Pretend that you have a scale in front of you. Now on one side of the scale place all of the environmentally conscious actions you have committed today (walking, biking, planting a tree, buying used clothing etc). Now on the other side of the scale put all the environmentally harmful actions you have committed (eating something with immense plastic packaging, or even using electricity). Now, most of you will realize that this side of the scale is much heavier.

Now, every choice you make during your day may not seem to impact the world, but collectively as a human race, we are tearing the world apart. To make ourselves feel better, we put labels on everything. We recycle, but recycling any object still takes a tremendous amount of energy. We buy organic cotton, but did you know that it still requires 2700 L of water to grow the cotton for one T-shirt?

We, as a human race, are logging trees faster than we can plant them, blowing up mountainsides looking for coal, and covering the world under a layer of concrete. The book "Ecological Intelligence" describes this harm as an wave of human activity. The way which we live today is not sustainable. We will soon reach a time when the world can not accommodate our wasteful practices. Yet, even those of us who are the most ecologically friendly cannot tip the scales to our favor. What do you think? What will happen to the human race? Can we do anything about it?
