I work in the USA in the restaurant business, 99% of all restaurant recyclables go right in the landfill, along with 50% of the food served. This is not sustainable. Wildlife has zero chance with humans gobbling everything up daily. It's sad to see a child drink water out of a plastic cup that gets thrown away 5 min later.
It’s because we have a higher standard for when we go out to eat vs at home..things that we find normal for us to do at home like saving food in the fridge for next day is somehow an atrocious act if it’s done in a restaurant that we paid “money for”
That's why all the billionaires are spending their money on space missions. Of course, they could just throw their money at saving earth, but they might lose the race for richest dead man.
The most powerful ones literally bank on you not believe that they do have somewhere else to go, the means to get there and a plan for leaving you right here. Ancient writings have disclosed the most important secret of them all: Not Everyone Will/Can Be Saved. Isn't that even in The Bible?

Yep. If even every single person on earth does just a tiny bit, it would make a diff but humans are cursed in that way that no one cares. I read a book lately about learning to accept that the future is already bleak and theres nothing we can do about it. Just accept, hug your loved ones and enjoy your life.
Yep, I'm not going to say our poor use of land is the only problem BUT it is a significant part of it and exacerbates many other interconnected problems. The main problem with our land use especially in North America has to do with SPRAWL. The cause of which is poor, outdated zoning practices that make it nearly illegal to build densely and efficiently and instead basically encourage developers to build less dense single family detached homes way out into the suburbs and therefore have to build more roads and utilities to reach them and where everyone has to be car dependent. #strongtowns #notjustbikes
Where I grew up near Heidelberg, Germany, you were not allowed to swim in the river due to chemical pollution and many birds and mammals were nearly extinct, due to overuse of soil and too much chemical furtilizer. It is much better now due to several things : the farmers were forced by law to leave half a meter of soil as a fringe around their fields, plant hedges and trees as windbreaks and strongly reduce the nitrogen content and weed and insect sprays. The result is that wildflowers, bees, many old plants came back, as well as pheasants, storks and many birds like the green woodpecker and some we thought extrinct. The farmers, one was a classmate, were pleasantly surprised that the soil quality got much better due to changes, simply by mixing cultures and the above. Just saying that there are things humans can do to reverse some of the damage.
You are very right I stay in Stuttgart and we have alot of birds in our balcony because we feed them too .German is doing very well with maintaining nature .🥰
@@terekab5883 unfortunately look a little deeper. Those wood pellets germany says are more environmentally friendly for energy… they are cutting down thousands year old forests for it 😢
Sounds great. The trees and shrubs also help increase habitat, reduce soil erosion, increase on-site water detention, reduce storm water runoff and ground water pollution, increase organic matter for the soil and its microbes, and lower the ambient temperatures via shade and evapotranspiration/evaporative cooling.
Growing up in the Northwest Georgia area in the 1960s, our home had many shade trees surrounding it: oak, walnut, cedar, and hickory. One thing that remained a constant in our day to day life was the many varied bird species whose songs we heard from sunrise to sunset. After my retirement I recently moved back home to help care for our elderly mother. The trees were still there, but the birds and their beautiful songs were almost nonexistent; greatly diminished. I listened over the summer nights for the chirping of the crickets I so vividly remembered from my youth. In both instances, the silence has been deafening.
I’m in Tennesse, I’ve grown up and lived here since the 80’s. I’ve lived in a semi natural/ scenic area (becoming less so daily) within the city limits but I’ve seen the people change, and the attitude of the people toward nature change in drastic ways! First, Cut down all the trees ( regardless of how old, majestic because we don’t want to deal with maintenance). Next, don’t worry about your trash, just throw it wherever you please! -That can be someone else’s problem! Lastly, Can’t say anything about any of these actions because that would be “racist”! I try and would like to be an optimistic and positive person but modernity never ceases to curb my enthusiasm for people and our futures.
@@SMaamri78 @Pa Bis Yeah, that would be racist. It would also be very wrong. It's the rich white men who own the big companies that come in and cut down all the trees, pollute the water causing extreme levels of cancer, black lung being resurgent in coal mines (and not willing to pay the healthcare costs associated with), and buying the politicians so they can keep on doing it...those same politicians you are more than happy to vote for. Immigrants might not live the way you do, but to blame them is not only racist...it just isn't true. Look at who you voted for in the last election and what they have to say about those rich white men (and what they did to protect them from being accountable). Looks like you might be more of a problem for the environment than immigrants...but you don't want to hear that version.
@FarleyMan151 my parents were and I can say that I am glad they had that era. I don't dislike my life period but being born in 74 I missed half of the 80s which sucks. I think being born in the mid to late 60s would have been ideal. Hitting 1980 at 16 years old would have been prime.
@@alankoz5067 the only reason that’s the zeitgeist is decades of astroturfing and greenwashing by oil companies and oligarchic billionares. The rich are destroying the world and profiting off it’s destruction. This is late stage capitalism
As a child of the 80s, I've had memories of hundreds of caterpillars in our yard, butterflies and bees that could be seen daily in the summer and the sun was a nice warm gentle orange color. Now I hardly see any of the insects of my youth and the sun is almost white and burns skin much more easily. Something is very wrong.
I used to love watching the multiple flocks of birds flying as I drove… every day. I found it mesmerizing now synchronized they were… this week I’ve seen 2 flocks, much smaller than the ones I used to enjoy watching.
Yep, the ozone layer's depletion has made the sun's rays unbearable. The way the world came together to stop that crisis but can't muster the willpower to stop climate change is a testament to how far the internet has dragged down our intelligence & opened us up to disinformation.

