We are the top of the food chain. Our duty is to perfect our species and to dominate all others. Our duty is to utilize anything provided to us to complete the never ending instructions to perfection.
“Being green” is a virus to our genetic programming that acts as any virus does, it replicates and subverts the system.
Every time you choose plastic over paper, then persons who plant trees for a living have been given less to do thus endangering their jobs and the ability to provide for their family(their evolutionary line),same can be said for those who cut the trees, to those who sell the wood, to those who make the paper, to those who make and sell the bags.
Every “green” decision that puts an inferior creature’s well being in front of our own does similar damage to our species. In theory and practice, the practice is an abomination.
Being green is a virus and should be treated as such.
