Comment Retarded Resource Spending. (Score 1) 759

We have plenty of space. We are not at our tipping point. We are simply spending resources like a drunk sailor. Think for a moment about the amount of resources that is being spent in self destruction. Frivolous things like alchohol, candy (especially candy), and junk food. A detriment to our health in every single way. The amount of resources poured into research, physical items, shipping, consumption and then hospital visits. It is a huge waste, a tremendous waste even. What about all the damn toys? Plastic crap that breaks for nothing, being shipped over from another continent most often, simply because kids are bored. Sure kids should have something to play with, but the amount of toys that are being sold and wasted it ridiculous. Look around you. What items do you have in your own home that is wasteful? I got more pens that I certainly need and notepads I'd probably never use, and that is just looking at my desk. Could go into length about all the bad food I have eaten before, creating skin problems (eczema) and thus I needed medical supplies of various kinds. I corrected my eating habits, and my problems went away. I eat less with my new eating habits. I'm consuming less and producing less waste. Do you really care? If you care about this you will take the time to really figure out how you can be more efficient. Do you buy more than needed? Are you wasting your own resources (time and money)? Do you buy silly toys for your children, family in general that is rarely or never used? I don't want you to restrict yourself to nothing. The only thing I want is to engage your mind. Think about the steps involved, necessary, for creating that little thing you buy that is frivolous and not necessary at all. If you want to change the world you need to start with yourself. Does not have to be in a douchebag, "I am holier than thou" kind of way, but simply changing your own set up.
Rome was not built in a day (I know, I hate clichès, that one especially) and the same goes for changing the world. I can argue for the "be a part of the solution, not the problem", but I don't need nor want to judge anyone. I will do what I feel is morally correct, yeah, I'm that guy. Even if you have read through my rant and feel it is all BS, just remember one little thing; Doing nothing is definitly not the solution (if you want to do anything about it though).
