What am I fighting for?
For almost four years in high school I thought I knew a lot about the Environment. In school articles and write-ups I kept talking about Global Warming - what it is and how it threatens the Human race. I kept talking because it was all I knew back then.
But Now, i'll STOP.
I've just read STATE OF FEAR by Micheal Crichton and I was really moved and convinced. NOW, I'm changing my Environmentalist Heart and START Letting Go of Global Warming. NOT TO FIGHT AGAINST IT but somehow just IGNORE IT for now.
It's not because it's not important. it's because it doesn't deserve to be a top priority for environmentalists especially in the third world. I believe that there are more important and more pressing issue than Global Warming. Rather than fight a threat which will try to attack our Great Grandchildren, Why not fight the ones threatening our own generation? Why Not fight Pollution, Urbanization, and Forest Destruction instead? Why fight an issue filled with THEORIES when, there are EVEN MORE OBVIOUS ONES???
Let's face it! We are just human beings! It's NORMAL for us to fight for our OWN SURVIVAL! Because even though how much we try to save our environment for the Future, if we don't save Our OWN GENERATION from Pollution and Starvation, then Sooner enough, NO MORE Humans-- Children, Grandchildren, and Great Great Grandchildren-- will be able to utilize the planet WE tried to SAVE.
Think about it...
