Deforestation

It saddens me that we as a race are single-handedly destroying the planet. What doesn't sadden me is the fact that actually we are destroying ourselves. The planet we walk upon and the air we breathe will in fact never die, thank heavens. Only those that deserve it will - HA!

No, really they will. Who deserves it more than a cows backside?! HUMANS!!

YOu see I am a tad irritated. I went for a walk in the Thetford foresty area with my mum, and my little Lola earlier today, and as we were walking my mum pointed out that some trees had been cut down... This sent me on a little bit of a rant about deforestation, and how disgusted I am with humanity.

Stop messing with nature please. And yes, I am very aware that in some ways I am in fact a hypocrite, but then so are you. We're all human after-all, and that is a major major vice.

So, here we are, poisoning the air with all this CO2 because we've got too lazy to get off our backsides and do anything that involves the slightest amount of effort. You walk into a factory, years ago people would be doing stuff, now they oversee a machine do it. People don't walk, not even to the shop around the corner, they take their car, people don't recycle, because it's far easier to throw everything away like a piece of rubbish.

I know in this area they are trying to turn some parts of the forest into breckland again, to encourage certain animals and habitats to come back, which in a sense makes me laugh....Thetford forest is man-made. It was created by man, and is now being destroyed by man. It makes no sense.

Anyway, where was I? Yes, man, lazy, grrr. But the thing is, we use all this grand technology (I am still waiting for the lot to go wrong) all of which generates all this carbon dioxide stuff. In rainforest's and such the like, trees and plants have benefited from this. They have all grown quicker and bigger and better since the rise of this gas in the air, we breathe oxygen, they breathe carbon dioxide. I am sure that if it was the other way around we'd grow quicker and stronger, but something tells me, you wouldn't see trees coming along and chopping us at the legs.

It's like trees were put on the planet for this very reason. But we don't notice, we don't listen.

How many people really really appreciate the beauty of the rainforest. I've not yet seen it first-hand. Only on the telly and in pictures, and that doesn't even come close to showing it's beauty, it wonderfulness. And I think you have to be a certain type of person to go and see this place. For some people will just look and say, it's a bunch of trees and nature, it's not just a bunch of trees and nature. It's beautiful. I think of every tree in that place as a person, each one is a living thing. And being the fuck-heads that we are, we chop down millions of them. It's not only the trees that get destroyed though is it... there are some of the most fascinating animals living in such a place, and they all get killed too.

I don't know much, but I do know this, I do know that when we die out our hideous mark will still be left behind. Unfortunately, I cannot think of any way to save the beauty. I cannot think of a way to get rid of the awful things we as a race have done over the years.
