING and are quickly fading away... all with billions of starving mouths to consume the scarce resources. Of course then again hemp can also provide with clothing, textiles, toilet paper, plastics, food, medicine, and many more things including concrete bricks.
It is sad to care about something so much only to watch it be raped, pillaged, and plundered for every natural resource imaginable.
I am afraid that sometime in my life I will be the one saying... "I remember when there was green everywhere..." Because I am afraid that soon there will not be any left. We currently have over 7 BILLION people of different cultures, faiths, gender, and geographical region living on this rock, together, continually at odds and fighting the petty squabble of sheep.
I would love to be optimistic and say YES, let's go out and save the world, but I fear that this is a message of counter-productivity as saving the planet will NOT do any good if we don't change the basic fundamental flaws that WE have as humans. If we want a planet to live on and enjoy, then we have to STOP polluting it. We have to STOP cutting down all the trees. We have to STOP making plants like hemp illegal!!! We have to STOP reproducing at an alarming rate... I don't like saying that the world is overpopulated and people should STOP BREEDING, BUT IT'S TRUE! We have to STOP cutting down the rain forests and polluting the rivers and oceans with toxic oil, garbage, and plastic trash waste, among other things like sodium fluoride that is toxic to everything it touches, and yet it is allowed to be put into our toothpaste, despite being toxic industrial waste.

I'm going to cut this short because I think it is honestly a waste of time talking about it. If anyone reads this at all, it will be looked over, probably not read in its entirety and then it will be quickly forgotten by tomorrow as the entire society seems to have severe ADD... to present people in my life, no offense by this. Go out and plant your trees, bushes, flowers, or whatever today... you have the prettiest yard in purgatory.
