Deep Ecologists commenting on environmental managers

As we said before on our last comment, the previous graph shows and demonstrates how technology has made people blind in many environmental ways. Technology has made us very lazy and its consequences are that we stop making actions to have a better future regarding environment and our atmosphere in which we live. The graph´s title is "perception of technological change affects our behavior" as the title, says, it is affecting our behavior and they way we are acting towards our world. If there is any existing problem in the world, we now tend to leave it all to technology because people think that technology is the solution, and they are clearly wrong as mentioned before. So basically, what you are saying is that without technology we do not work, we are useless and that is incorrect. We need to know how to deal problems in different life situations just so that we are prepared for any issue and this way not being dependent on technology because we get used to things that we really shouldn’t.

The changes of society is what has lead to the damage of the environment, human beings have misused technology because at first it was only used when it was needed, and now it is replacing and taking over nature. With time society changes depending on their necessities and we tend to look for help in technology but we don’t release the damage we are creating at the same time. This facts taking by The Natural News show us how the damage is causing technology but we are not aware of it.

·      -        Modern technology typically uses non-renewable energy in some form (electricity, fuel, etc). Since these resources are limited, and the production and distribution of such energy is harmful to the environment in the general case, technology itself damages the environment, therefore.

·        -       Modern technology typically uses harmful processes in production, for example, highly toxic and acidry processes are involved in the making of computer chips, etc.

·         Modern technology typically has a finite lifetime, leaving behind toxic waste, slowly degrading plastics, etc.

·         -      Technology in general changes the environment. Rarely for the better, and often for the worse, thus damaging the environment. This includes the building of river dams, the straightening of rivers, or simply the building of roads.

This graph represents how technology is being misused since is just used for our own benefit and comfort. Technology is being used when we burn fossil fuels to create a source of energy that we can rely on, but we don’t release the damage that we are causing every time we use technology for our benefit. As the graph shows, we can see the difference between the amount of fuel production and the amount of fuel combustion since the fuel production is much lower than the fuel combustion. So every time we rely on technology to get fuel we are not releasing the damage we are creating to the environment. So in conclusion technology is not going to help improve the damages that are already done, we can solve them without relying on it.

In this graph we can see how the temperature has been increasing in the past years and the basic cause of it is the wrong use of technology. The only way to solve this environmental problem is by living technology aside and stating to take care of it by ourselves and not depending in technology. Since we are the ones that cause it, we should be the ones to fix it.
