Environmental Protection is a Human Duty

Actually once it is looked at one must accept, that very much, if indeed even enough is being done for the rescue of threatened animal species, for the assistance to weak and distressed human beings, for the protection and preservation of endangered habitats and for the rescue of our environment, etc., when the innumerable associations, organizations, societies, groups, many of which call for donations or funds etc., which altogether they will be given. There are groups, which themselves take a stand for that, which rare becoming (endangered) plant species are protected; such as, those that fight for the threatened butterflies and beetles that their natural habitat remain preserved; societies, that themselves for better children's playgrounds in urban areas make great; there are large organizations, that vehemently fight on the other hand, that the environment is obstructed and disfigured and that still more atomic power plants are created; there are development-assistance organizations, which through calls for donations thereon remind, that they would help the hungry of the world, etc. The list of such groups would let itself endlessly carry on, because there are so very many, that they really can no longer all be counted. All these associations and organizations want somehow to fight for the good, but the success is and remains small and very modest, which proves the fact, that our planet nevertheless perishes. There are namely too many cords, by those that will draw up and break; thus an agreement can never come about, because namely each group fights for its own case on its own and therefore firstly among the individual organizations comes about more strife and competitiveness, as if really and truthfully something can be achieved, which is useful for the entire Earth, and secondly thereby too much valuable time elapses, until also only a minute progress can be achieved in each respective case. Such a minimal success remains then but also, only a temporary success, because these sooner or later become, precisely like all others partial successes, again will be made destroyed.

Sure there is the need of the hour, that threatened life of all kinds will be protected or projects, which endanger the environment, will be prevented and prohibited. Enterprises, that want to equally protect the life of any kind, only then will have success, when they work hand in hand with all other organizations and societies, that strive toward the same fulfillment. Each organization fights only for themselves alone, find unscrupulous criminals, as they under the mighty ones of this world are to find, always a loophole, in order to themselves creep around the existing environmental laws. Earth's exploitation and destruction, unknown hazardous waste depots, kept secret disposals of highly-poisonous substances, concealed reactor accidents, kept secret researching of war material of all only imaginable form etc., is the result of might-greedy, dangerous to public safety and deceitful business doers, un-honest capital sharks, criminals, government officials and other high animals. Through their might and their money they can bribe, deceive, hush up and then achieve their absolutely reprehensible and murderous fulfillments. It asks itself thereby, what such might-holding, profit-seekers, criminals and irresponsible ones of every kind thinks (if they actually think).

Do they actually believe, they would be protected from the destruction, that will inevitably be unleashed over the planet, furthermore if all life on the Earth is devastated and destroyed by unscrupulous criminals? Do they perhaps believe, however only to them nothing would occur, because they are the ones, who through their positions practice the might, swim in the money and still today have the say? Or can it really be true, that they in their megalomania are so blind, that they actually are not able to see the extents of the destruction?

Of the people, of each individual Earth citizen it is conditional on, whether or not such felonies a bar is pushed. Murderers of the humankind and of all life belong taken out from their offices and from their business positions and are to be replaced by rational human beings, to those it for this reason go to protect and preserve all life; human beings, who themselves are unimpressible by attempted bribes, money smearing and wrong exercising of might.

Nevertheless will however all well-intentioned attempts then still always fail, when the cause of all the Earth and all life endangering threats is not finally realized and resolved. Why for example must always more atomic power plants be created, always more roads and houses be built, which eat away the habitats of the human beings, the animals and plants? Why today are actually so many forms threatened by extinction, and why is the entire planet sick and close to the death? The cause of all life-threatening and destructive problems is called overpopulation, and as long as this fact is not realized, no environmental- and nature-protector, no atomic opponent and no philanthropist indeed have a real opportunity. One can still therefore long to fight for an actual good cause and put oneself in place for it; perhaps he/she achieves also small apparent success, but sooner or later will take on the originating evil overpopulation also its realm and will roll over and eliminate this. Those that, want to protect the butterflies, are by the all overflowing and down-trampling mass of human being suppressed exactly the same as those, who for it engage in, which one only still should and must biologically-dynamically cultivate. Where does he/she still want then biological gardening on this Earth, when the forests, that should regulate the climate, are cleared; when the waters are poisoned, oil-fouled and deadened and the rain falls down sourly on the Earth; when the sunlight sends down dangerous radiations onto the Earth, which will be taken in by all life, by human beings, animals and plants, therefore also by vegetables and other food, because the ozone layer is destroyed?

