#saving the planet

[janthesevenette]

Anyway, not-so-friendly reminder that nihilism/doomerism/accelerationism is a conspiracy theory meant to keep people complacent and docile in the event of an authoritarian regime, and the online Left really needs to start shunning these groups with the same vehemence that we shun radfem/terf groups.

The biggest threat to systemic evil is hope, and this nonsense “the world will never get better, so why bother trying to make it better” ideology literally exists to serve those systems. The doomerism movement is pro-capitalist, pro-fascist, pro-authoritarianism, etc. because they accept these systems as inherent to the nature of humanity, unable to be changed… which is exactly what the fascists running the system want. After all, why resist the rise of evil if evil is always inevitable? Why fight to make the world a better place if the world is just going to end soon anyway? Why not just stand aside and let the authoritarians do their thing? It doesn’t even matter anyway, right?

The point is, the Left is far too tolerant of doomerism, and it’s driving me insane.

11 Ways To Give Back To Our Planet On Earth Day

Observing Earth Day reminds us of our responsibilities as tenants of this planet, our duty to make it last for current and future tenants; people, animals, plants and precious resources that make up this crazy place we inhabit. Aside from the green-theme carnivals and other events, it highlights the urgent environmental issues, such as climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss, which…

THE BEAUTY OF THE ANDIES

South America, a place of nature containing the wildest and most beautiful areas left on this planet. It’s where nature still displays some of its greatest wonders, and where the giant condor spread their wings as they fly into the thin air above fifteen thousand feet. It’s here that man struggles to breathe being unable to draw sufficient oxygen to exist. The wonders of snow covered peaks stretching for miles down the spine of this vast continent, where flowers bloom and transform the often barren landscape into natures wonderful garden. Places where once David Attenborough took us to see the amazing wildlife. Where the air was so pure they set up telescopes to look into space. Today this is where man is mining for Lithium, to save the world? whilst you drive around in your electric cars feeling content that you are doing your bit to save the world remember where everything comes from and how it gets to you.

Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia and into El Salvador they mine, producing millions of tonnes of lithium.  All along the high salt plains a vast industrial expansion is taking place as governments look for finance and investment, to move their countries forward into the 21st century. Many of these people have suffered from bad management of their economies, currencies being destroyed by hyper-inflation and in some cases corruption, so these politicians are looking for a shortcut back to prosperity.

Humans are working shiftwork to keep these industrial monoliths working continually, a few weeks at a time is all that sea level humans can handle before their bodies give up. However, machines can continue working endlessly, adjusting the flow of air and increasing petrol and diesel flows into these machines as CO2 is pumped out into the upper atmosphere. This clearly accelerates the amount of CO2 going into the stratosphere at a much faster level, do they care? NO! the other problem is the amount of water consumed. To produce one ton of lithium carbonate requires five hundred thousand gallons of water much of which is recycled, however, as with any industrial process water is contaminated and so are many water courses. This results in less natural drinking water for both humans, birds and animals, who will be the winners when industry has destroyed the natural clean water we all need to drink to survive? Who will care?? Certainly not governments or industry.

I have highlighted South America because of the rapid effect of their operations on the atmosphere and damaged to a delicate environment. But lithium is being mined in many countries around the world most countries in North and South America, giant mines in Australia, vast tracts of Africa and Asia are being ripped up. So when there are water shortages just for drinking in many of these places, to prioritise washing out brine or crushed rock to extract this element are we really saving the planet or just destroying it another way?

The measurement of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen dramatically in the past year, which goes against what is being carried out by many countries using wind and solar energy. By rights there should be a slowing into the atmosphere, so where is all the extra Carbon coming from?

I am sure many of you have seen Gold Rush, get rich by extracting the glittering metal to put into a hole in the bank, hard work, in dangerous conditions, but one common factor is giant diesel and petrol machines and so it is with all large mining operations.  However, in modern society money talks even rules so I ask again  are we saving the planet or just destroying it another way?????

JUST STOP OIL  Or JUST STOP LITHIUM?

How did I save water yesterday

On Monday it was a holiday so I didn't need to take a bath on the morning because I was sleeping (too lazy to wake up early). Then I went out with my mom at 10 am to eat breakfast so my Mom didn't use water to cook. We came home and I sadly had to do homework because I was busy all weekend. Sadly when I finished I wanted to take a shower but there was no water so I guess I saved even more. Finally I eat dinner with the fam and went to sleep without using that much water yesterday.
