POST 1: "THE GIRL WHO SILENCED THE WORLD" REFLECTION


            What has our world become? What Severn Suzuku spoke in front of our politicians, business men, and delegates more or less then a decade ago.I used to think about what she says all the time. I used to also think what those in Brazil thought. If I was rich, I would help those who needed it, even if that meant I didn’t get any of the wealth. I am glad somebody spoke upon things that are important to our health, our planet, and our future, although this was so long ago and nothing much has really changed. Today, our generation and government care about who has what new investment, who has the most money, and who has the power. We lack the knowledge of what is really occurring. Although some may believe that saving a forest is not as important as having people out of the streets and ending wars, we could incorporate more energy efficient things into these procedures as well as distribute the goods that Americans and many others are selfish with. Many environmentalist stand outside to collect money to raise awareness and save certain things that will effect all of us rather than just their beliefs, but we fear fraud or being late to the next thing on our schedules. Today, we are too busy to think of the big future, and think of only what is right in front of us. Today, our generations care more about the technologies of the world for personal enjoyment rather than the technologies that could save lives. We are becoming more reliant on the resources that are decaying and the animals that are dying. We are not looking within ourselves to ask the right questions or taking the right actions to lead our own fates. What will you do to save your life, your kids lives and other lives?
