1. Because, let's face it, if you are one of those Democrats that spews constant rubbish about how being environmentally friendly will cost too much, then you'll realise that you didn't quite think it through... Where do you think we get all the resources from to make money and more technology?
2. Because... Life isn't all about humans. There's a whole planet out there and Joe (common Joe) thinks about his stomach.
3. Sustainability. Being more sustainable, funnily enough, will actually give humans the chance to be able to use a relative amount of resources and not have to worry about them running out. We can do it with energy... We can do it with forests, too.
4. We're causing a lot of extinctions from human activity and industry... In New Zealand, since the 1800's (and conveniently around the time British settlers arrived) about 25-30% of native birds have gone extinct from human activity - Namely cats, possums, rabbits and Mustelids (ferrets, stoats and weasels) being introduced here.
5. Deforestation. Forests, like the Amazon and Indonesian rainforests, are being demolished at a ridiculous rate. Pretty soon there won't be much of those forests left. Where will we get wood for building from then?
6. Land degradation. If we are unwise about how we go about agriculture, eventually we will run out of land to use for it. I did some research on this at university and around 50% of all agricultural land is degraded - Bad enough that it can;t be used again.
7. Global Warming. It's not a myth. Granted, it's not majorly serious at this point, but potentially it could cause some major problems.
8. Climate change. Another major problem and partially linked to global warming. Around the world, weather has been observed to have been indirectly affected from global warming. I believe that La Nina and El Nino are also related.
9. Morals. Morally speaking, how is it fair that we just... want more (as James Rachels once said and I believe that this originally stemmed from Socrates, or Aristotle), but we don't want to take care of the conditions to allow for more, without destroying something in return for it? What is so important about human beings?
10. Technology. It could be so much more useful and sustainable, but instead of spending more money on that, we waste billions each year just on improving the cool shit that we already have. What is so important about TVs, cellphones and computers that they need to be better at least every six months? I mean, are they not already good enough to begin with...?
