Treehugger.com posted a study today about how humans are over-consuming the Earth's natural resources faster than it can renew them. The evidence used to create a forecast that says by the year 2050 we will need two planets to support human activities is very real. It is based on fact, on what we have done to the Earth, thus far.
We can become better stewards of this planet and the resources it contains. We should pressure our governments to develop actionable plans to conserve, preserve, and protect what we have left. We, of course, can practice this in our own personal lives, but we must make this a local, national, and global effort. Instead of rewarding those that take from the Earth and only give pollution in return, let's reward and invest in those that look for renewable, clean, and conservation-friendly energy and other human practices. I really doubt we will be able to find another planet soon enough with the kind of resources we require and want. We really shouldn't have to get another planet anyway.
