Head for a better world

'Environmentalism is a broad philosophy and social movement centred on a concern for the conservation and improvement of the natural environment, both for its own sake as well as its importance to civilization. Environmentalists frequently speak of a planet or place faced with a plethora of grave and urgent threats; often associated with unbridled consumption, economic growth, materialism, insensitive development, and booming human numbers. Perhaps most problematic from an environmentalist perspective is the modern view that humanity's fate is divorced from that of the natural world, and that our responsibility to nature is - at best - limited to the satisfaction of shallow desires.

In various ways, environmentalists and environmental groups seek to give the natural world a stronger voice in human affairs and struggle to make governments, industry and other institutions see the importance of ecology and to treat nature with greater respect. Many environmentalists see common cause with indigenous communities and other marginalized groups struggling to protect their traditional way of life or freedom from blind commerce and other global incursions.' from Wikipedia.

Why do people still pollute the environment knowing that they are creating a huge problem to their grandchildren?Is it because they think their actions won't make a difference?Don't they care about the fact that they might get lung cancer which they could avoid if they made an effort?

There are over 6 billion people on earth,most of them not polluting at all (underdeveloped countries),how is it possible that a few million people pollute a planet with over 500 000 000km2?

A Seat Ibiza 1.4 TDI Ecomotive 3 door emits around 99g of CO2/km while a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster emits around 495g/km!If 2 billion people drove a Seat for a yearly 2000km they'd emit around 369 000 000 tons of Co2 every year. If they drove a Lamborghini they'd emit 1 845 000 000 tons of CO2 a year.
