Eden


Eden

Eden was organic
Eden was biodiverse
Eden was a paradise
till one day Adam made a slingshot
and Eve craved for designer boots


Note:
I re-watched David Attenborough’s Planet Earth and the last disc of The Future contain 3 episodes: saving species, into the wilderness, living together. I was really pissed by the clowns using most two reason to dissuade the Change: 1.‘We don’t really know climate change is man-made factor’. 2. ‘…, yes, we have to save our environment, our planet, BUT there are majority poor People in the world, we Have To Develop the Global Economy to help them.

The first question is debunked today that most people believe Climate Change is man-made factor. But the second excuse is really subtle to argue.

There are 2 types of people who using Economy Development to block or postpone the Earth-Saving Movement: really poor people live in all corners of the global who have no clean water and enough food to feed their families and most of them are like my grandparents generations in China (1950-1980) never learned birth-control was a possible method to prevent tragedy, every family breed nearly 10 children, and a few of their children die of malnutrition, actually starvation is the right word, mothers have no food to eat, and they cannot produce milk, only stare at their infant die. Every family has its story of 2 or 3 infants died during 1950-1970, usually the youngest. Their real problem is they lack of education about their economy structure limits a couple’s ability to only raise 1 or 2 child(ren), because the wealth of the nation is not distributed in socialist or communist structure, which means families share even portion produce of the land. Even today, in developed world such as US, the tax payers can only afford to together bring up every child to grow up by providing food and necessity, not piano or ballet class, not college tuition or a good paid job. Kids can survive, but to succeed they must compete, study hard, otherwise they will be jobless, knee deep in debt, and suffer. The system sort us out, the violent and aggressive are lock up, the smart and diligent gain more choices. Baby booming only good for economy, it drives down labor cost, accelerates consumption and helps those at top accumulate more wealth in fast rate. If poor people have convenient contraception support and choices like free college courses, travel then they would not choose to have 4th or 5th or 6th or more child. But governments lure the poorly educated people to bring more babies into their future economy and labor force by promising them free child care and hospital, formula aid etc, and backed by large corporations chanting the slogan of Economic Development for purely corporation profit aim. Many parents grow up in poor environment never really learned about basic human value and dignity living, and they compare every situation with their childhood memory so they breed. My parents were poor, they never really cared about my future when they bred me, like most of Chinese parent generations, they did not know about economy, nor real life value being poor since their childhood, many of them did not even do a basic math of wage divide by mouth. So I think for a global corporation lobbyists to advocate Economic Development for the poor better divide more of their annual profit to the poor country directly instead of giving a good speech or argument. Also, most poor don’t care about economy development, nor they really care about their children living condition otherwise they would take the pill or herb.

Saving environment is mostly nations, governments’ and corporations’ responsibility. Not the poor people, because people starve spend all their time and energy to scramble for some crumbs, they would shoot a rhino or an elephant, cut off the horn and tusk, in fact they would bless God by doing it, because that’s a (probably only) way they can get out, pull their family out of poverty, send their kids to college or money for the road to Europe or America, if I were a poor father I will shoot the last rhino or elephant, I would shoot it with AR-15, I would make sure its god damn dead and cut all profitable pieces to just give my son or daughter a future out of cesspool that I repent to bring them there. The poor people’s job is to dodge suffering and starvation, to move up ladder. The poor have no financial muscle, no political structure, no scientific insight or wisdom, no foresight to preserve our environment. The most they can do is protest in EU and US, other parts of world they cannot even protest to save their forests, old landmarks, or rivers. But, the Rich powerful global corporations add together their capitals can buy all the green lands, they have financial ability and political influence to do the right thing, it’s purely their responsibility, but right now they care about converting forests to a few gazillion numbers on their saving accounts, and they do that under a banner of ‘helping the poor of the world’, like our politicians and all their corporal lobbyist buddies singing ‘creating jobs for American’.

there’s an Ancient Chinese proverb: “留得青山在,不怕没柴烧””keep the mountain green, so never run out of firewood”

I love all David Attenborough’s nature series! So educational for me, artists and writers should all watch those dvds, a lot of inspiring material there, good for creativity.
