In a website like this there has to be a page about the environment because that is what the whole savetheplanet thing is about, using technology that does NOT change our environment. Our environment is our placenta. We live in it and not outside of it and it has taken eons to get to this stage and support the life it does. Being part of a culture that knows it is either accidentally or deliberately altering our placental bag is just plain stupid.
The problem we seem to have though is just who exactly is most responsible for our impending environmental dilemma whilst the actual answer in the fog is simple. We all are and we know why and we are afraid to admit it.
If you want to try and work out a little bit more about how our planet breathes and lives whilst suffering the burden of mankind as I did, then these sites below go a long way towards giving you a better idea that even though we know loads of things, we still don’t care enough.
