Is there anything we can really do?


So, I have to agree with the majority that humans are ruining the planet. Our population is out of balance in basically every country, whether it be India with its crazy population growth or Europe with its severe drop in population. World population is out of hand, and while it may seem beneficial to have countries such as Europe experience large drops in population, it is ruining the economy and changing all of the country's dynamics.  And there are obvious reasons for countries like India causing negative impacts on the planet with the billions of people using up the earth's resources. I really don't think that there is much we can do to help our current situation. Lowering the population causes problems, but so does keeping the rates high. How are education and raising awareness of the problems that we humans are causing on this earth going to help/change anything? If these methods were to truly work, everyone on the planet would have to be involved and willing to comply with family planning efforts as well as efforts to create a more sustainable earth, but honestly, I think there is no hope for a change any time soon...

I like the true sarcasm and hopelessness. But it is going to be upto your generation to make the change. You are going to be the litmus test for this planet's survival or doom! I am not very optimistic, but for the sake of your generation and the generations to come, I hope the things turn out the way that I don't think they will!!!

Exactly.

Looks like we're doomed.
