The Effects of Consumerism on the Environment

We are at present in a situation where the planet’s ecology is not coping with all the pollution because of a huge, continuously increasing, consumer demand. This excessive demand for consumer products has created most of the current environmental imbalances. These imbalances will become a much greater problem than most people expect this to be. These imbalances have already caused ecological disasters in different places all over the world, with many more to follow.

This rate of consumption is increasing at an alarming rate. This will cause enormous environmental devastation in the future, to the extent that around 2025, people will need to complete major changes in their lifestyles to avoid the worst possible scenario.

The greenhouse gas effect is now so severe that around 2015, the whole planet will experience the result of rising temperatures in a far more severe way than most will expect.

While most people have begun to notice that the weather is changing they may not have understood that these climate changes are the forerunner of a much more serious problem. As a result most people are not changing their lifestyles, reducing their ecological footprint, resulting in a further increase of the present ecological imbalance.

With the ever continuing increase in environmental damage there will come a time where this will reach a point of no return, whereby the planet will no longer be able to support its own functioning. It is expected that by 2025, the planet will no longer be able to cope with the severe ecological damage. This will mainly be caused due to present geological stresses, further increase of global warming, and further destruction of the planet’s ecology which is so needed by the planet to provide support for its overall functioning.

It is of benefit for people to look at how they live their life and what they can do to change their lifestyle, so that an excessive need for goods and products will not become a major drive in one’s life. This may be difficult to do while the overall consensus is to buy more products. However, this is not reducing consumerism. At times, products may be needed to improve a lifestyle; however, people often wish to increase their buying and spending power and buy more products so they can feel better or can keep up with others. Thus, this need for an increase in products in the household creates an increase in the number of products manufactured, which in turn often results in an increase in environmental damage.

While humanity needs consumer goods, the impact these products or the production processes can have on the ecology has to be reduced. To save the environment humanity can no longer continue to increase its consumption of goods and, this should therefore not be encouraged. The human race needs to envisage a future whereby people still have their comforts but without the throw-away and polluting aspects of living, as is happening in most modern-day societies.

It is important that the planet’s worsening environmental crisis is taken seriously and action is taken to make adequate change to prevent a looming ecological crisis within the next twenty years. A simpler, less polluting lifestyle will result in a more manageable, sustainable environment, which as a result can function better as a support structure for the planet’s overall functioning.

Towards 2025 – With Fewer Glaciers and Less Arctic Ice

Many of the ice structures such as glaciers, ice in mountain areas, and the Arctic icecap are melting. Most of those structures will no longer be in existence within the next twenty years. Much of the Arctic ice has disappeared and many of the glaciers are shrinking. But with all these ice structures visibly melting why are we not becoming more concerned about a future with almost no ice masses left on land? In fact, not many people have given the consequences of these melting icecaps much thought at all.

The truth is that most people believe the present rate of melting ice mass is a natural event, however, this is not so. This rapid meltdown is not necessarily the result of man-made processes any longer. This meltdown is speeded up because most of the planet’s ecological structures are no longer functioning in the best possible ways. As a result these masses of ice can no longer remain in existence while the rest of the ecology is already so damaged.

Many people are beginning to notice the consequences of pollution. The resulting ecological damage is causing much hardship for most people on all continents. With so many severely polluted waterways, atmospheric pollution all over the planet, and in some parts of the world the food quality being affected, it is important to become aware and more proactive about reducing pollution.

It is often overlooked that pollution is the main contributor to the present meltdown. Our severely ecologically damaged environment – with its own environmental processes – can from a higher perspective no longer support these processes in the best possible ways.

It is of utmost importance to look at what can be done to preserve our precious planet, our natural heritage, for our own benefit. This includes all ice structures such as icebergs, glaciers, Arctic ice and ice in mountainous regions, as these are all facets of a whole complex ecological structure.

Most people have not given much thought to what will happen once these ice masses have disappeared and the molecular structures of all the ice, in particular that on land has changed from a frozen to a more fluid state. What would eventually happen with the climate when there is hardly any ice left?

With humans already polluting most parts of the world, will there be more man-made pollution once the newly gained land is occupied, worsening the never-ending cycle of ecological destruction? Humanity is running out of time and needs to stop this increasing cycle of polluting the planet.

While this melting of icecaps and glaciers is of concern because of the ecological damage to the environment, the meltdown is also happening as part of the overall process of global warming. The present meltdown is an intricate part of a whole long chain of events affecting the climate; with this melting of ice structures placed somewhere in the middle. Once all these climate change events have completed, which is expected to be around 2025, the environment will be severely damaged. There will be almost no remaining land ice and in all likelihood constant cataclysmic events happening, with more and more environmental problems occurring.

