I'm against overconsumption in general, which might be my point, along with the point that individuals are important. But I don't have an answer... I just think it boils down to this:

We have finite resources on this planet, and every negative thing we talk about will continue until we ALL (china, US, everyone) realize we will run out of food, water and air if we keep going in the same direction. People don't seem to think it's possible. But if we had all the resources we wanted, we wouldn't be defending oil fields in Iraq, and poor motherfuckers living in the desert wouldn't be planning to blow each other up. Poverty comes from lack of resources. Lack of resources comes from using them all up! This is probably why I said in my first post to GROW instead of buy. Do it yourself. Live your life in a sustainable way WITHOUT relying on walmart/home depot/Ace. That's hard to do, but it is not getting any easier when you have to share with 6 billion+ people. Maybe we just don't know how to share.

Sorry for the rant... I just don't understand all this. Also, I'm OUT OF WEED which explains a lot. PEACE.
