If deforestation and global warming is all just politics, why did Beijing start following Western thinking?!

Chopsticks = Choptrees

Straits Times, WORLD section page 40, under the Slice of Life section, Saturday, August 11 2007:

Beijing announced the end of use of disposable chopsticks in China as part of the campaign for a 2008 “green” Olympics.

“Restaurants should (permanently) abandon the use of disposable chopsticks for the good of their health and environment,” the China Daily paraphrased China Cuisine Association secretary-general Bian Jiang as saying.

In other words, it will not be a temporary gimmick for the Olympics, it’s for real!

Quoting from New Internationalist:
China is severely short of trees only – 13.9 per cent of its 9.6 million square kilometres is covered by forest. Its amount of forest land per capita is ranked 121st in the world. Now 12 of the 40 state-owned logging companies have nothing left to fell. ‘The remaining 80 million hectares of natural forests will disappear in a decade if this felling continues,’ says Professor Shen Guofang, of Beijing Forestry University.

So I guess the evolution theory is out - even from a geooogical view. We should just accept everything as God's will - even mass destruction.

(Anybody got a bucket?)

That would be the Biblical aspect of it >.>

Hmm. Do you hate yourself a lot?

We have just as much capacity for creating as for destroying.

yes.. x]
your absolutely right
we have such a GREAT capacity for creation...
i mean seriously, look at all our past accomplishments~

we created inefficient factories that burn the shit out of fossil fuels
we created automobiles to burn even more fuels
we created plant life by creating greenhouses, which in turn created the greenhouse effect
we created blades, to destroy the forests so that we may CREATE more farms x]
we created all these wonderful little convenient items x]
and wrapped them in these cute little 'disposable' packages.
we created glass x]
we created nuclear factories that create massive amounts of nuclear waste
hell~
we're even creating our own demise w/ all these WONDERFUL creations of ours x]
or, if we can create even more x]
we'll create a colony in space and and and, we'll even create more rubbish to dump on it~
i mean...look at the space surrounding our lovely planet x]
we've got so much liter and trash up there already
it's a miracle they hasn't turned into garbage yet >.>'

buut then again x]
these are just some of my thoughts
in all reality
i'm a selfish person
and i could honestly care less about the world and it's issues >.>'
heartless?
cold?
maybe, perhaps
but then~ meh x]
too much bother to worry about things that i can't help.
