Every drop in the ocean counts

The future will either be green... or not at all. 
     The natural craving for bigger and better things are driven into every one of us, because bigger is better... right? Is it?  We are all contributing to the concept knows as the growth machine, our population and production growing with no concern for the environment. And most people when starting a company don't want to hurt the earth but it becomes a problem and unaccounted externality. The benefits and/or problems that can arise that have not been associated with the product.  if you will. You know, I have always laughed because the one thing that gives us life and keeps the millions and trillions of oxygen particles all at a balance so we can wake up and breath and go to work at the factory day after day, is being taken advantage of. Earth. Our planet... The one place in the infinite amount of space that has just the right balance of everything in order to sustain life, and yet we view it as a thing and money and something you can claim and we rip it apart, tear it down, and kill it.
Do you remember this guy? 
Do you really understand how perfectly in balance our environment t is..? Let's just take a run through on what would happen if we lost oxygen for five seconds, please remember it's five seconds. Anyone under the rays of the sun would get sunburns (molecular oxygen protects our skin against UV rays), the sky would go black as night (fewer oxygen particles in the sky means fewer things for light to bounce off of). Second, the earths crust would crumble (oxygen makes up 45% of earths crust), EVERYONE'S INNER EAR WOULD EXPLODE (because we would loose 21% of air pressure), every building made out of concrete would turn to dust (oxygen is an important binder in concrete). Now if you have to read through this again and just think about all of this happening in a matter of five seconds. This is crazy, if we keep up what we are doing to the environment and cutting down every tree we see, polluting, etc. We are going to die. I refuse to say we are going to be in big trouble because we are already there. We have to go green, we need more oxygen in the air, more animals, more trees, less money, people need to help other people, etc. We know what to do as a human race we just don't because it would affect our lives. Yes... yes it will. Every day hundreds of thousands of animals are being mass produced and slaughtered but we don't want to recycle or eat healthy and organic. The human race is lazy, this is the laziest we have ever been. We can not call ourselves hard workers and productive citizens until we do our part for the environment. It needs our help. 

Did you know, if we cleaned up the earth, reduced waste and toxins released and replanted trees so the oxygen in the atmosphere was doubled we would; feel more energetic every single day, get better gas mileage, the human race would actually be happier, be more alert and have a higher physical performance. Every day that we pollute and contribute to pollution we are hurting not only the planet but the atmosphere around us. We need to give back to the one thing that keeps us alive every day, earth.
