Preserve And Protect

Water tables are dropping
and the sea level is rising
and the land mass is shrinking

destruction?

Your economic theory can't explain our melting ice-caps
and your pocketbooks however big can't cover the cost of

will start to become short-term economic problems,
and the capitalists will derive their own set of outcomes
which will probably incorporate new types global/earth

but do you really think that what we achieved is what is 
best?

The fate of the world depends on how we decide to live.
The things we do, the things we buy, affect the 
environment.

When are you going to open your eyes and see that your 
function

is not to contribute, but put an end to this destruction?
When are you going to realize that you can mend this world 
we live in?
