Why should we care about the environment?

You're right.Let my grandchildren suffer the consequences!

Caring for the environment and taking steps towards a more energy efficient infrastructure would probably be more beneficial to us than not...

because you live here.

I say we let the earth rot so our grandchildren live in some badass dystopia like the city in Children of Men :o

Because the Earth is kind enough to let us be its residents.cyberdarkkid

wisest thing ive heard someone say in a while

So that we may push for a better tomorrow.

Why should we care about the environment you ask?

1. If the oceans and lakes are polluted, that means more fish and sea-animals will die.

2. I can't stand the smell of trash on the ground

3. Earth is the only planet we got, so we might as well do our best to keep it clean.

People like the OP not existing in this world would benefit the environment greatly.

We should we care? Because we live in this environment. Even now our industrialization has affected the air quality we breathe, there is deforestation, etc. Why have foresight? Because we have empathy for the lives of future generations of people. If you don't care about humanity you better isolate yourself in a little box and never interact with anyone. Why not off ourselves right now?

The amount of selfishness on the TC's behalf overwhelms me. Even when i die, i still want this planet to be around to support all future generations including animals. One less selfish person in this world will benefit the rest of us greatly.

No i'm no PETA nutjob so DON'T quote me.

The Earth takes care of us we should take care of it.

I guess you don't care about future generations cuz once your dead who cares if anyone can survive right?

If the Earth dies so do we.

Your parasitical mindset disturbs me.

because humans are worthless jerks who destroy the environment that gives them the very life that they take for granted. we should at least cut the beautiful earth a little slack.

like Doc. Manhattan said in the graphic novel Watchmen

Doc.: Mars gets along perfectly without so much as a micro-organism.See, there's the south pole below us. No life. No life at all, but giant steps 90 feet high, scoured by dust and wind into a constantly changing topographical map, flowing and shifting around the pole in ripples ten thousand years wide. Tell me... would it be greatly inproved by an oil pipeline?

Why should we care about the environment? we wont be here, shouldnt we invest in things that we can benifit from in our lifetime? slighly selfish but isnt that what the previous generation did to us?BayAreaX

What are you some kind of PETA nutjob?

Because if we kill the Earth and therefore kill ourselves before we invent the Time Machine, humanity will never get the chance to fight against dinosaurs...

Because it is beautiful beyond words...

...and because our existence depends on its survival.

Quite simple dont you think?

Slightly selfish? Essentially ruining the lives of thousands of generations of humans just so you can be lazy is slightly selfish? Very selfish I daresay.

And yes, if we don't take care of our environment now, then the next generations won't ever experience true nature, go on a plane ride (not enough oil), or do many things we take for granted. Eventually it'll get so bad that it WILL ruin the lives of billions.