All of this is not now to say that in any case each attempt, to save the threatened habitat, is doomed to failure, and that therefore nothing at all more should be done in this direction. But precisely this wrong opinion advocates frightening many human beings, and that is a further reason for it, that the destruction of our habitat can continue to progress. Human beings, who think, that in any case everything gets broken, often lead a life in irresponsibly low intelligence, because they advocate the attitude: 'if indeed anyway everything dies, then I will get for myself, what I still can get.' Thereby they think only of themselves and of their own well-being. What happens with all other human beings, with plants, animals and with the environment, which to them is completely of no concern, the main thing remains for them only that they have much more, than they really need to the life. But this sort human being indeed will be the first, who shouts for help, when the devastation of the environment will be worldwide and the entire humankind suffers hardship. Today such human beings still live however in undescribable abundance, buying indiscriminately every scrap offered and thereby furthering the irresponsible overproduction of unnecessary articles of luxury. It is blatant, what nowadays everything that comes on the market, on which the human beings of the rich countries could renounce without detriment to the quality of life. For every kind of sport there is the right clothes, because one can but for example, from a fashion-conscious snow-freak not demand, that he/she, in one and the same ski dress, snowboards and also even skis! Another example: A children's film becomes popular, and immediately it will be campaigned for in magazines, on the radio and on the television every few minutes. Already before the film even starts, there is everywhere accessories on the subject to buy. Toy cars, Barbie dolls, plastic accessories, stuffed animals, school booklets, cases, shoes, T-shirts, sweaters and coats etc., and so forth. Productions of this kind consume amounts in the thousand-millions, which however only pollute the air, pollute the waste water and which brings more monstrously growing mountains of waste.

After a few weeks namely the ghost is past, which the once so desired toy becomes boring and useless, and then it lands on the dumping ground. Abundance furthers the indifference, since whoever possesses too much, no more knows the value of the beauty and true things of the life. Whoever lives in the abundance, also does not see the penetrating necessity, that the protection of the habitat has the highest priority.

No single human being would come up with the absurd idea, to overfill his/her own apartment to such an extent, with furniture, machines, with waste and rubbish of any form, that he/she would him/herself have therein hardly any more space and air. Precisely that is it however, which we all allow on our home-planet. The Earth is overcrowded with human beings, who themselves do not therefore care, what occurs with their 'apartment', although it for them all will be given no other homeland, when the Earth is destroyed, contaminated, poisoned and therefore eliminated. The Earth is critically ill, this fact nowadays a human being hardly denies anymore. But nevertheless the true Will with most human beings appears to have been paralyzed from immediately acting.

It is, as if nobody could really grasp, that it also personally concerns him/her, and that the destruction of the environment does not take place on another part of the Earth's globe, but rather direct before his/her entry door. One accustoms him/herself then quickly to changes in the environment, which a few months later one can hardly remember any more, how the environment looked, before it was obstructed, by industries, roads, houses and shopping centers etc. One accustoms him/herself so rapidly to degradations of the quality of the life, because aggressive advertisement and wrong information makes one believe, that it goes to a still actually better and better with all the achievements of the modern time. Above all children are the victims, because they are already exposed to the pollution of the environment in very recent years. Respiratory disease, allergies, eczemas and even physical handicaps increase from year to year. To such an extent weakened little by little these young human beings their life must eke out an existence, and it will be questionable, whether they may ever experience a high age in health and satisfaction. Already rather the case will take part in, that the Earth is populated more and more with human beings, who for their life simply only eke out an existence and fight for survival, or however thus are weakly and sick, which it will be the same for them all, whether they live or are dead. Then some human being knows by him/herself, how severe and arduous that life is, when one is befallen by any suffering. Great, continuous pains one can practice nearly to insanity, and one wants oneself nothing more ardently, than finally being able to fall asleep in peace. Also the planet Earth is critically ill, and the only difference from the weakened human beings exists therein, that the death of the Earth means the death of all life here.

