The obsession with the pollution issue

Every week, every day and every hour, somehow we encounter the issue about pollution. All the time, it seems. We are brainwashed by media. It has us in a tight grip and people makes money on our foolishness.

Okay, sure. Nothing is black and white and we should take care of our environment, but we don't have to make such a big deal about it.

Why do we think about how almost everything we do will effect the environment?

Is that healthy?

I think it's like an obsession and it makes us feel good when we buy ethanol instead of normal gas for our cars. We feel good when we take the bike instead of the car and etc. Like we're providing something for the society. People use that. And make money on that. Never forget.

And then, we come to the next question...

Is our obsession with the environment useful?

Really. Come on.

Why would the environment change if we didn't flush our toilets as much or if we wouldn't use our dishwashers?

Really. Seriously.

Sure, the pollution is a problem, and now when India and China are evolving everyone is scared and our obsession with saving the planet gets even bigger.

We forget all other problems when we get fixated by the global warming.

That's not good.

And I'm not saying that it's bad to buy things that's healthier for the planet and us. The opposite. It's good. But, here's what I'm saying;

Don't feel like you're making a change, because you're not.

We've been destroying our planet for ages. All we're worth is to be killed by ourself. That would be so typical humans. If we're meant to die we'll simply die. (Even tough, the planet is changing all the time. Just read about how a volcano can affect the global warming!) Nothing you'll do with your car, dishwasher or heating system will save the planet.

We're doomed in approximately a million years. Deal with it and stop giving easy money to bad people.
