We all want to live in an untainted, unadulterated, unpolluted world where our resources arise in abundant supply. We don't want our water to be full of impurities such as waste products, both natural and generic, for this leads to illnesses and calls for even more funding in medical provisions, not to mention the overwhelming inconvenience it produces as was seen in the Woburn case where supposedly the water had caused several children to develop Leukemia because of chemical dumps carried out by powerful, industrial companies. We don't want adulterated soil where we cannot grow trees or build upon because of landfills taking up far too much space and plaguing the earth itself and we definitely do not want for our homes to be placed next to such landfills because consumption runs just as high as our rapidly growing population. And as far as pollution goes, I think everyone agrees it must take its leave for it does far too much harm. The term pollution itself refers to the "fouling" of the air we breathe, water we drink, and land we cultivate and erect institutions upon (Columbia Encyclopedia, 1). And lastly, we all want to live in a world where our resources are endless and we may consume as much as we please; a world where waste is compacted and stored in remote areas and civilization is doing all it can to renew all of our resources by developing better environmental technologies and planting and regenerating a great deal of mother nature's bounty by growing trees, gathering more livestock, etc. But, is all this possible?
This picture-perfect world would be made up by a deep respect for the natural world and for each other. This world would be a considerate one where people wouldn't take half-hour showers and wouldn't be upgrading to newer things replacing the practical in order to protect the sanctity of the resources used to make such and would much rather spend their money on helping the disadvantaged.