Just like the story the old man tells in the film, Apocalypto… And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, "We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it." The Man said, "I want to have good sight." The vulture replied, "You shall have mine." The Man said, "I want to be strong." The jaguar said, "You shall be strong like me." Then the Man said, "I long to know the secrets of the earth." The serpent replied, "I will show them to you." And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop." But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"
The old Christian idea that humans were out here for the benefit of mankind always irked me. Much better is the Native American ideal that we are custodians of the earth and all living things.

I agree with your statement in terms of mainstream Christianity, but throughout history there have been many groups of Chrisitians who believed that we were supposed to be stewards just as you mentioned. Sad that the teachings and voices of those people are unknown to you but I don't fault you for that.
What really sucks is we keep saying and writing all this level stuff instead of just shutting up and stop breeding and making sure all of us are comfortable. It's all just so dumb. I'm writing this out and trying to figure out how to get rid of most of my stuff that requires resources. Off grid won't even help unless we slow down the population, but I'm starting my little part soon.

I used to see and hear bumblebees in my yard every spring without fail. The past several years, I haven't seen any. It's scary how rapid the decline is occuring
@e S there is a noted decline in ber populations. Like, an alarming amount. Please tell me how you seeing bumblebees means anything in regards to OPs comment? Bumblebees aren't extinct so of course some folks still see them depending on where they are at. Many people no longer see them though.
We used to protest against the big companies doing damage to the earth, now a majority of the people don’t care either, they trash, graffiti, destroy everything that is beautiful. It’s heartbreaking, “You never know what you’ve lost, till its gone”

Atm emissions are more important to curb than minerals, as time passes on these cars will need less and less minerals, or breakthroughs will happen where we may move to more sustainable minerals. If we continue on the path of expanding more into space, we may even be able to mine these minerals off planet to better preserve what we have here. I really hope so, not only would space mining be cool as hell, but would prevent us from stripping our own planet
I live in Jackson Hole Wy. Next to Yellowstone. The billionaires and multi millionaires have taken over this place. Once they get here, they start or join animal habitat protection “non profits”… then tell others how they can’t live there or close to them because of “animal habitat”. Meanwhile they build huge “rustic” structures and tear up the habitat to put in modern manicured landscaping. Tell the locals where they can and can’t hunt, even though hunters know the area and populations and how to control it and keep a healthy strong population. They also only hunt for food usually. No matter what, all the animal is harvested for food. They also have the biggest, most expensive SUVs and maybe have 1 child, 2 at the most.. that’s taken care of by a Mexican nanny. Some only stay at these huge estates 1 month of the year at most. Their monthly electric bill is more than most peoples rent, and that’s them not even living there full time. The waste and tremendous amount of wealth, arrogance , and all while pointing fingers at others is sickening to watch.
Yeah, it's a waste. The super wealthy could be building inclusive, walkable, low carbon neighborhoods that would enrich their own and others' lives while reducing ecological footprints.

People tend to only show concern when major events or personal circumstances affect them. As humans, we often prioritize our own interests and fail to extend the same level of care and concern to others. This raises the question: why is it so hard to care for others? Perhaps it's because there's no monetary reward for doing so. However, if we want to make the world a better place, we need to start caring more. Though it may be challenging, it's important to start taking action now. After all, if we don't start now, when will we?
When I was a teenager in the Mojave Desert, my father and I used to drive across a desert path at night to the college where he taught. We had to drive slowly to avoid all the jackrabbits and roadrunners that darted across or ran in front of us. Now you never see either one anywhere.
We can change but it needs to start at the top and the rest will follow. If something works better then it’s a solution. We don’t have to loose all commodities but we need to be caretakers of our environments
This guy is a joke Dr Paul said London was supposed to be submerged by the year 2000 because of climate change Also in the '70s by 1985 United States was supposed to be in a Great starvation.
When I was in elementary, our school playground used to be full of bees, butterflies, and other insects during recess and we all used to play with the butterflies as kids. By middle school, they were all gone. The playground was just empty grass.
When I was growing up in NW suburban Chicago in the 50s, Monarch Butterflies were a very common sight. Now in rural southern Missouri I see one or two during the summer if I'm lucky.
I have been a practical conservationist all my life. I have kept honey bees for nearly 30 years. They tell an interesting story. I have seen the destruction of habitat, the damage from unfettered use of pesticides, the over fishing by both native and commercial fishing operations to name a few issues over the many decades of my life. I'm also pragmatic. The earth has experienced 5 prior mass extinctions. I haven't heard anyone talk about the negative effects of those 5 events. After all, if they had not occurred we wouldn't even be here. We are only concerned about the one happening now. Why? Some will say because we need to protect the helpless species as though we were smart enough to do that which we have categorically demonstrated we are not. If we are honest, the real reason we are concerned about it is because it is a threat to US individually. The earth has recovered with a massive explosion of new life after each extinctions so we can't logically say that it is that we are concerned about wiping out life permanently. Time will resolve any problems we create and new life will flourish again just as it has every other time. So it's really all about us and our selfishness. The earth doesn't need our help. We need the earths help and we need to take care of it if we want to continue. In 600 years nobody is going to give a flip about you or what you did or didn't do. You won't even be remembered. In 60,000 years the earth will be rather different than what it is now regardless of what you do or we do as a species. In a million years our species, if we don't wipe ourselves out, will not be recognizable or bear any resemblance to what we are now. So lets be honest and admit that any concern we have is really about us. Maybe then we can quit blaming everyone else and look at our own lives and see how each of us make decisions every day that are the real source of the problem. How much water do I use? How much energy do I waste? What foods do I eat? What housing do I consume? What do I throw away that could be recycled? Why do I have to fly in a jet 3000 miles to find a place to have fun? If your answer is because everyone else does it and my contribution is too minor to count, then YOU are the problem.
Yeah, well keeping honeybees is actually cause in competition with native wild bees, which is causing them to go extinct, and they are much more important than honeybees. So you can’t win I guess..
@@shasmi93 All Bees, insects in general, and life preying on insects have been declining since air planters have been blowing insecticide residue as they plant.

