That the government should be off the people, by the people and for the people, I say good luck with that. The government only work for themselves to earn more money with no regards towards the people in that country. They are greedy and will try almost everything to make a bigger profit, even if it means to desolate the nature in other countries. This is really wrong. The nature can’t repair itself, at least not in this pace that we drain its resources. We have to make an end to this soon. All the pollution we release into the nature only harms us in the long run. I mean the distance each good travels as the different pieces are assembled is way too far to be acceptable. Don’t we have factories in each country that is capable of creating the different pieces or is the cost to high?
We have gone from having no material need to be obsessed with it. I don’t know why it has become like this. We know it’s wrong, but do we have the guts to stop this behaviour? I’m not sure but we have to try. Do we even need everything we buy? I would say without a doubt no, we don’t. Most of the things we buy will be disposed without being used and the golden arrow has become a power unknown to man. The only problem is that this is the sole purpose of all sales, namely to sell everything as fast as you can. Unfortunately if we stop buying the companies will lose money and eventually fire people. This leads to a loss in profit and the circle moves on with more people getting fired. We need to find a solution to this problem; otherwise we won’t have any work to go to or planet to live on.
Our main goal should aim towards reducing our materialistic need and the amount of pollution we release into the nature. We need to find ways to minimize the need of buying new things all the time. If we keep this pace it won’t take long until the resources are fully drained and bigger problems will occur. Why don’t we start today, it’s not that hard to buy things you don’t need or am I wrong?

This is a big problem, and a totally share your thoughts,
SvaraRaderaregarding all silly stuff that the consumers buy we really need to change our behavior. People in the past 100 years have survived without all of this material stuff, so why can´t we.
I do not agree with you. This is a far too simplified view of something that is very complicated. I do not think that governments do whatever they can to make money, just for the sake of it. They do need money however, to support schools, healthcare etc. Some may have forgotten this on the way, but the government is not just one greedy man trying to take over the world, the government consist of many people with different agendas and morals. Cause this is a question of moral, isn't it? How far can one government go to make life better for its citizens? And the opinions differs on this one.
SvaraRaderaWe could probably all agree that our society has become more and more materialistic. But as you state " Unfortunately if we stop buying the companies will lose money and eventually fire people." And we do need a solution, and preferably fast.
I think your final words sums it up in a good way. "Why don't we start today?"
A agree with your thoughts on the government, they work only for themselves and are not dealing with the real problems. I think they are to scared to face what is really going on, because if they do and fail with trying to solve these problems, it would be an emberaessment.
SvaraRaderaBut we can't realy on the government to fix these problems, can we? After all, we are all involved in the making of destroying our planet by using up its resources and contaminateing the air we breath.
I like the way you write, it's easy to follow and understand but not simplefied.