A senseful rescue of all threatened life can only then succeed, when him/herself each individual Earth citizen before eyes adheres to, that also he/she a great part in addition can and must contribute just like all others human beings who are responsible for it, that the Earth and consequently all life can breathe again. It is from most urgently necessity, the fact that each "small man" begins to live more consciously and protect and cultivate all life. With certainty the good Will is for the improvement of the life's circumstances also exists with most human beings; if therefore not everyone for him/herself try to achieve, but rather him/herself unites with those, who mutually draw to the same knitting, thus a change for the better is really possible and feasible.

However it is precisely not for this reason done that the individual Earth citizen him/herself labor to collect; good glass, cardboard, paper, pet deposits, bottle deposits, scrap metal, batteries etc., separate black and organic waste, oil, aluminum, sheet steel, poisonous substances, old dresses etc. faithfully to the planned collecting points created and also environmentally conscious purchases, meanwhile however large concerns, industries, drilling companies etc. their special refuse or other poisonous fall out by the ton unfiltered discharge into the air, therefore into the atmosphere, into the water or onto surface and consequently 'inconspicuously' dispose of.

Naturally will be according to the immediate voices who protest, that this claim cannot be correct at all, because the environmental laws were indeed very strictly handled worldwide. However do not also have Amnesty International and UNICEF in the examples of the strict laws for the protection of the human rights, and still these are evidentially circumvented and disregarded! It occurs exactly the same also with environmental laws, which likewise worldwide are trampled down under foot and when it is for them will be invalidly explained by criminals and more unhonest profit-seekers as well as simply by certain might-having ones. How could it otherwise occur that an individual criminal and delusional-thinking one can try out tons of atomic explosive devices under waters, although on the other hand half the world protests? It is indeed not to accept that the governments and the masters of this world do not know, what effects these irresponsible nuclear tests, which lead to toxic waste dumps everywhere on the Earth or the criminal exploitation of the planet.

It is already rather thus, that the responsible ones simply try to hold calm among, the masses, the mob, and to consciously deceive, by which he/she mitigates the horror messages' most potential. When in the mediums actually messages appear about chemical- or other-accidents or about lousy machinations of unscrupulous business sharks and government, then it is called nearly without exception… 'at no time existed danger to the population and the environment. The advice, to close all windows and doors or even to temporarily evacuate the population, was merely a precautionary security measure.' The published information about escaped poison values or about developed damages to the nature through conscious destruction is with considerable security wrong, because it can and must be taken on, that itself the innumerably 'small' contamination in the water, in the air or on surface unite into perhaps still completely unknown new poisons. The researchers and scientist measure however always only individual limit-values, thus e.g. the permissible ozone pollution, that of the not detrimental to nature amount of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, the standard appropriate quantity of exhaust gases from individual motor vehicles, the still rather innocuous amount of radiation contamination of the environment through nuclear reactor accidents and so on. However such measured values simply possess no more validity, because the first steps are never only about a single contamination or poisoning, but rather mixes itself with other, already existing poisonings. Secondly in calculations of the limit-values will not include, how very ill, therefore weakened, the environment already is, and therefore would be actually a multiple less than that of the today's applying values to still take responsibility for.

It is also of the rational human beings simply incomprehensible, why considerable scientists and researchers up to today have not yet wanted to realize the correlation of overpopulation, environmental degradation and natural disasters, and that kind of assumption does not even briefly appear anywhere in the media. Should however even an assertion in this direction appear, then it is immediately again disclaimed or dismissed simply as ridiculousness. A message, after a nuclear bomb test the earth impact strengths have been measured at 5.5 on the Richter-scale, cause no journalists or other correspondents, who whereupon following the volcanic eruptions, torrents, earthquakes and gales, the droughts and the inundations also only approximately bring in connection with the monstrously, malicious violation of the Earth, which the megalomaniacal, greedy for might and stupid governments and scientists do for command over it. One does not have to be a scholar or a teacher, in order for them to him/herself call attention to the logical effects, to be kept secret by the would-like-to-be 'great' of the world. The Earth is weakened through the irresponsible exploitation and far from the advised balance, which is why she responds with always faster and more violent reactions to the exploitation and annihilation. When the human beings eat something, that he/she did not obtain, which is bad for him/her, and he/she vomits. The Earth herself reacts precisely the same. For decades the air is polluted, the waters, the surface as well as the interior of the earth is poisoned and maliciously and irresponsibly destroyed. Whoever is amazed, that by human beings of maliciously injected poison amounts through any kind and wise again will have to discharge! Gales, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, inundations, drought and others catastrophes, as they befall over the Earth today, is the horrible effects of the deliberate exploitation and destruction of the Earth.