Funny thing is all it takes is about a hundred years to get us to extinction-probable numbers. Interesting that Hawking gave humanity 100 years to go, eh?

I've lived in Washington all my life. Everyone is cutting down all the forested land for housing complexes and concrete. The only forest left is the National Park. I used to hear packs of coyotes, not anymore. I used to see dozens of deer, not anymore. My brother would fish salmon for us, and now they are sick. 100,000 people moved here just last year. Washington will not be Evergreen anymore. It kills to see. My family has lived here for 4 generations. We have never seen it this bad. The trees I grew up looking at, a beautiful treeline, is now completely mowed down. Now high winds affect our house. We live on a ridge, no trees, no shelter. I used to swim in the river.. until they started putting poop waste where we swim. Yellow bubbly foam in the water. The water smells like death.

After I woke up from this dream I freaked out. I wonder about it so much that I decided to look for information about it online. That’s why I’m here listening and watching these videos.

I've been living in the Ecuadorian Amazon for 6 years. When I arrived the sounds of frogs at night were amazing. 6 short years later, I might hear a frog or two. Some of the frogs were so unusual and loud, but I haven't heard them again in two years. They have completely dissapeared from the soundscape. Nobody here even notices the silence until you point it out to them.
I’m in California and growing up use to see an influx of bumblebees during spring and summers. Stopped seeing the around the age of 15 and haven’t seen any since. Took the time out one day to look at why that is and the population has declined by 84% due to pesticides, habitat changes and climate. So I know exactly what you mean.
I've lived in my current home in the northeast US for around 50 years. In that time, I've seen 90% of bird species disappear, wildlife which used to be plentiful is now rarely seen, and although I grown plants which usually attract bees, few ever show up anymore. Half the trees have been cut down in the area because people don't want to deal with falling leaves and pine cones, and wetlands are slowly being destroyed (illegally). Small forests in the area have disappeared, and houses are being built in their place. There's no political will to face this kind of situation, and try to reverse it. People, in general, just don't care, or bury their heads in the sand, thinking that we will somehow magically survive the coming crises. I've been discussing population explosion for decades hoping that people will take it seriously, and what I've found out is that most people are too attached to gross consumerism without any thought to the inevitable consequences of their actions. At this point, I'm convinced that the only solution will be that nature will take care the problem, and we'll see more disease and famine, leading to another deadly world war... and that time may not be as far away as we think.
All about developers, human greed, and corrupt political systems. Plus so many people are breeding irresponsibly and for selfish reasons (unable to care for their own progeny). Having lived on a farm in se MI and tried to grow organically, I realized being surrounded by unsustainable corn/bean farming and the chems involved, it was a lost cause. Bees have disappeared and oil wells and wind farms have taken over the landscape. I'm old and gave up.
Trees are being cut down to save peoples property( assets ) for wild fire prevention in may places . Many people like to live in wild places away from other people not realizing how much they disturb the natural environment they seek comfort in.
@Will. Another southeast lower Michigan checking in here. Don’t give up brother. Go down swinging if you have to but don’t give up. This is our mother. This is Michigan. We really have to give it everything we’ve got. I don’t own much property. I own a quarter of an acre, a common plot. We plant wildflowers in our front and backyards. We moved here in 2013 and have seen a significant decline in the number of butterflies that visit every year. I have not counted though, so I could not offer up my observations as an official study. But I can tell you in the nine years that I’ve been here that we don’t see anywhere near the number that we used to just nine years ago. Between direct observation or from the security cameras that we have, we probably saw around 10 maybe 15 butterflies this year. In fairness, we were not observing 24 hours a day. It is entirely possible that millions of years of butterflies decided to travel a different route. I find that improbable though. I also have heard similar stories of people that have watched wildlife disappear. Similar experiences through direct observation. I don’t know any of these people and I am not conspiring with them to bring the electric car into production or whatever conspiracy holds true today.
I was in high school in the 70s. I remember a student teacher who held theories regarding science and social studies.

