Saying Goodbye

Last Chance Tourism Update

We have a problem: overuse of Earth resources that have culminated in climate change during these particular years within which we currently find ourselves.

Is it true that what we do now can undo 10,000 years of Earth resource extraction and use it as though that 10,000 years have had no effects, and the only effects we see have happened since the Industrial Age? Do those glaciers and fragile environments represent Big Goodbyes?

Is it true that Earth and its resources (e.g., land, sea, water, air, female uteruses and vaginas, and male physical strength) all became ‘used as we wish’ for a very long time? Indeed. Has all this human behavior helped us accumulate the climate changes we are experiencing now?

We are accustomed to resource use and extraction as humans here on Earth, but can we interrelate with Earth in any other way? Do we need to learn how to express our interrelation with Earth?

Further, can many of us also be aware that many others of us do not believe the way we have treated Earth and each other has any bad effects, that the climate and our relationships to it and Earth are just fine for us, even as our Earth environment is changing all around us. It is just a phase. Just a place on a long long-term waveform! We just have to keep going with what we are doing. We just have to otherwise wait, and changes will abate and return to ‘normal’.

Is this true for societies as well? Some say, ‘yes’. Some say, ‘no’.

That is all folks?

Time will tell, as it always has, for us; us being the time-bound species that we are

who do need a certain narrow range of heat, water, and the natural resources we are using according to the infinite growth curve of success— to survive, so we say! But,

even with eight billion souls to burden and take from Earth, we pump production of kids HARD, as though there were only 10,000 of us left. Are we worried about something unnecessary and inefficient?

We do believe we can manufacture any resources needed to ensure our survival, or we at least will have to.

We will try. We are that resilient and creative.

Singapore is recycling sewage water into beer for their population. Soylent green is a nasty thought but it feeds people. Examples.

For humans, maybe food, water, and a concrete place to live is all we really want or need. Is that so?

We will find out.
