Therefore to me, what I have read about wild life, pollution and facts about deep ecology seems like loads of silly assumptions about what we humans need to do and how we need to take care of the enviroment. Is it helping though? If you sort your garbage and recycle? If you decide to not take the next plane to London?
Arne Næss made deep ecology so people could care about our enviroment and nature more, instead of hurting it and destroying it day by day. He also thought about the animals and plants, because we all know that they are the ones giving us much of what we need to survive today - such as food, clothing and in some parts of the world, building materials for our homes. The bad thing is that animals who were "special" in the hunters eyes, almost died out because of too much hunting. So today hunting is forbidden in order to reduce the amount of animals to the next generation. If we also don't manage to save the rainforests, the climate of the world is threatened.
Same as pollution, which is a serioust threat to our enviroment today. Because of chemical waste from fabrics and farming and from the amount of gasoline our cars and machines let out, damaging of air, soil and water is happening.
I agree with Arne Næss and I like how he thinks, but I don't think I can make a difference just because I want to. There are so many people in this world who are probably thinking that they can make a difference by skipping a flight to China or recycle everything when it comes to garbage, when there actually is a slight chance because gasoline and pollution is happening everyday in all sorts of countries.