I live in a rural area 30 miles north of Detroit on 5 acres of land. Most noticeable to me has been the rapid decline in numbers of birds, butterflies, and other flying insects in the past 2-3 years. On my cross state drives the past few years my windshield has been almost free of insects. Very sad to be passing this on to my grandchildren.
Dude same- suburbs just north of Detroit here, I remember seeing bees around constantly when I was a kid, at parks, in my backyard… now I hardly see them anywhere
I remember it too in my hometown in Texas growing up there used to be frogs in any dense vegetation I even remember it raining more often there were tons more crickets and insects spiders etc in general. Now I never see a random frog in a yard anymore and it seems the dominant insects I see are flies and mosquitoes. Others like dragon flies, butterflies, moths spiders etc are all declining right in my front yard. I'm only 36.
not sure where you're at, but in my area of Texas there's tons of frogs, dragonflys, fireflies, butterflies, etc.... I was even blessed to have a huge garden spider spend almost 6 months in my garden until she decided to move on. During spring, there are so many frogs at night they drown out the sound of the trains and road noise. My backyard was full of dragonflies feasting on all the darn mosquitos and I always have wild rabbits in my front and backyard. I see bluejays, cardinals, ravens, red tailed hawks all over town and I'm north east of Austin.
I’m 38 and I love in Texas and my grass is green so are my frogs but my mosquitoes are brownish black and I have an kinds of rodents and creepy crawlies and coyotes that are brown/tan/gray that howl every night and cows that mooo and eat grass and make milk 🥛 and just about everything else exists here 🙂
Nearly everyone who watches this will go on consuming and procreating just as they always have. Nearly all of them hope that others will make the sacrifices to save humanity. And they know that equation won't work. It is a good time to be old.
I am in my mid 60's. I have had a good life. The effects of climate change and biodiversity loss, etc. will not affect me like it will for younger people. There is a reason Greta Thunberg made such an impact at such a young age. No wonder she's vegan. I am too. Going vegan is the most effective option for each of us.
I provide honey bees with water in the desert of Baja Sur, Mexico. Not for my gain at all, but to help sustain them. Because they're cool. Because they keep me company. And, they are, after all, honey bees - pollinators extraordinaire! Is there really any other reason necessary?!
Honey bees are actually not natives. But, there are hundreds or more types of native and ground bees. I have an organic acre near a major city and provide water and native garden spaces for the bugs and bees. I see many bees, mantises, bugs, birds, and other wildlife in my yard. It's not that hard to do if you don't mind having native grasses, clover, etc. A perfect weed and feed lawn is not healthy, natural, or sustainable.
As much as possible, make sure that the bees are getting pollen from all different kinds of plants. Years ago, entire hives of domesticated bees were dying off because beekeepers were sending the bees out to pollinate Almond trees (and not much else). As a result, the bees started dying from malnutrition.
None, good on ya! It feels good to do good and "Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do" said Voltaire I worked in Hawaii for awhile and leaned local boys' reverence for nature in a spiritual sense.

half is an understatememt with the amount of people who at least heard of it and still chose to ignore it, because "it's out of their lifetime". unbeknownst to them that drastic changes are already happening and will drastically increase in the next 20-30 years.
I'm 72 and the world population has nearly TRIPLED during my lifetime so I chose to not father any children for just this reason. We passed population sustainability decades ago and now it is only a matter of how many of the other species we share this planet with will be left when the human population finally declines. I've lived very modestly and spent many years paddling, backpacking, bicycle touring and sailing in remote areas and have witnessed a significant decline in wildlife. Habitat loss is the major reason for this extinction event.
For every human alive today, 19 have existed before. If you count of all human history, and how short our lives truly are in the deep time of the earth, that's actually pretty wild. 😳
Some of us are old enough to remember that Ehrlich is the lunatic who predicted global food riots, 1 billion deaths from starvation, and a US population of less than 23 million by 1999.

Police not pursuing criminals that are not stealing 1K or larger.
I live in southern Minnesota and it’s all corn and soy fields. I go for walks and I feel sad bc nothing feels wild. It’s so hard to find. It’s like living in a simulation.
I know sad right? and pesticide from those fields are also killing insects. Ask your grand parents if they had bug splatter on the windshield and radiator. Today do you or your friends see bug splatter? that is a crude form of measurement of the inject health. no insects mean no birds. no birds mean the snakes, hawks and frogs and lizards can disappear.

