Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment

Originally posted by sushil_yadav The article doesn't say anywhere that the solution is returning back to pre-industrial society A pure non-industrial society is not possible now because Industrialization has increased world population to 7 billion. If we want to save the remaining environment we must minimize the things that are destroying environment. At present we are destroying environment for Food, Clothing, Shelter plus Thousands of Industrial consumer goods and services. We must eliminate the things that were added last to the list......which means thousands of consumer goods and services, most of which have existed for only about 100 years out of Hundreds of Thousands of years of Total Human Existence on earth .........these have to be eliminated or minimized. The only way to save the remaining environment is by stopping Industrial Activity for production of consumer goods and services immediately........Industrial Activity must be primarily limited to food, clothing and shelter.......and even in these three fields production and consumption must be kept to the minimum.

It's humanity's destiny to use the world's resources to improve the quality of life. Where's the fun in living a miserable agrarian existence? Nature can take care of herself, and if things do go wrong in the distant future we could always colonise another planet

Right. So you have no practical ideas to propose, only inflammatory statements to deliver. This is very close to trolling.
And what good it is to insist on some absolutely idealistic position, with no ideas how to change whatever it is now? So, going from forum to forum, posting the same prozelityc stuff, and having no practical ideas how to achieve any improvement is not a solution to anything.
I have a maxim - If you have reasonable ideas to give, give them, if you don't, don't say anything.

Moving to another planet would probably rank as the most impossible of all impossible things.

Our present planet had huge amounts of things that created and sustained all life..........Millions of species of Animals, Billions of acres of Forests, Rivers and Oceans full of water, Sky full of Air and Billions of acres of fertile soil......And remember all these life sustaining things did not come into existence in a few years......It took Nature millions of years of painstaking effort to create them.

After destroying most of the living things and most of the life sustaining things on earth which took millions of years to come into existence, it is ridiculous to talk about creating human colonies on planets where there are no animals, trees, air, water and fertile soil........And where Temperatures are very different from earth.

One Space Shuttle exploded during take off.....another exploded on the return journey......so far Man has not gone beyond the Moon, and even on this short journey of a few days man took all his supplies - food, water and oxygen from earth......there are no planets with life sustaining things within the solar system......outside the solar system planets are light years away, millions of light years away.

It's still early days. Karl Benz didn't build a turbocharged sports car and the Wright Brothers didn't build a supersonic jet. Likewise, it will take decades before we have a craft capable of reaching Mars, and a century or more before we build lunar cities. However, we might live long enough to see the first underwater city as there's a wealth of unused resources beneath the sea
