okay well first off, i'd say that i do agree with you but i think we might need to put it in a way that the kids will understand it yknow.. because i was talking with my sisters boyfriend and he said that the way to take a nation down is through their kids. if there is no more kids then how can the nation grow right? well i believe it will work the same way in reverse. if we make this shit clear to the children of america, china, russia, india, austraila-anywhere then something will end up getting done. yknow kids have the ability to learn yknow its like teaching a puppy. you can teach a puppy tricks but you cant really teach an older dog tricks. so get into the heads of the children and show them what there parents and what they are doing yknow. this is a pretty easy thing to get fixed its just getting the people to care is whats hard. but after the kids have seen it they KNOW its happening and know what to do. you grow up in the state of mind that "this" is right or "this" is wrong so they end up saying well this is wrong and this is whats happening because of it yknow? i mean i've never done anything special or been a big participant of the economy or the government or anything i like to stay to myself and to what i KNOW because to step off my porch would be terrifying for me, which brings me to another point that my dad has said before, the porch is one persons sanctuary where they feel safe and where everything they KNOW is, stepping off the porch into the yard would be like adding things to their porch that they dont KNOW and they dont like it so they ignore it like you've said before. but if you make it to the porch where the kids are for most of their lives and, yes for right now i am on the porch too, dont plan on being here much longer cuz its a pretty boring place, but anyways back to the point beyond the yard is the street and then down the street and so on, and so forth. but if you put childrens books out and childrens TV shows or little animated cartoons that the kids would see on the TV or magizine or soemthing that the kids would be interested in it might make a difference and it doesnt have to be for the little kids it could be something for me yknow you can teach a kid something and if it made an impact or if its something they like or soemthing then they'll remember it and they'll keep it in their mind maybe at the back but you know what its still there and the more they think about the world coming to the end the more they get scared because they are little and dont know and might push them into the direction of cleaning this earth up. and what i meant by scareing isnt "ahhhhh monster!!" but taking them off the porch into the yard or into the street and they have to see they effects and damage they are doing as a youngster and they may blow it off like any other person but theres ALWAYS gunna be some who dont wanna keep seeing it go to waste and dont wanna keep blowing it off and you know what else??? they'll keep their knowledge on whats happening to the earth til the day they die and the more they have to think about it being this way the more people who will be in to cleaning up the earth and who knows it might become a trend and everyone will start doing it because another things ive noticed is that (and this is something that everyone know but dont really look at) everything starts off small and people dont know much about it, but if its kept around then more people start getting into it because not alot of people do it and believe it or not different is cool and people love to be cool, and as people start getting into it it grows and becomes something more greater and if its a trend then yknow it'll get taken care of somewhat....yknow you might think im just a kid and that this thought was scrambled, this wasnt thought abot for days, it came from the top of my head as the words were being typed, it could use going back over and thought about for it to make more sense or soemthing. i dont see myself as someone huge or better then anyone else im just a kid with ideas.
