Helen CzerskiOne of the biggest habits that humanity has to kick is that of seeing a human-free space and assuming it’s worthless/empty unless we fill it up with something. It’s happening with plans for the ocean, deforestation for “development”, talk of delivery drones filling the future sky, cube sats that will hide the stars. This “space” is the planetary engine, and it’s incredibly valuable NOW. doing all sorts of things that keep us alive & enrich our lives. We should protect it. #ocean #climate #Earth
gato@helenczerski I agree with the sentiment but for one point I think its important tomake. This is not a habit humanity as a whole has to break. There are many societies and peoples throughtout history and nowadays that dont make a habit out of destroying the environment they live in. In fact, when europeans arrived in the americas, they thought "look at all those forests untouched by humanity". While in fact, those forests existed the way they did because of the activities and care of the indigenous population that lived there.
The problems caused by the destruction of the environment in name of this eternal capitalist development, is problem that the whole humanity faces. But not all peoples and societies a guilty of destroying the environment like that. And that is something we cannot forget, for those same people are the often the ones fighting literally with their llives on the line to protect their homes and territories from this kind of destruction.
