Everybody is concerned about the environment nowadays. In schools, environment is major topic to test writing skills of students. People give stats like rate of depletion of forests going over the charts etc.
They say save resources. They say things like we have to think about the generation that are to come. But why? In my opinion these things are just going to ruin things even more. How? Well here's how -
The major power source are fossil fuels. Yes, there are hydro-power projects, solar energy, wind farms etc, but fossil fuels remain the main source of power. And these take a million years to form. So, no matter how much consumption rate we reduce, there 'stock' will finish someday.
Now let us think of a world where we actually have minimal consumption. There will be lack of comfort for us and for the coming generations too. You see, if we are compromising our comfort for the next generation, the next generation will do that to for the next. Yes, the survival time of our species will increase but there will be no comfort. High prices, lack of resources are some problems which will still be there. It just results in more people to be affected.
Suppose, we do use up all the resources now, the world will end right now. Lesser people are affected. (since only the present of the next two at maximum are effected while in other case, more generations will be affected). In this case, only we are affected and the coming generations do not suffer.
Isn't it better that only we suffer. The lesser the people suffer, the better it is, isn't it?
We must accept it that now nothing can be done. Our world is going to end, now or later. And it's better that lesser people suffer of it....
