Its much the same as staying away of all the temptations in life for a full lifetime only to find out you only live a month longer then your neighbor who enjoyed every temptation in life.
Except that i think that here,on a "planet time" (
),months can rather be hundreds of decades...
-But that's only what i believe,i'm not an expert at all...You could be 200% true slicy
Edit : "2012 end of the world believers" I never heard of this...I find this as ridiculous as...a son of a god giving a visit to us...
lol, im no expert at all either. Just voicing my own opinion as are you. And when your voicing your opinion you can never be wrong. Ignorant perhaps (like this son of a god believers
) but never wrong.
Anyway, your right. In planet time it would be decades difference. But what are decades when your talking about the earth? The earth is million of years old. We can only stretch our own existence but mankind clearly shows no interest in this.
Thus I agree with your first point as well. Just a small example: water bottles. If you drink tap water it costs you about 0.003 euro a bottle. Water bottles bought in the store cost you about 1,50 euro if your lucky. Investigation has shown that the water in these water bottles are usually from the same source as tap water.
On top of that you need oil to produce plastic. Not a product we could easily waste.
So when i had to travel a lot a few months ago i bought 1 water bottle and used it for several months. No problems there. Water bottles do not loose strength, are easy to clean and pick up no odors. But when i addressed people nobody agreed with me.
Its more expensive
Wastes one of our most valuable resources
Plastic is bad for the environment because it degrades slowly
There is no disadvantage of using a bottle longer
If people cant even change their lifestyle after hearing such convincing statements then its never going to happen.