Doing what I can in my tiny portion of the world. Here in Salt Lake City, Utah, I took out my lawn and am replacing it with local xeric plants and pollinators to give bees, Monarchs, hummingbirds and other insects a place to gain nourishment and procreate. I also now need significantly less water to maintain my landscape. It's a small gesture but if more people made changes like this, we could make a difference.
Yes! If everyone took care of their garden--what is given them in this world, be it large or small--we could turn on a dime. And the lawncare businesses could adapt.
Malinda, thank you for pitching in. I am also in Salt Lake City. What we do as Citizens does very little to save Salt Lake. 75% of all the water that feeds Salt Lake is used for agriculture. Most of the Western States are in the same predicament. Our governor is an alfalfa farmer and has put other farmers in charge of the water for our state. As long as this leadership holds, the Great Salt Lake will continue to perish. Meanwhile, the dried up Salt Lake bed blows arsenic into the air poisoning the Wasatch front from Provo to Brigham City.
@Bernhard Schwarz business isn't real. jobs aren't real, money isn't real. humans need food, clean water, shelter, and community. our ancestors provided one another with each of these, and preserved them for the rest of life on earth too. we just watched a video about the entire biosphere crumbling around us because of capitalism built on resource extraction and your primary concern is still the economy????
@Bernhard Schwarz i didnt say economics werent real. i didnt say labor wasnt real. nor providing for your community. but "jobs," "businesses," "money" arent those things- theyre how a great many nation states nowadays express those things, and our beloved system has corrupted them. societal roles are the labor you wish to celebrate, while "jobs" serve the individual instead of the community. when all labor is commodified and exchanged for "money" and money is used to mask and hide community from you, it tricks you into thinking its all for you and you work for yourself. you *really* work for community, as we and all our ancestors used to or continue to do going back thousands of generations across the eons. but because that's all suppressed and even forcibly taken from people at the hands of systems like ours, individualism is incredibly easy to fall into. individuals arent bad, in fact theyre the basis of all life on this planet, but so are communities, its both at once. the selfishness and greed that money creates and which destroy communities cannot be overstated, nor can the lifestyle responsible for our planet's crisis. what the school system has really done is brainwash generations of children into being perfect soldiers and cops and propagandists of empire, little clockwork toys marching to their office jobs where they design bombs and turn blood diamonds into capital and topple entire societies with the swish of a pen all while returning to their cave at the end of the day and singing themselves to sleep to have dreams of ambrosia and their upcoming trip to (insert colonized nation here), only to pledge allegiance again in the morning for the loop to repeat. this "greatest country in the world" as so many like to say has outpaced and outreached every empire the planet has ever suffered before, it is the most demonic looter, briber, backstabber, murderer in history, and public schools have successfully convinced millions of people that that's a good thing.
This just breaks my heart. I live in the middle of NY state, and the amount of trees I saw cut down the past few years just around where I live is astounding. We've known about this for decades. The greed of people all over the World will be our downfall. This is man-made, and so very sad.
Trees being cut down alot of times means beetle or other insect infestations. Or unhealthy forests that need rejuvenation. People living around there means they put the naturally occurring forest fires out. Fires are a way the forest regrows itself. You more than likely just see trees cut. But because you have a home there, they stop the fires. Most all timber companies anymore can only cut where it’s beneficial. You all use paper products, have a home and furniture made of wood, and have much more to do with it then you realize. But then want to blame the guy with the chainsaw as the problem… When in reality, that guy is doing your dirty work.
It is not told enough because our news sources are increasingly controlled by the corporate interest that helped put us in the condition that we are currently in. Hopefully things can change.There really needs to be a new consciousness that overtakes the masses. We can't continue to destroy bio diversity on this planet without it eventually catching up to us humans at some point.
@@jakethesnakestoner While capitalism and greed as a whole definitely accelerated this I think human nature with a mix of obliviousness inherently has lead to this.

I’ve said this before and I’m not a damn socialist but money and greed is what I blame. I believe greed has caused our climate to change drastically. It is all about the dollar now and eventually it will catch up. We as a planet have to stop tearing every part of our ecosystems to pieces. I pray for our future generations.
I was talking to my mother last night about growing up in the 80's and walking in the yard and grasshoppers would just jump in bunches with every step. At night fireflies would light up the yard flying and we'd watch them like magic. I haven't seen a grasshopper or firefly in decades. Something so common that made life feel alive as a kid is just gone.
You probably moved to an urban area. Half the population did, and that's where all the pollution in this country is centered. Energy, consumption, and development.

Not sure we have a population problem but more of a problem with living in excess. We consume more than we need and this causes an increased strain on resources.

I lied to a doctor back when I got married so that I could get sterilized and never have kids. I don't understand why everyone is scared to say we need to create less children and that's literally the only solution, so I'll say it. We need to quit being baby factorys and adopt instead or just don't have kids, if you have to have a kid have one then stop, why is that unacceptable for so many people?
That's 100% correct. People need to back off from having kids, at least for a generation or two. One or two should be as many as anyone wants... why would you want more? Ew. I won't be creating any brats, that's for damn sure. I won't be making this problem any worse.

Yes but I don't think anyone predicted it would happen this quickly. We are all on the Titanic and the Republicans are shuffling the deckchairs to try and keep us afloat. This was NOTTT the time to begin arguing about abortion again.
This can't be shocking to us, the scenarios have been ran by us constantly by scientists in every way possible to us since the 60's and 70's, and probably before. Lemmings follow their herds over cliffs, humans look to be significantly similar.
Those scientists are just guessing. They don't know what's going to happen. They keep everyone scared because it makes them money. They don't actually know how old the earth is or how the dinosaurs went extinct. It's all just a guess.

