Step 1 – Human population.
Reduce human population and maintain it at a sustainable level.
We are currently 7 Billion and heading for 10 Billion. That is at least 2 Billion too many already. We need to take urgent steps to reduce our population to a manageable, sustainable 5 Billion.
This can be achieved by:
a. Creating greater global equality with health care, education, sickness benefit and pensions reducing the need for bigger families
b. Using education and contraception to control family size
c. Use the education and the media to get the message across in whatever form is best coupled with incentives to reduce family size
d. Have wide-spread family planning and abortion centres.
e. Counter religious irresponsibility. The last thing we need is to go forth and multiply!
2. – Prevent Deforestation
The massive irresponsible destruction of our tropical rain-forests is robbing our wild-life of habitat, reducing biodiversity, creating mass extinction, altering the climate, creating soil erosion, altering our atmosphere and is a calamity. It has to be halted.
We have to persuade politicians that a short-term profit will lead to a disastrous long-term loss for them and everybody else.
Stop it now!
3. – Prevent further pollution
Pollutants know no boundaries. They are not contained by national borders. We need globally enforced standards on effluents, air pollution and radiation. They need to be backed up with draconian penalties and stringently enforced.
4. – Conserve our Dwindling Fauna
It is not just the large iconic mammals and birds that need protecting. We have to conserve our insects, fish and crustacean. Without food chains everything dies. The 56% reduction in arthropods is catastrophic.
a. Give 50% of the planet to wild-life.
b. Stop the slaughter through pesticides
c. Stop the trafficking of endangered animals, ivory, Chinese medicines, bush-meat, hunting, poaching and transgression into habitats.
d. Conserve our dwindling populations before they are gone forever!
5. – Carbon Output – Global Warming
Reduce our carbon output. This can be done without restricting travel or altering life-style. Simply change to renewable green energy and produce much more efficient technology.
There is nothing difficult about saving the world. It merely requires a bit more intelligence and a lot less greed!
Reblogged this on Opher's World and commented:
It isn’t rocket science. It just requires reining in the greedy, selfish fools who are heading on a nightmare course to nowhere. Unfettered capitalism is a menace.
You know it’s really not that hard to try to treat the environment better it’s just people don’t really care.
Spot on pooj. We have to make them care.
Yes we do!!
Blogging is just the start. I’m sure that soon everyone will buy my book – Anthropocene Apocalypse, wake up, and put everything right.
