The amount of angsty vitrol in here is laughable.... People will defend their false fantasy land to the ends of the earth to maintain it. Why are we so afraid to face we've ruined our world and fix it

Define good...our air and earth is poisonous.. We eat garbage pumped full of chemicals and are slaves to buying more and more crap.

Granted having a nice house...money and access to cool tech is nice... I'm tempted as well...but in the end we are just burning our problems for our kids...as our parents did

We live longer, healthier, richer lives than at any point in the past. That is just a fact.

How poisonous? Not nearly enough to kill me any time soon. I don't wish to live much longer than 80 or so. Do you?

How are we slaves to buying more crap?

They'll have a better life than me so no, I'm not too worried about them.

Hundreds of years from now, really isn't my problem either. I'll do what I can to make sure that my footprint and my family's footprint leaves a positive mark on this Earth. I can't really do much more than that.
