Oh lord. I didn't think anyone like you existed any more.

And I thought hippies died out with the 60s. Permanent economic growth is the only sensible economic plan.


Money won't mean jack shit when the whole planet is wiped out by a second ice age or flooding because the ice caps melt.

Maybe, but permanent economic growth does not mean we should over-consume.

Over-consumption will completely hault all economic growth, eventually. How many apples are left if you eat all the apples?

And conservation won't matter when those things happen anyway because we didn't develop technology fast enough to defend against these things properly.

Relying on the kindness of nature is a losing proposition.

Look anyone who uses the term "fail" non-ironically is a stupid fucking internet -culture dipshit anyway so stop arguing about it.

Everyone read this and incorporate it into their daily lives.

Developing useful technology doesn't have to come with the crippling pain of over-consumption, pollution and capitalist boom and bust economies.

That first image that was posted is computer generated.

The second one could be from a garbage dump on land.

But, making the rather dodgy assumption that the story is true, at some point there will probably be a vibrant floating ecosystem on those islands, maybe even trees and suchlike, that would be awesome.

And if we can find a plant that grows on plastic bottles and styrofoam, I will be amazed.  Keep in mind this is only stuff that floats.  Its not compost.
