Our Planet’s Future?

Here’s another clever message to the effect that we’re failing miserably to take care of our only home, and that it’s our money-motivation that’s driving this catastrophe.

When I was a small boy, I read that the side effects of capitalism would eventually destroy this planet.  Now, that was in the mid-1960s, long before ideas like this became mainstream. There were no bleached coral beds, sunny-day flooding, massive wildfires, and record-setting heat waves.

At this point, the truth about our environmental collapse is readily available to everyone, but we don’t seem to be any closer to implementing solutions.  Why?  They’re somewhat expensive.

As Kurt Vonnegut said, ““We’ll go down in history as the first society that wouldn’t save itself because it wasn’t cost effective.”
