Wow...powerful ad, especially when the french fries land on the mans feet. I was like Buhhhh!! Awful!

I cant imagine anyone doing those things, but its happening, slowly but surely, even yesturday I was driving my truck and watched as a bag flew out of the cab onto the highway. Where does it end up? Slowly but surely, in the ocean, I cant pull over, its gone.

Smart practice isnt good enough with plastic, we need to reduce its use or only allow for plastics that completely break down.

But then even the fish will eat them and they get into birds.

Its a lose lose situation, so long as we even produce these products.

Metal and glass is the future, we HAVE to get rid of plastic for use by the general public.

Slayer you're spot on !! I believe that the elite do know something they are not speaking about. Everyone has a sixth sense and a foreboding about the coming days. We are just pawns in their masterful game !! GREAT post slayer !!

Nice job! I'm wordless. ( But there are ALWAYS ways to circumvent the rules.)

A very well done thread Slayer Although I must urge caution about some of our newer energy solutions. We must be careful that we don't make a change of a equal problem. It seems that the underlining problem is above all greed. Followed close by those who will embrace any change just for the sake of change. As much as people hate to admit it we do have a method of population control, its called war. Although now we affect the world as much as ourselves with it. Modern society reminds me of old myths about human hubris towards the gods. In our arrogance we seek to place ourselves at the pinnacle of creation. All it will take is our creator{s} to remind us of our true place in the grand scheme of things.

Couldn't agree more !! tptb forced plastics on us as a more economical way to package things. When sodas came in returnable bottles they were used many many times. But the cost of cleaning them became less cost effective when plastic bottles came to the fore front. We need to return to reusable glass products,they are better for the earth and kids can cash them in for the deposit.

Our planet will cleanse herself again one day...of all her vermin. Maybe with help...maybe not. Unfortunately, those who always cared and saw and did not treat her with disrespect will more than likely be swept up right along with those who didn't. This depresses me to no end. I always cried with the man in that commercial...still do. Ugh...it sucks feeling so helpless.

Brilliant thread, Slayer69. Always a pleasure to read your incite on the important issues of the day. However, your take on this particular subject could quite possibly be the major issue of our age. Every topic you have touched on seems to be assault on humanity, one that encompasses numerous fronts, and all happening simultaneously.

From environmental degradation through out the four corners of the world, massive die-offs in birds, bats, bees, frogs, ect, abnormal weather conditions in practically every locale, indefinite warfare, potential for cataclysmic worldwide economic insolvency, elites building lavish bunkers, and the list goes on and on. I am no doomsayer and I would love to see things in a better light, but it seems things are coming to a head now?

The dominoes are falling in quick succession. This is definitely a historically time before us, and who know where it is going to go? Are we experiencing in the warning shots of a potential extinction level event? Like others on here and elsewhere, I am reading the tea leaves and something wicked this way comes. We can recycle, make our homes energy efficient, cut down on excess, try to eat healthy, treat each other with kindness and compassion, and on and on. However, it will be of little use, but to only potentially bring comfort and well being in our personal lives. I don't see any positive change globally. There is a big crap sandwich in store for us, and everyone is going to have to take a bite. It seems things are coming to a head, and where we go from there will be upon us. All we can do is try to batten down the hatches and weather the storm. Star and Flag!

Do what we can.
Teach as we go.

That is all we can do. Hopefully, some get the memo before it is too late. One way or another the wheels are going to fall off. It has happened in the past to our ancestors, and they survived. We can either band together as they did, or perish by slowly cannibalizing ourselves in the hysteria that is bound to come.

They faced the Ice Age, the Toba event, the Dark Ages, World Wars, and other serious affronts to global comfort. We have proven to be a resourceful species, and once again we will have to rely on that. Hopefully, we as a species have not forgot that core element? We just need to put our noggins together on this one and look out for each other. What you said in those two short sentences is exactly all that can be done at this point.

Hopefully the dead are not powerless. Dead, did I say? There is no death, only a change of worlds.