Where I grew up near Heidelberg, Germany, you were not allowed to swim in the river due to chemical pollution and many birds and mammals were nearly extinct, due to overuse of soil and too much chemical furtilizer. It is much better now due to several things : the farmers were forced by law to leave half a meter of soil as a fringe around their fields, plant hedges and trees as windbreaks and strongly reduce the nitrogen content and weed and insect sprays. The result is that wildflowers, bees, many old plants came back, as well as pheasants, storks and many birds like the green woodpecker and some we thought extrinct.
The farmers, one was a classmate, were pleasantly surprised that the soil quality got much better due to changes, simply by mixing cultures and the above.
Just saying that there are things humans can do to reverse some of the damage.

Sounds great. The trees and shrubs also help increase habitat, reduce soil erosion, increase on-site water detention, reduce storm water runoff and ground water pollution, increase organic matter for the soil and its microbes, and lower the ambient temperatures via shade and evapotranspiration/evaporative cooling.
Growing up in the Northwest Georgia area in the 1960s, our home had many shade trees surrounding it: oak, walnut, cedar, and hickory. One thing that remained a constant in our day to day life was the many varied bird species whose songs we heard from sunrise to sunset. After my retirement I recently moved back home to help care for our elderly mother. The trees were still there, but the birds and their beautiful songs were almost nonexistent; greatly diminished. I listened over the summer nights for the chirping of the crickets I so vividly remembered from my youth. In both instances, the silence has been deafening.
I’m in Tennesse, I’ve grown up and lived here since the 80’s. I’ve lived in a semi natural/ scenic area (becoming less so daily) within the city limits but I’ve seen the people change, and the attitude of the people toward nature change in drastic ways!
First, Cut down all the trees ( regardless of how old, majestic because we don’t want to deal with maintenance). Next, don’t worry about your trash, just throw it wherever you please! -That can be someone else’s problem!

Immigrants might not live the way you do, but to blame them is not only racist...it just isn't true.

Damn made a big mistake being born in the 2000's and not the fifties
I was born 1954. It wasn't all good times for everyone, but it was surely better than the dystopia we have now.
I was born in the 50s but planning to live another 100 years unless I burn up first.
@FarleyMan151 my parents were and I can say that I am glad they had that era. I don't dislike my life period but being born in 74 I missed half of the 80s which sucks. I think being born in the mid to late 60s would have been ideal. Hitting 1980 at 16 years old would have been prime.

Just like the story the old man tells in the film, Apocalypto… And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, "We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it." The Man said, "I want to have good sight." The vulture replied, "You shall have mine." The Man said, "I want to be strong." The jaguar said, "You shall be strong like me." Then the Man said, "I long to know the secrets of the earth." The serpent replied, "I will show them to you." And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop." But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"

Atm emissions are more important to curb than minerals, as time passes on these cars will need less and less minerals, or breakthroughs will happen where we may move to more sustainable minerals. If we continue on the path of expanding more into space, we may even be able to mine these minerals off planet to better preserve what we have here.

I live in Jackson Hole Wy. Next to Yellowstone. The billionaires and multi millionaires have taken over this place. Once they get here, they start or join animal habitat protection “non profits”… then tell others how they can’t live there or close to them because of “animal habitat”. Meanwhile they build huge “rustic” structures and tear up the habitat to put in modern manicured landscaping. Tell the locals where they can and can’t hunt, even though hunters know the area and populations and how to control it and keep a healthy strong population. They also only hunt for food usually. No matter what, all the animal is harvested for food. They also have the biggest, most expensive SUVs and maybe have 1 child, 2 at the most.. that’s taken care of by a Mexican nanny. Some only stay at these huge estates 1 month of the year at most. Their monthly electric bill is more than most peoples rent, and that’s them not even living there full time.

People tend to only show concern when major events or personal circumstances affect them. As humans, we often prioritize our own interests and fail to extend the same level of care and concern to others. This raises the question: why is it so hard to care for others? Perhaps it's because there's no monetary reward for doing so. However, if we want to make the world a better place, we need to start caring more. Though it may be challenging, it's important to start taking action now. After all, if we don't start now, when will we?
To answer that question I in encourage u to read the Bible

“Extinction catches Man by surprise because no one can even imagine that such a catastrophe can happen to an intelligent species.”
- Bill Gaede
And the survivors will be the only ones to produce offspring just like in the other mass extinctions …. It’s how we got here

