Response to Derrick Jensen Excerpt - KH

"Or let’s talk waste. In 2005, per-capita municipal waste production (basically everything that’s put out at the curb) in the U.S. was about 1,660 pounds. Let’s say you’re a die-hard simple-living activist, and you reduce this to zero. You recycle everything. You bring cloth bags shopping. You fix your toaster. Your toes poke out of old tennis shoes. You’re not done yet, though. Since municipal waste includes not just residential waste, but also waste from government offices and businesses, you march to those offices, waste reduction pamphlets in hand, and convince them to cut down on their waste enough to eliminate your share of it. Uh, I’ve got some bad news. Municipal waste accounts for only 3 percent of total waste production in the United States." - Derrick Jensen

Derrick Jensen is a man that made a great decision to start helping the earth. This could give the world an idea to save the earth. People seem to not care about the earth. They just go on with their lives like nothing is going on. But thing's are going on. We are at war with each other. WMDs are around the world, just waiting to be used. We have made death machines. And sooner or later some alien race is going to think: Why are they killing there own? with that many weapons they can kill three planets in one sweep!
Derrick Jensen might be the push, the example that we need to heal the earth. The earth was made to be green, tan, and white. That is our real earth color. But if we keep on going, the earth will be so sick, it wont look like the earth as we know it today. We can save the earth, the earth is sick, and we need to help it.

Sincerely,
K.R.H
