Green World: The ideal world

I have been in the UK for two months, and i am surprised at some papers devoting stories about the environment. Environemntal issues are really a concern for people in the polity of the west. Elections are now being fought keeping one eye on environmental issues. The one concern now is: Are we really concerned about the environment or this is another gimmick for power?

Looking at environemntal threats in the world, the average citizen must be worried. It is about time that we make the environment safe to live in. Already, Wars and humans are threatening our existence. We do not need the environment to corer our existence and ensure our extinction. It is a different thing that we deserve it, for the harm we have caused to nature.

The talk is about Industrialization with an eye on the environment. I feel that this is just an eyewash to justify rampant industrialization. Either you have an environment friendly setup or an industrial setup. The different dynamics at which they operate makes it impossible to implement a combination of both. In the long run, industry will neglect environment, in order to increase productivity and capital

The environment is now irreversibly damaged, and one now has to wait for the inevitable time of climate change, say environmental activists and some experts. The only thing that citizens can now do is to limit the damage that climate change might cause. This gives them a chance to reduce the harm done by them in the mas frenzy of industrialized consumption. But, somewhere down the line, the alarm bells are ringing, and the bells will get louder as the decades go by.