While most of humanity is not too concerned yet about the melting of these large ice structures, there is a real concern from the Spirit world what the outcome will be because ultimately, humanity’s own survival is at stake.

While there is still enough time to make adequate change to reverse the never-ending cycle of pollution, few people are looking in that direction, they are often looking the other way.

Climate Change And Your Retirement – Your Future May Not Be What You Expect

Most people will begin tolook at their future and decide where they wish to live, what to do with their time and how best to afford it. They may even consult financial planners and know what they will do with their time once retired. They usually do not look at their future from the perspective of climate change and global warming and the outcome of an ever-increasing burden on the ecology.

One of the most important issues for all of humanity is to have sustainable living conditions and a sustainable environment. This issue is however still ignored by most people. While is likely there will no longer be an environmentally sustainable future left within the next 25 years, not many people are taking notice of this fact. This will mean that the future we would all like, one with favorable ecological conditions is no longer a certainty.

Most people would like to have a future whereby all their needs are met including enough fresh, clean air, clean water and to be able to live in a sustainable environment. They do not expect a future with such severely diminished forests, that these forests can no longer support the environment, or a potential future with lack of fresh, clean air. However, with the current trend of ever-increasing pollution and continual further devastation of forests there will soon no longer be a future that can sustain all of humanity.

While the country in which you live can influence the quality of your lifestyle, it cannot control the way the planet’s ecological structures respond to the ever-increasing pollution and ecological damage that is becoming an increasing burden. Changing weather patterns are already happening more and more and are a result of climate change.

A looming issue of importance to us al is that our forests can soon no longer adequately supply oxygen, which is a major contributor to humanity’s well-being. In addition, the oxygen we breathe might also become more and more poisoned because of man-made chemical processes as well as fall-out from volcanic eruptions. Within the next five to seven years this diminishing of fresh clean air will become a real environmental issue.

The weather patterns are changing due to global warming and ecologically unsustainable environments. This, in turn, is creating the untenable situation whereby, most likely within the next fifteen years, many river systems will no longer be able to support humanity. Also, because of the amount of pollution that flows into rivers there may no longer be enough fresh water supplies. This may begin to affect more people than currently expected within the next ten years.

While most of us do not look at our future from an ecological perspective, it is important to begin to think of what the result will be of the current continuing ecological devastation and how this may affect your future. The current climate change issues as well as the ever-increasing pollution are creating an ecological disaster situation that can no longer be fixed and nature is not capable of restoring itself

Humanity will need to make adequate changes to their lifestyle, as there are no longer other options. It is running out of time.

The Future Is Not Always Certain

Most people believe the planet will forever function in the same way it always has, however, with the present planetary ecological processes almost “beyond repair” this is not possible. Thus, by continuing to destroy what is remaining of the planet’s own functionality, it will soon no longer be possible for the planet to support itself nor support the future of humankind. Many people know this, however, not many are willing to take action to alter their way of living and to create a lifestyle which is of benefit to the planet’s own ecological structures.

Change is needed to prevent the planet from making adjustments that are beyond most people’s current understanding. These planetary adjustments could involve catastrophes such as a possible pole shift.
Humanity needs to know that this planetary change is a possibility, and will cause major catastrophic upheavals. This could be avoided; however, humanity is running out of time.

Should each person take responsibility and gain understanding about his or her own outflow, in regards to the planet’s ecological damage, most of these future, potentially catastrophic possibilities will no longer have to be an option.
The planet is our only platform for living; it is in great trouble, which is not always understood.

Why Are Planetary Changes Imminent?

The planet is a functional mechanism. It operates like any functional mechanism. A functional mechanism of a living organism, such as the planet, is driven by its own mechanical process. When this functional mechanism no longer operates according to what its own intended purpose is, it will always try to adjust itself, to achieve its next best possible way of functioning. It has a “self-adjustable” mechanism to achieve this.
In relation to a planet, this “functional mechanism” entails an enormous structure, which has a unique intelligence that is often overlooked in relation to structures such as a planet. The sun as well as all the other planets in our universe have their own innate intelligence. When the planet’s own functional mechanism is altered, its own innate intelligence will always try to restructure itself to improve its own functionality, so that it can uphold its own purpose.

The planet is no longer coping. Its own functional mechanism is no longer able to maintain the planet in the required ways. Many years of man-made diminishing of the environment, as well as the atmospheric pollution have resulted in a worsening of the planet’s own natural ability to support itself.
When the planet’s own ecosystem no longer has the capacity to operate in a way that supports the planet and the planet’s own functional mechanism, it may come to a point where the planet will need to align itself to a better state. This realignment is at present very near due to the enormous stresses placed on the environment.
