Should 98% of people be poor to save the planet (1 Viewer)

[GodKingTeshub]

Human consumption is causing climate change and the planet is dying. It’s getting hotter, it’s moving faster, the magnetic field is unstable, there’s more lightning strikes that kill people, fires burning in cold places and sudden deaths occurring more frequently. The only way to combat this is for people to change their way of life:

- much less travel
- purchase less
- eat recyclable food products (no meats or farm grown crops)
- live in smaller houses
- use less electricity, gas and water less

If not by 2050 it will be too late to save the planet. You can start by spending less on albums and save the money to buy future sustainable homes. Due to depleting resources most people will eventually be poor so all you can do now is prepare ahead of time. 100 Things You Can Do to Save the Planet

usually if your poor then you wont have the needed access to food, not enough access to feed you and your family efficiently.
hunger leads to starvation and starvation leads to death
if you tell people to make their own farm, its dumb. they need money to create a farm and build it up
i dont know how to explain this better
but just the concept of money has ruined the world since it became a thing, basically.
so being poor or rich wont help you at all
everyone is going to die
the planet is going to die eventually
the sun is going to die
our galaxy is going to fade away
so.

You just dropped some serious knowledge. I'm all for saving the planet but in the end does it really matter? It's going to die eventually. Whether in 2050 or a long time from now when the sun dies.

Yes bro
its gonna happen either way
whether it dies and becomes inhabitable because of pollution or because the sun dies
it really doesnt matter

It may seem a little selfish, but I'm not gonna change my entire lifestyle to save the earth lol. I just wanna enjoy my life on this hell of a planet. It almost seems like we live to work and not work to live. First the government needs to make some changes, then I'm willing to adjust a little.
We already need to use less electricity, gas and water cuz It's literally getting unaffordable here.
But these are just my opinions, sorry If I offend someone with it.

It's an "do as I say, not as I do" deal. Imagine if everyone took that yolo mindset, they wouldn't be taking the vaccines, travel during the middle of a pandemic, they would have unprotected s*x, and do all sorts of immoral and unethical things just because "we're going to die anyway". The world will go to hell sooner than any solar catastrophe could catch up to it. The best solution is for everyone to do their part so the ending won't come as quick or as painful

This line just blew my mind. I never thought of it that way but you are right. And this mindset all started with money like another user pointed out.

the world could any day, so dont say sooner.
there is no 'part to do' either, we have no purpose.

Exactly. We need money to survive. And we almost all need to work full time nowadays to afford all the bills, do fun things but also to save up a little bit which is getting impossible. Saving up for retirement is hard nowadays, we can't even fully enjoy our retirement later cuz we are gonna struggle with money in this crazy economy. The house prices are also insane here, it's pretty much impossible to buy a house when you're alone and renting one is very expensive too. So living in smaller houses like someone suggested isn't even possible lmao.
This also reminds me of something. My grandfather said yesterday, that they used to pay 20 cents for fries and 5 cents for mayonnaise a long time ago which is probably around 4 euros now. Earning 150 euros monthly was considered a lot back then. That's not even a month worth of groceries now. The economy has gotten so crazy.

Houses are insane! I've been looking to buy a house this summer but its impossible. I'm single so theres no way I can afford a house by myself. It's so frustrating.

Yea I get ya, that's really frustrating.. I hope you can find something affordable soon enough Or maybe meet the love of your life and eventually buy a house together lol

I have actually thought before that society is punishing me for being single. From their perspective if you want a house then you better get married.
