  1. As the human population keeps on increasing, that results in more air, water, and land pollution. As humans keep reproducing at a faster rate than humans are dying, common sense tells us that we are polluting more, rather than less. Pollution is a fact of life, and unless there is a major catastrophe, such as a nuclear war ... we will keep polluting, because that is just how much all of us enjoy our personal comforts. It’s not fair to blame the manufacturers of the products, because if we weren’t buying … they could not be selling. So ... let us not point fingers at others … or expect governments to clean up the impossible messes that all of us keep on creating. What we destroy might ultimately destroy us … and that is only fair. Meanwhile, we should keep our fingers pointing at ourselves … where they belong.

  2. Many years ago, I had a conversation with a man who thought of his self as being a staunch environmentalist. He said that HE would not accept advertising flyers in his mailbox, because they were unnecessary, and contributed to pollution. When I asked him if he cared that there were people depending on us for their financial incomes, accepting those flyers in the mail, he said that he didn't care, and that they could find other jobs that would give them their sources of financial income. The bottom line is, we are all self-indulged polluters, and I suggest that that word "environmentalist" leaves everything to be "desired."
