    As for enviroment rights here I go.

    Alright were probably all gonna die soon because all the land their destroying to build more houses for people and old houses they could remake to use for people instead of destroying them. Doesn't that kind of make you made how animals don't have much homes now and were having like no landscape anymore because of new houses. I mean you could go to like parks and stuff where they protect it from building anythin their but who wants to go to soem park far away when you could just walk into your backyard and see the sunny sky and deer eating and open feilds. Now wouldn't it be nice if you had like a party out their instead or either have a pool out their and be relaxing on a big layed out chair and look up and see the nice sky. Think of perfect weather too. Not to hott not to sunny. Here in NJ we don't get to many of those. Maybe every few months or so we'll have those. Well give your oppinions or rate it thanks all!!!

    Well as long as people want to keep having kids and the populaton goes up, we're gonna have to build more houses. And as for animals not having houses, well I must say I always liked not living like a wild animal.
     
  3. 1. population control
    2. disallow the maintenence of unused buildings (all those historical monuments)
    3. massive preservation of land
    4. better urban design to avoid urban heat bubbles

    only way we can do it and since 1 and 2 won't happen and 3 and 4 look pretty damn improbable we'll kill ourselves off in a fairly anticlimatic way......


    if we don't nuke ourselves first.....

    hmm, well first of all, we are going ot become way over populated if we start to loose our heads on this stem cell shit. people, im sorry RICH people like the president for esample, are going ot me immortal becaue they will be able to breed genes that survive, and make super humans, no one but the poor people will die, and then heres a dictatorship becaus eoms epeople who are in control of it are immortal. the rest of us "citizens" will come and go. but my point being eventually were all going to be immortal and overpopulated. another point is that animals cant fend for themselves against us, and that just hsows we either have a long way to go in evolution (selective something or another) where they will learn and grow to "beat" us. minds will get bigger and such. or that we arent doing our jobs and taking care of them, forcing them to evolve faster. or we'll just kill them off, but i doubt it. the world, nature the universe had its own way of sustaining life. i believe that if we get too out of control, our universe will put us in check by killing us off and starting again, or showing some of us the way to evolution and intelligence to life amongst eachother, i dont know i think too much , heh
     
  5. just kill all the stupid people....


    and it's not an i.q. thing it's the people who do things like ogle at a fender bender and slow down traffic for 30 miles back making everyone else late to work

    it's the people who feel that if they yell loud enough and speak slowly enough anybody can understand them

    it's the people who say nuculer

    that'll cut the population in half, easy.........

    Humans will become extinct some day. As will most animals, then other animals will take their place. It's been happening for millions of years.
    I don't believe that humans will be any different, just look at cancer and HIV in the last 100 years.....and no cure in sight. Humans are just going to be less quiet about it, no going out gracefully...:D

    I know of a guy who bought 3 or 4 empty lots and kept them empty... he converted 2 lots into community gardens, where folks rent a square metre or two to garden some veggies. I think that this is pretty brilliant... keeps a little bit of green in our suburbs.

    the governments main priority housing wise is to develop on brownfield sites so they are trying to reuse the land where possible since it can be contaminated and unsuitable for other uses, but then the popluation is growing while the world isnt so they cant do that forever

    We're already way, WAY overpopulated to the point where merely maintaining our 6.5 billion human population requires agricultural methods that are severely disrupting natural ecosystems (erosion and massive topsoil loss caused by too much grain farming, and then the very fact that to grow so much requires the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides that are highly toxic. And did I mention factory farming? Even outside of factory farming, you have to bear in mind that one of the main reasons the rainforests in South America are being torn down is for AGRICULTURE).

    This is compounded with the fact that the human population is continuing to rise at an ever-faster rate.

    In regards to land usage, this is made *even worse* by the fact that people want bigger, bigger, and bigger in regards to homes and land. I read an article in a local newspaper a few months ago about how many people who buy new homes buy places that are so huge that it takes a tremendous amount of energy just to keep it all warm - and then there are many parts of their homes that these people do not make regular use of.

    I think this is much more alarming than people tend to give it credit for, though it's not surprising that people don't make much of a fuss over it. Since most people are not directly reliant on nature for survival (and thus do not actively see what is happening), it's much easier to either deny or rationalize what we are collectively doing. People these days are becoming born, expecting to all think they have a "right" (like the American "right" to cheap oil, heheh) to these kinds of gluttonous lifestyles.

    I must admit I was like you once, all stop the building & buying of land & what not. But dude, have you even been across country? or any where outside of jersey? I once took a 4 day trip from California to New York on greyhound & I've seen it with my own eyes. No joke, 90% of it out there is undeveloped.

    Truthfully

    90% ha, maybe in antartica...

    If you feel strongly enough about it look at yourself and change how you live, and hope and pray that others will follow your example. talk to your government about your concerns and do something about it. save some money and buy some land. put it to good non comercial use. If you still have to live in the city do so while doing as much as you can...

    I'm just tired of people saying they are concerned and then stopping at mcdicks drivethrough in there hummer, whilst smoking a cigar and drinking coffee plus talking on their cell phone, ordering 20 big macs and throwing all the garbage out the window on there way to an "enviromental change meeting".
