It seems to me that “environmentalists” lack the basic understanding of the difference between changing your surroundings and changing the environment.
If my eyes are burning and I’m choking on smoke maybe it's time to open the vent at the top of my teepee.
The environment is a term that encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. If you happen to be a “living thing” in the environment, or some region thereof, the only way to survive is to consume the environment. The environment is one of many of God’s gift to man.
Here’s the way it works. You burn the trees around you to keep from freezing to death or you cut off their branches to build a hut on the beach to prevent yourself from being burnt to death on the sand.
As a “living thing,” to think that you have the power to change the environment is to take on the intelligence of say… a rock; a “non-living thing.”
Humm…? Maybe that’s the way to go. After all, most rocks were on Earth long before “living things” were ever considered and will remain on earth long after they die.
The downside of course is that it’s a scientific fact that no rock has ever experienced an orgasm. Which begs the question; where did the phrase “getting your rocks off” come from?
