The State of the Planet
- Share via
In reading Mark Davis’ deliberately alarming column (Column Left, Sept. 17) on the imminent danger of losing our planet, I conclude that according to Davis we must stop all economic growth. Now!
We must all stop development, stop industry, stop everything we are doing to save the planet. Now!
I have observed that the true conservationists are the homeless. They don’t use unnecessary gas or electricity to heat large homes (or even small ones); they don’t drive cars, thus saving on fuel and fuel emission; they don’t bathe or use toilets, thus conserving water; they recycle our clothing; they eat our leftovers.
Unless we and Davis are willing to join them, we had better use creative thought to save our planet and not use fear-baiting journalism that advocates destructive measures to arbitrarily shut down development, industry and the economy.
