The Planet

[junegreenjeans]

Dear Blue/Green Lighters around the Globe. Understanding this is mainly a drug forum site this may be construed as off topic but I am curious what you fine people think about this space ship we all call home. How many of us are recycling, composting, collecting rain water, re using plastic bags or using cloth, backyard gardens or mini ones on your deck, stuff like that.
What do you do to help out? I'm curious about how many of us out there are taking steps and how; share your idea's ie. vertical farms in the Cities and if your not doing stuff, well, why not?

The planet? If I had the means I would probably just nuke the whole thing because mankind is basically nothing more than a cancer on it, including myself.

I bet you've been a complainer you're whole life.

 

[junegreenjeans]

anyone else?

I bet you've been a complainer you're whole life.

I'm not complaining just telling it like it is. I'm not the only one who feels this way. Well, except maybe the nuking part. It would basically just be like chemotherapy for the planet tho. lol

Hey! I'm one of those who composts, grows my own food, plants trees, all that stuff. Thankfully it's gotten more common along the years! I live in the tropics, so for ideas I tend to refer more to tradition than media, because many of the examples on the net and books are from the West.

Right arm Dtergent; yes it is becoming a wider spread network of us doing our due in our own backyards. Well, F____ing brilliant. May it spread like wild fire. thanks for your words.

I recycle plastics, aluminium, steel and electronic components. In my old neighbourhood I helped lobby for the town to budget funding for a major water quality and wetlands sustainability project which was a great success. Nowadays I'm too busy trying to get my career started to get involved with local government but I have some community projects in mind that I want to recruit for in the next year or two. At the very least I think anyone can find time to get involved in community litter cleanup days, they're a lot of work but seeing the results makes it all worth it.

Yahoo Thujone, and its folks like you that will get us all through this next chunk of time. We read, get inspired and suddenly a few more of us do something to help. Amazing how potent we can be united. Incredible the power we have in numbers.
So very good and uplifting to read what you have done. I think it's great; thanks for sharing.

Cheers It's not such a big deal for me, I just enjoy being out in nature where the fruits of one's labours are literally fruits you can eat and survive off of. In the modern world, there's too much abstraction between us and the planet. We need more nature in our cities and suburbs to remind people that we're a part of the earth just like any other animal, otherwise people will continue to disrespect our living space and allow business interests to shit toxic crap into it non-stop

 

[junegreenjeans]

Oh yeah, surely do. I keep hoping for a mass movement on vertical farming in City centres and some kind of global blanket of realization that yes, we ARE part of that Nature and we rely on those main elements to breath, hydrate, eat and keep warm;
Lots of us humans here but man are we ever disconnected. I have hope though, I have allot of hope we can turn things around and when we consider each household doing something to help out, well, that's huge and it adds up.
write on man.
