Have you ever heard of Earth Overshoot Day?
They say that every year since the 70's we have used more natural resources than the earth can provide in a year. For 2015 ever since August 13th we have been using natural resources that should have been saved for next year. They say by 2050 we will be using 3 planets worth of natural resources. I wonder how long we can keep using so much natural resources before we use up all of the natural resources. Here is the website that talks about it. http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/earth_overshoot_day/

How would that even work?
I guess we'll be using three times as much resources that will be naturally sustainable. If we've been overshooting since August 13th this year, we're currently using just under resources that would be sustainable by two planets.
Makes it a bit more clear then.
Climate change is a hoax. We are not damaging Earth, because Earth was made for us by God. He wouldn't allow us a planet we could destroy.
But the Earth is still a sacred and beautiful place, and we shouldn't cover it with concrete and cut down its forests, even if it's God's creation or just the product of billions of years of progress!
This world doesn't matter. It's all about the next world.

You dare mock my beliefs?
Oh the oppression!
I'm looking forward to when the human race gets wiped out, than when the human race stops the destruction to the environment.
Way to generalize.
Optimistic?

Poe's Law? That only applies to sarcasm. I'm being completely fro shizzle, ma nizzle.
I like animals more than people. At least with a animal they don't hide what they think, or front some fake emotions.
