What would you do, if we ran out of
resources? Or, better question, what would you change if you found out that
without a doubt, there won’t be any resources for people within the next 100
years? Would you make changes in your day-to-day life? Or would you think that’s
just something future generations have to think about, and that you shouldn’t
be worried about that kind of stuff. I think that limited resources should be
something that everyone discusses and understands fully. I think currently it
is a rather dark area that very few people are actually willing to talk about…should
that really matter though? If only a few are actually discussing it does that
mean it’s not happening?
Those are
just a few of the questions that I have really been thinking about in my life
recently. Have doing the Know Impact assignment, I realize that I am not very
resource conscious in my day-to-day life… but should I care? Or should I just think
about it as if it’s something that I can only kind of do. These questions may
seem easy to answer, but actually implementing them is very difficult. If you
realized that in order to be a better person you had to cut the amount of
everything you consumed by 3/4th’s would it be possible? Would you
give it a shot or just lie and say that you’re doing your part when in reality you
only sometimes think about it.
I don’t
know what to do, however I now that want to make an effort in trying to consume
less, but that doesn’t necessarily seem like it’s always possible. So when you
can’t don’t hate yourself so badly, so long as you are trying you’re a step above
the people who don’t care. And while you can never make the most difference,
you can at least do your part in making change possible.
