It is kind of a hard word to say and spell yet it is a very important word in our world today. There are truly hundreds of companies who research and support sustainability from corporate and human to environmental. Let's call sustainability something else from now on because it is such a difficult word to type over and over again. Let's call it: long term, basically, how to make things last. That is all it is anyways right? People researching how to make things last. Let's face it if one does not know how to make a corporation last it will fail hence why people need things such as long term , how to make things last, research analysts whom pay scientists, and many other people to promote long term effectiveness. What about long term effectiveness in long term environmental solutions?
Long term goals for our earth for instance are researched and analyzed by hundreds of people who have PHD's in environmental areas of study, such as marine biology or those scientists who study litter in the ocean, I can't remember what they are called. Anyways, millions of dollars is put into answering the question : How do we make the earth last? Well you can probably think of many solutions off the top of your head that would help the earth. So can I, stop littering so the ocean can be clean so the sea animals and fish can have sustainability, stop littering so the giant hundred mile long rings of garbage in the ocean can start to maybe be eliminated. Not littering is at the top of my list for sure. But what about the rain forests, extinct animals and plants, the oceans fish which are literally, no pun intended, being fished off of the earth.
What about the pollution which is giving people cancer in China? What about the logging operations which not everywhere, but in a lot of places, are stealing animals homes and forcing them to move or die. Wow we humans are pretty apt to kick anyone or anything out of whatever we think is ours. I know we live in our modern day and we have our cell phones and our computers, which I am using right now!, and our nice clothes, our nice cars, we have all our manmade prized possessions at our disposal and all we have to do to is not litter or find ways to better dispose of our waste and we don't do it. Instead we, humans, hire people to figure out what went wrong, what we can do better, and all the while the real problems are in our faces. If you thought I was joking about the rings of waste in the worlds oceans, look it up. It is a real thing. Our toothbrushes, hairbrushes, milk jugs, pop bottles, nail files, computer and cell phone batteries, and other parts, we can't recycle everything. Can you imagine how many people in the world own toothbrushes, or drink from milk cartons, or use nail files, or throw away cell phone and computer parts. That is just the beginning. Why not be aware?
I figure the more I know the more I am armed with to go out against the world we live in. The world that has it granduers, it's chaos, it's beauty, and it's pain.....And littering doesn't just mean the little gum wrapper you throw out the car window either, we are littering all the waste we use everyday all over the earth. I am guilty, you are guilty, now how can we all live a little smarter? I think just by educating your self, you get smarter: get it.
