For generations, millions of people have tried to save the Earth. Don’t use plastic, don’t buy gas, turn off the lights, stop the engine, walk more, eat less. Save the trees, save the bees. By all means, these are skills we need to embrace to counter the effects of consumerism, but saving the Earth is a different game. I think we are looking at this huge problem the wrong way. It is impossible to save the Earth. We don’t have that kind of power; by power, I mean knowledge. If we can save something, we can save ourselves. We are part of this planet, as trees and bees. Our desire to be different, our socio-political framework won’t allow this. We solve this issue and the planet, and we might survive. As for the planet, it will be just fine with or without us.