This guy is a joke Dr Paul said London was supposed to be submerged by the year 2000 because of climate change Also in the '70s by 1985 United States was supposed to be in a Great starvation.
When I was in elementary, our school playground used to be full of bees, butterflies, and other insects during recess and we all used to play with the butterflies as kids. By middle school, they were all gone. The playground was just empty grass.
When I was growing up in NW suburban Chicago in the 50s, Monarch Butterflies were a very common sight. Now in rural southern Missouri I see one or two during the summer if I'm lucky.
I have been a practical conservationist all my life. I have kept honey bees for nearly 30 years. They tell an interesting story. I have seen the destruction of habitat, the damage from unfettered use of pesticides, the over fishing by both native and commercial fishing operations to name a few issues over the many decades of my life. I'm also pragmatic.
The earth has experienced 5 prior mass extinctions. I haven't heard anyone talk about the negative effects of those 5 events. After all, if they had not occurred we wouldn't even be here. We are only concerned about the one happening now. Why?
Some will say because we need to protect the helpless species as though we were smart enough to do that which we have categorically demonstrated we are not. If we are honest, the real reason we are concerned about it is because it is a threat to US individually. The earth has recovered with a massive explosion of new life after each extinctions so we can't logically say that it is that we are concerned about wiping out life permanently. Time will resolve any problems we create and new life will flourish again just as it has every other time. So it's really all about us and our selfishness. The earth doesn't need our help. We need the earths help and we need to take care of it if we want to continue.
In 600 years nobody is going to give a flip about you or what you did or didn't do. You won't even be remembered. In 60,000 years the earth will be rather different than what it is now regardless of what you do or we do as a species. In a million years our species, if we don't wipe ourselves out, will not be recognizable or bear any resemblance to what we are now.
So lets be honest and admit that any concern we have is really about us. Maybe then we can quit blaming everyone else and look at our own lives and see how each of us make decisions every day that are the real source of the problem. How much water do I use? How much energy do I waste? What foods do I eat? What housing do I consume? What do I throw away that could be recycled? Why do I have to fly in a jet 3000 miles to find a place to have fun? If your answer is because everyone else does it and my contribution is too minor to count, then YOU are the problem.
Yeah, well keeping honeybees is actually cause in competition with native wild bees, which is causing them to go extinct, and they are much more important than honeybees. So you can’t win I guess..

Sorry, the liberals only care about cute animals.
I’m in California and growing up use to see an influx of bumblebees during spring and summers. Stopped seeing the around the age of 15 and haven’t seen any since.
Took the time out one day to look at why that is and the population has declined by 84% due to pesticides, habitat changes and climate. So I know exactly what you mean.
I've lived in my current home in the northeast US for around 50 years. In that time, I've seen 90% of bird species disappear, wildlife which used to be plentiful is now rarely seen, and although I grown plants which usually attract bees, few ever show up anymore. Half the trees have been cut down in the area because people don't want to deal with falling leaves and pine cones, and wetlands are slowly being destroyed (illegally). Small forests in the area have disappeared, and houses are being built in their place.
There's no political will to face this kind of situation, and try to reverse it. People, in general, just don't care, or bury their heads in the sand, thinking that we will somehow magically survive the coming crises. I've been discussing population explosion for decades hoping that people will take it seriously, and what I've found out is that most people are too attached to gross consumerism without any thought to the inevitable consequences of their actions. At this point, I'm convinced that the only solution will be that nature will take care the problem, and we'll see more disease and famine, leading to another deadly world war... and that time may not be as far away as we think.

We really have to give it everything we’ve got. I don’t own much property. I own a quarter of an acre, a common plot. We plant wildflowers in our front and backyards. We moved here in 2013 and have seen a significant decline in the number of butterflies that visit every year. I have not counted though, so I could not offer up my observations as an official study. But I can tell you in the nine years that I’ve been here that we don’t see anywhere near the number that we used to just nine years ago. Between direct observation or from the security cameras that we have, we probably saw around 10 maybe 15 butterflies this year. In fairness, we were not observing 24 hours a day. It is entirely possible that millions of years of butterflies decided to travel a different route. I find that improbable though. I also have heard similar stories of people that have watched wildlife disappear. Similar experiences through direct observation. I don’t know any of these people and I am not conspiring with them to bring the electric car into production or whatever conspiracy holds true today.

The main thing that made me realise the rapid biodiversity decline was the lack of colours , especially in our rock pools at the beaches. They no longer look pretty and colourful, they are mostly green life now and not much life can be seen. The same is true when diving our reefs. I’m very sad that my kids and grandkids won’t get to see and feel this biodiversity brilliance 😢 It was truly breathtaking 🌏💚✨
ok
I live in Missouri and Table Rock Lake was made in 1958. It has crystal clear water when I grew up in the late 70's and 80's. I left the area and returned. I went to the Lake around 2005. I used a mask and snorkel to try free style diving. It was so green and merky I could barely see my hand at the end of my arm. Nasty!
OK. Give up air conditioning. give up 95% of modern conveniences. Donate a majority of your income to "green" charities. That way your children, etc. will be able to see pretty flowers and coral and stuff.
You can thank 1080 and all the pesticides the govt sprays on us. now with fluoride and chlorine in every water supply watch more and more of green NZ go black. thank your govt.

"We are definitely messing up the planet but only city folk are going to believe animals are "running out of places to live " Uhh, 90% of grasslands are gone, the health of all ecosystems on Earth is in decline, the size of the average population of species studied has declined 69% since 1970, and humans use 50% of the habitable land on Earth just to raise our food.

I remember it too in my hometown in Texas growing up there used to be frogs in any dense vegetation I even remember it raining more often there were tons more crickets and insects spiders etc in general. Now I never see a random frog in a yard anymore and it seems the dominant insects I see are flies and mosquitoes. Others like dragon flies, butterflies, moths spiders etc are all declining right in my front yard. I'm only 36.
not sure where you're at, but in my area of Texas there's tons of frogs, dragonflys, fireflies, butterflies, etc.... I was even blessed to have a huge garden spider spend almost 6 months in my garden until she decided to move on. During spring, there are so many frogs at night they drown out the sound of the trains and road noise. My backyard was full of dragonflies feasting on all the darn mosquitos and I always have wild rabbits in my front and backyard. I see bluejays, cardinals, ravens, red tailed hawks all over town and I'm north east of Austin.
I'm in Kentucky and have witnessed the same. It's nothing like fifty years ago.
YES, why don't the June bugs come in June and why don't the mayflys come in May anymore???

