After a big gap, here is well the bigger picture. In my last post, I said we should do everything we can to play our part to help earth. Here are more reasons as to why we should do this.

    From watching the planet earth series, it is very clear that there are a number of species of animals  nearing extinction. But there is nothing that we can do to save these immediately. Most of these species are in third world countries like India and Africa. The reason that these are becoming extinct in the first place is because the locals are killing the animals and selling tusks,hides,horns,etc. to pay for their day to day survival. One cannot go and ask these locals to stop hunting these animals because they are facing extinction. In most of these countries, there is no easy means of survival. It is unethical to ask these men and women to give up their survival in order to save some rare species of animals. One's own survival always takes precedence over everything else... which questions the very basic ethics of existence..

    The same logic extends to the problem of global warming as well. Billions are trying to earn just enough to feed their family. They do not care about the fact that the vehicles they drive does not meet the emission standards and so on. So in a manner of speaking preservation of the natural ecosphere and trying to make human civilization survive a little longer is luxury.   

    Taking a step back into an even bigger picture. The Universe is 15 Billion years old. The earth is 4 billion years old. Life's evolution on this planet has been for a mere insignificant amount of time when compared to the life of the universe. That is the reason why life is so precious.. In the bigger scheme of things, no matter what we do, our sun is going to burn out in another 5.5 billion years and our Milky way galaxy is on a collision course with our neighbour the Andromeda galaxy. Assuming life on earth does survive that long, hopefully we have discovered interstellar space travel and moved out of the galaxy. Still life as we know today might not be the exist then..

   Taking another step back, many religions do not believe in all the scientific facts that i just said. People have totally different theories about the evolution or creation of life on Planet Earth. In either case, please do everything you can to preserve the natural habitat on the planet. Selfish politicians and power hungry armies spend billions in the name of war and military enhancements. It only takes a few millions to save a species and guide people to follow steps that would preserve the natural habitat and these endangered species of animals and plants. Saving the natural habitat on the planet is for those of us enjoying a luxorious life. We should do our part..
