I look at recycling the same way I do smoking cigarettes. If 50 people smoke cigarettes and 1 stops, its no indication of whether the 49 will stop. Likewise, it's no indication of how many more will start up smoking in the future. Obviously, if everyone magically stopped smoking today, all over the world, it would be great. But as a person who believes heavily in determinism (and not so much in free will), I know this isn't how things work. So what I'm saying is, yes recycling is good, and you definitely get "good feelings" personally from doing it. Just know that you'll never get everyone on board, and people will never universally agree on whether it's good or not. Keep in mind that India and China have wayyyyyyyyyy more people than America. If they don't get strict on pollution, it's huge, regardless of whether or not you being your own organic burlap sacks to Wholefoods or not.
100% true. If you pay attention closely, you'll notice that the people around you who have the most health conditions also spend the most time 1)sitting down at work 2)sitting in a car too much 3) flying in planes or 4)just not doing much when at home. Blood Flow is severely altered with these behaviors. You are also accumulating tissue in all the wrong places. To be clear, I'm not referring to people who have no choice and can't help it. But there are people who are "on the fence" who just need a little wisdom.
Thing about New Orleans is the water pipes and buildings are so old, and the cost to redo it would be astronomical. If the tap water is good here, we wouldn't know. Because the water tastes like chlorine and iron and i duno what else. I work at a seafood restaurant, and Big Lots part time. At both jobs, the boss buys bottled water for employees to drink. And they fight over it like hyenas it's actually pretty funny.
