Years ago, our ancestors treated Mother Nature as a hostile force; an enemy. So back when the Green Movement started, they weren’t taken seriously at all. The government were laughing. However, the Greens today are a very powerful organisation of over 4million members. They are a very persuasive group.
The Greens believe that the more industrialised an area is, the more material possessions you own, and the more material possessions you have the more miserable you are. They believe that people should live like those in the developing world, as they have next to no possessions but are happier; in small communities they have like an extended family and live a toxic-free life without chemicals, industrialisation and pollution.
However, this is totally untrue, as people in the developing world are living in the worst circumstances and envy our way of life.
Industrialisation is scientifically proven to decrease pollution and increase quality of life.
Industrialisation -> You’ll live longer, you’ll be healthier and you’ll be better educated than before.
In opposition to the Green’s theories, around 40% of the world’s population live in conditions of a developing world, in which they use the only sustainable fuel they can find, which consists of mainly cow excrement and wood. They use the fuel for everything, but it makes highly dangerous indoor smoke, which does more health damage than all kinds of industrial pollution put together.
Developing countries, where industrialisation is low or nil, have poorer standards of life than we do in our highly industrialised countries.
Not only this, but the developing world hasn’t nearly enough water – the people walk great distances to get to water sources, that are rarely even clean. Their water is contaminated.
There is a high death rate in developing countries due to indoor smoke and contaminated water.
The only way for the developing countries to drink clean water is by cleaning the water using modern...
