An Interesting Coincidence About 2011 Earth Hour

I also made some interesting observations about this year's Earth Hour. Here's also a very brief (although FAR from complete) sample of my option on environmentalism and the future of humanity related to the resources we have on this planet. I am sorry I am very pessimistic about environmentalism for this video...

well i dont know how much of a big deal having the lights on or off is, I think the plant is still going to kick out the same amount of juice, whether you use it and pay for it or not. And if what we do is harming the earth, isnt it technically natures fault for evolving and developing us in a way where we come to perform the harmful activities?

[supersmash43]

@PageofLegend technically that's correct. It is nature's fault since we became that smart in the first place :)

I don't mind Earth Hour. I mean, conserving energy is a fine idea. What I mind is how it's held up as some great excercise in unity that has the potential to save the freakin' world.

@LiberAnarchy I like your optimism :)

You're actually completely wrong, we're not overpopulated. But the threat of over-population is a real one for the immediate future. We are also all convening on cities, which are usually densely packed with buildings in a small surface area. - this doesn't help with combating the belief that the world is 'overpopulated'.

@EllyMcCormack yeah you are right although it is debatable what population level/resource usage would be considered over-populated. When I was referring to over-populated I was simply referring to the fact that the various agricultural revolutions and the spread of agriculture allowed our population to become much larger than that of of other species of similar-size.

@yuo252 Queensland is not small, it's the second largest territory on the continent. Australia is not small. Australia is a continent and the sixth largest country on earth. I suggest you do a little more studying before leaving anymore ignorant comments in the future. Because I'm getting tired of it. The internet, your local library - there is all this opportunity for anyone to actually learn something - and a cunt like you pisses opportunity away. You disgust me. Goodbye.

@EllyMcCormack Queensland is small Australia is small Give every single person young and old an acre of land the earth will be full.

[EllyMcCormack]

@yuo252 We could give each person on earth one acre of their own land in Australia and Queensland would still be empty along with the rest of the world. Read my comment again please.

@EllyMcCormack The earth has almost one hundred billion people. Thats over population