I’m 38 and I love in Texas and my grass is green so are my frogs but my mosquitoes are brownish black and I have an kinds of rodents and creepy crawlies and coyotes that are brown/tan/gray that howl every night and cows that mooo and eat grass and make milk 🥛 and just about everything else exists here 🙂

I provide honey bees with water in the desert of Baja Sur, Mexico. Not for my gain at all, but to help sustain them. Because they're cool. Because they keep me company. And, they are, after all, honey bees - pollinators extraordinaire! Is there really any other reason necessary?!
My hero!!😂
Honey bees are actually not natives. But, there are hundreds or more types of native and ground bees. I have an organic acre near a major city and provide water and native garden spaces for the bugs and bees. I see many bees, mantises, bugs, birds, and other wildlife in my yard. It's not that hard to do if you don't mind having native grasses, clover, etc. A perfect weed and feed lawn is not healthy, natural, or sustainable.
Honey bees are not native to the Americas...you are hurting our environment...not helping...did you know that?
As much as possible, make sure that the bees are getting pollen from all different kinds of plants. Years ago, entire hives of domesticated bees were dying off because beekeepers were sending the bees out to pollinate Almond trees (and not much else). As a result, the bees started dying from malnutrition.

Doing what I can in my tiny portion of the world. Here in Salt Lake City, Utah, I took out my lawn and am replacing it with local xeric plants and pollinators to give bees, Monarchs, hummingbirds and other insects a place to gain nourishment and procreate. I also now need significantly less water to maintain my landscape. It's a small gesture but if more people made changes like this, we could make a difference.

@Bernhard Schwarz business isn't real. jobs aren't real, money isn't real. humans need food, clean water, shelter, and community. our ancestors provided one another with each of these, and preserved them for the rest of life on earth too. we just watched a video about the entire biosphere crumbling around us because of capitalism built on resource extraction and your primary concern is still the economy????
@Bernhard Schwarz i didnt say economics werent real. i didnt say labor wasnt real. nor providing for your community. but "jobs," "businesses," "money" arent those things- theyre how a great many nation states nowadays express those things, and our beloved system has corrupted them. societal roles are the labor you wish to celebrate, while "jobs" serve the individual instead of the community. when all labor is commodified and exchanged for "money" and money is used to mask and hide community from you, it tricks you into thinking its all for you and you work for yourself. you *really* work for community, as we and all our ancestors used to or continue to do going back thousands of generations across the eons. but because that's all suppressed and even forcibly taken from people at the hands of systems like ours, individualism is incredibly easy to fall into. individuals arent bad, in fact theyre the basis of all life on this planet, but so are communities, its both at once. the selfishness and greed that money creates and which destroy communities cannot be overstated, nor can the lifestyle responsible for our planet's crisis. what the school system has really done is brainwash generations of children into being perfect soldiers and cops and propagandists of empire, little clockwork toys marching to their office jobs where they design bombs and turn blood diamonds into capital and topple entire societies with the swish of a pen all while returning to their cave at the end of the day and singing themselves to sleep to have dreams of ambrosia and their upcoming trip to (insert colonized nation here), only to pledge allegiance again in the morning for the loop to repeat. this "greatest country in the world" as so many like to say has outpaced and outreached every empire the planet has ever suffered before, it is the most demonic looter, briber, backstabber, murderer in history, and public schools have successfully convinced millions of people that that's a good thing.

I live in the middle of NY state, and the amount of trees I saw cut down the past few years just around where I live is astounding. We've known about this for decades. The greed of people all over the World will be our downfall. This is man-made, and so very sad.
i agree with you
You live..
you're part of the problem 🤣🤣
..TOTALLY agree.
Trees being cut down alot of times means beetle or other insect infestations. Or unhealthy forests that need rejuvenation. People living around there means they put the naturally occurring forest fires out. Fires are a way the forest regrows itself. You more than likely just see trees cut. But because you have a home there, they stop the fires.
Most all timber companies anymore can only cut where it’s beneficial. You all use paper products, have a home and furniture made of wood, and have much more to do with it then you realize. But then want to blame the guy with the chainsaw as the problem…

Racing is a good word to use for this because its happening very fast 8 billion people is just to much for our planet to sustain look at alaska they have had to shut down king crab and snow crab fishing 2 years in a row because theres hardly any crabs left they have been so overfished just like salmon im sure crab fishing will be shut down for a long time in alaska i own a seafood buisness in maryland crabs this year retail were almost $400 for a bushel of jumbos its insane almost $50 for a lb of jumbo lump crabmeat well i wish you luck my friend we are gonna need it because it seems not to many people care
And now the crabs are gone.
Large corporations need to be held accountable for their impact on earth.
Good luck with that. Who do you think controls the politicians?
