    You might take more, but I don't. So just cut out the 'we' talk. I didn't vote to let you represent me, and I'm not an American either.

    I keep clicking on this thread, looking at the imagines, and trying to find some words. The only one I can come up with is: "fuck."

    Trump wants to remove regulations to allow for immediate maximum profits by the energy and production industries.

    He vowed to bring back "millions" of coal mining jobs and we must assume that coal would get burnt somewhere in the world. The effects on millions working in the coal sector would be devastating.

    Ryerson State Park's 45 year old lake in Green County PA had its breastwork crack 11 years ago due to long wall mining and will never hold water again as the ground is still to unstable for the dam to be rebuilt. More mining is planned in the area and will cause further damage.

    Trump wants to cancel the Paris Climate agreement.

    Trump wants to abolish the EPA.

    If Trump actually managed to kill EPA, Percival predicts that a race to the bottom would ensue, with states deregulating pollution and toxic chemicals in order to attract dirty industries. But it could be even more chaotic than that: Liberal states, environmental and public health organizations, and affected communities could sue the federal government, arguing it is failing to meet its legal obligations. That could lead to court orders that the executive branch would not be able to comply with unless Congress reestablished the agency or something like it.

    "We" is a general term. You may deem yourself superior to be included in the "we" generalization but the destruction is exceptionally broad to isolate down to "some people". In fact, take a look out your own window, that is if you are truly from SE Asia:

    or this:

    "Enormous quantities of food are thrown away every day. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about one third of global food production (around 30 to 40%), is lost or wasted annually."

    Most of the waste is generated by Americans, Most of the pollution is made by China.
    I belong to neither group, nor do I have any influence over either group.
    So how can I be held accountable?

    If you dont have a big footprint like you said, then I imagine you're holding yourself accountable.

    But i think he just meant the general we. You are part of the human species, and our species as a whole is destroying the planet.

    Not singling you out. Just pointing out the vast majority. If you do limit your mark, awesome.

    All those hunters with hounds in Wisconsin who slaughtered more than 200 Wolves in Wisconsin’s forests. Wrong on so many counts....The Wolf was a reintroduced predator on the endangered species list till T———. The kill was more than three times the agreed upon limit. Not only is hound hunting inhumane, many of the slaughtered animals were pregnant. The DNR didn’t want a season but were forced by the Republican Legislature. Ugly, ugly....I can’t imagine how those “hunters” sleep at night but then I can’t imagine any human killing another by kneeling on their neck to 8 minutes either.