The individual Earth citizen makes him/herself co-guilty for the destruction of the environment, because he/she allows, that unscrupulous might-having ones are not immediately deprived of power and he/she will be seen with it, as this destroys the Earth. Governing ones, more unhonest business sharks and greedy-for-might criminals by themselves will never stop that, from a lowly craving up to elimination of the Earth. Then they become long moreover practiced at their business with the death of all life, until it is too late for a rescue. Whether the destruction of the Earth first takes place at the north pole or at the other end of the world, that actually plays no role, because annihilation spreads itself out with deadly certainty over the entire planet, and it will stop for nobody and nothing. Not for the fair and not for the unfair, not for the guilty ones or innocent ones, not for children, women and men of every age and rank in society.

The mighty ones, the governments and the other high masters as well as the more un-honest profit-seekers and criminals that are not thereon interested, in protecting the environment and all life, their actions clearly and precisely show. It is not realized which products and research results, that would be useful to the environment and the human beings and also would be environmentally-fair and without detrimental effects are able to be produced and again disposed of. Those products exist, which therefore can be produced, is a fact, that already is occasionally achieved by the public. For example good proposals are existing for the production of cars, that require neither electricity generated by nuclear power nor gasoline, which therefore would not burden the environment. But such plans are either bought up and are brought to the disappearance, or the products are simply so very expensively sold off, that a normal citizen him/herself simply cannot accomplish these. Also for supplying of power or species-appropriate animal breeding for procurement of fuel/nourishment etc., with certainty alternatives exist. They are only therefore not realized, because they bring in too little money. Therefore the ordinary consumer is to a great part thereon directed, to buy cheaper products, which however burden the environment. On the other hand the spreading masses are able to let themselves also gladly be deceived by advertisements for the most diverse products, thus which these he/she indiscriminately buys, because they suddenly have the feeling, they can no longer be happy without this or that product. Above all children are the most thankful sacrifices of such lousy machinations. Also it would here therefore be of most urgent necessity, that the Earth-people rationally prove and bring down unscrupulous criminals from their high horse, in order to place the right human beings to such positions of power.

Environmental protection means thus first and foremost, that the human being decreases his/her own gigantic number through suitable, rational and achievable measures to the quantity bearable by the planet. Not until when the reduction of the earth population is also spoken of in the fight will the environmental protection projects and measures have true sense and success. So long as however still more human beings require living-space, goods and nourishment, then the contamination and destruction of all elements of life, the pollution of environment and the murderous exploiting of nature will take no end.

Human beings were and are those, who bear the blame for the state of environment and therefore of the Earth, and human beings must therefore be those, with rationality and intellect be let go, to save environment and again let it recover. Each unnecessary form of environmental impact and destruction must be prevented immediately and worldwide. There remains no time, to talk shop for many years, which one indeed could best do, in order to enjoin the death stop. The Earth cannot therefore wait long, because it dies now. There are possibilities, to stop this occurrence, however they require insight and collaboration from every individual human being.

The ways for recovery of the natural equilibrium must be worldwide and uniformly enforced and strictly controlled, as for example:

Stop in births-intervals

Replacement of unscrupulous and felonious might-holding ones with rational leaders, in which the benefit of the Earth and all life is of highest duty.

Ban of materials of war-production

Ban of further atomic-power-plant-constructions

Ban of the unnecessary environment burdening luxury-items

etc., and so forth

This all may mean, that temporarily some things must be renounced, but the renunciation specifically is small compared to that, which everything by all life can be gained in terms of quality of life and in terms of health.
