Conservation Vs. Capitalism?

As a Capitalist...I'm a firm believer in Conservation.

Makes sense right?...Why destroy the resources that will help you profit?

It also makes sense to get the most bang out your buck with minimal waste.

I do believe in a clean planet and that each and every one of us should do our part on a individual basis to keep the planet clean...within reason.

Conservatives pride themselves on efficiency. They should. But that ethos should also carry over into taking care of the environment as well.

I love nature.

Nature is God's gift to us (I know that mentioning God pisses some of you guys off...and BTW...I don't care)

and we should do our best to take care of it.

Nature gives us the land to make trees to build houses. Nature gives us animals to hunt and to eat and to feed people. Nature helps us relax and free ourselves from the unnecessary burdens in life.

If we destroy nature then we end up hurting ourselves.

But guess what?...Human Beings are part of nature too...

The problem with some environmentalist is that they are WORST than political conservatives. They absolutely want 'no change' in the environment. They believe that by preserving the environment in its full natural state....meaning with no human intervention....will be the best thing to sustain the environment. To a degree....I agree. But they forget one thing

We are part of that environment too!
The evolution of the human species is design to technologically progress forward. So what does that mean? It means if you had to start the world over again...eventually people would re-invent the cars, telephones, nuclear power, etc etc..

There is no stopping it. Resistance is futile. Meaning...you are not going to get rid of Capitalism. It is here to stay.

And so by using sound reasoning...if you have something that will always be here...and you can't get rid of it...then maybe we ought to you use it. What's the saying..."Can't beat'm...Join'm."

And hence we have this conclusion...

"Capitalism and Nature Form a Mutual Symbiotic Relationship"
-One cannot sustain without the other, given the real world we live in

Now I welcome anyone who wants to use this as a graduate thesis. Run with it. This revelation needs to get out.

So here I explain....(Environmentalist bear with me)

What allows us to make better quality and efficient use of energy?
Technology right? The answer is yes.
What inspires technology?..........Creativity and Curiosity.
But what sustains that creativity and curiosity?......Demand.
and Demand fosters Capitalism....the supposedly Great Evil Against the Environment.

But let's go back to what I just said..."There is no stopping civilization exploiting the resources to better society". Just accept it. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

So change your thinking. Instead of thwarting Capitalism,... use it. Make it work for you. Because the quickest way to facilitate creative people to innovate efficient technology is...can you guess what it is? Capitalism.

I know. You are starting to feel dirty.

The United States...is the forefront of innovation...but if you impede the progress by non-sense regulation and frivolous lawsuits...then what have you really done? You have cut your own throat. Why? Because there are about 191 our countries who may not give a damn about regulations...and meanwhile they too are polluting the earth.

...and you know what? Population is booming and there will be more demand for energy, cars, etc...more green house gases. You follow me?

So it doesn't do us any good by slowing the US down. You are just holding everyone else back too. And thus only extending the timeline we continue to pollute this earth recklessly. Makes sense right?

Many third world nations are going through their own Industrial Revolutionary phase much like the United States and Europe did....and like us...with archaic technology. Hence they are re-inventing the wheel sucking up resources needlessly and inefficiently.... much like we did. But why let them go through that pain when we already learned it? What we have learned can be shared with them.

But first...you must foster innovation in the United States.....by Boosting Capitalism.

How do we do this? Investing is one way (By promoting incentives to advance in new technology). Lowering capital gains taxes to foster capital growth and investments is another. And the hardest one for you all is... de-regulation. I cannot say what to de-regulate. There are smarter guys than me that can figure that out. But my point is this....don't be afraid to look into it. Don't be a Staunch Conservative for Christ Sakes!! LoL

Instead of resisting and complaining about Capitalism, figure out a way to use it. You might as well speed up technological advances in the United States...because that's the only way you're really going to get everyone else up to speed.

Environmentalist....
Capitalism...at this juncture....is your best friend.

I know this sours you...but don't let it be your albatross.

Get it? Albatross....bird...as in part of the environment....never mind.
LoL
