Environment, Have Environmentalists Gone Too Far?
Population levels have risen considerably in the past two centuries and are contributing to the environmental issue. This is thanks to living longer and a better quality of life. But the more humans on the planet, the more food is needed. Animals are bred for food. Animals digest plants and other materials and then give off methane gas. Groups believe that these gases are the number one cause of the greenhouse gas effect. Those of us who eat meat might laugh at this but there is a kernel of truth to the argument.
Both animals and humans are responsible for producing carbon dioxide and methane gas. If you feel that there are too many animals in existence, it can also be pointed that there are way too many humans on our Earth, contributing to the problem of greenhouse gas as well. Is there a solution to this problem? Essays suggest that by mere existence, humanity has made its own issues environmentally. They go further to suggest world wide population regulations and the actual euthanasia of humans may be a viable solution to our self created environmental problems.
Many vegetarians feel that humanity needs to reduce the number of animals that are eaten. If you are not a vegetarian, you might think that there is no reason to even discuss this controversy. What it all amounts to, in the end, is personal beliefs and opinions. Facts and percentages can, and will, be manipulated to match ones opinions or preferences. It's as simple as that.
It is our responsibility to be aware of our actions and impact on an environmental issue. Humanity has already shown that we can change our wicked ways of polluting by helping save species that are becoming extinct, before they actually do. We have voted for legislation to ensure that corporations can not dump toxic chemicals into our landfills and water streams. When there is concrete information regarding the global warming debate, then we will take our part as well.
