I understand that there are things that we need to do in our lives that hurt the enviroment like transportation and traveling as well as hygene and other things that people may not be able to control. But what I am curious if for the things that we Have to do could we improve them? Like traveling, theres got to be a better fuel source for plains and ships because the energy sources we're using currently won't last forever so I guess my thinking is that we shoud be asking question like what are the main issues surrounding the things off the table for us and then we should be looking for a way to improve and fix our current designs to help the environment, we need to be the generation to use creativity, Human creativity has gotten us this far I doubt this is as far as we can go so we just need to start experimenting and improving so I don't think there really is anything off the table I think we just haven't figured out a way ... yet.

You make a very interesting point. So far, the most mainstream form of green energy is solar power. However, I read an article that although solar panels are great as a source of energy, they require a lot of harmful chemicals for production and destruction (article can be found here: https://grist.org/article/2010-01-06-so … le-secret/ ). I believe if we were to make wind turbines, solar panels, and water turbines out of a strong, environmentally friendly material, we could eventually bring Earth into a healthier state. The question is, what material is strong enough and won't hurt the environment?

I see your point and completely agree that we need to make changes and find solutions before its too late. However, it takes 100 years for Carbon Dioxide to decompose in the atmosphere and about 50% of all CO2 taken in by photosynthesis goes back to the atmosphere soon after through plant respiration. Of what remains, more than 90% also returns back to the atmosphere through microbial decomposition in the soils and disturbances such as fire over the following months to years (http://theconversation.com/plants-absor … -but-32945). It is very hard to change our carbon emissions, and the fact is that big business still controls this country. Nothing is going to change because politicians only care about money and what is best for themselves and not the environment, they need start thinking about the future for us to even be able to make these changes.
