Save the planet. I have been hearing this mantra since the late 60's. At that time I was six to seven years old. Even at that tender age (Perhaps to the continued brainwashing), I had an image of what that could mean. Fresh air and water. A return to nature. Ample wildlife.
My father being more experienced considered how recycling will affect costs. His understanding was such that he realized retooling would cause a temporary spike in prices in order to fund this environmentalist undertaking. He felt sure this undertaking would be accomplished in less than a decade. After which reusing, recycling and reducing waste would lead to lower costs in producing goods.
His reasoning being that since recycling will lead to little need for harvesting trees, mining aluminum etc. Reusing would save the family budget for obvious reasons, as it would manufactures. The same would be true for reducing.
Flash forward 40 years. Plastic bottles are thinner, (More flimsy), due to less use of polyethylene. Has that improved the family economy. Has the price of your bottled water decreased or increased? Houses are built of recycled wood called fiber board. Have housing prices gone up or down? Fuel usage is reduced through more efficient engines and alternative fuels. What have you seen become of the price of gas?
What examples can you think of concerning how environmentalism has saved your family economy let alone the national economy? Think of how the wildlife has become more abundant. If you have any other thoughts concerning the environmentalists plan/lie has come to fruition please comment.
