Soft ecologists to cornucopians:


There is no need to use technology when we have something as wise as nature. The problems that are now a day on our environment are gas emissions, deforestation as you say. But all of these problems started because of the increase of technology. And we agree that technology should be wisely used, but people do not have the culture to use it that way. We also agree that the technological advantages have helped with tools that will clean the environment but is the least thing that they could do if they are the once that started. Big industries have replaced human work with machines that need fossil fuels to work; the chemicals used for the crops are really risky for health and the amount of waste and garbage that humans have due to food is amazingly big. “In 2010, Americans generated about 250 million tons of trash and recycled and composted over 85 million tons of this material, equivalent to a 34.1 percent recycling rate .On average, we recycled and composted 1.51 pounds of our individual waste generation of 4.43 pounds per person per day.” (epa.gov)


“The truth is that the only essential to life is humans. Without humans the world would not be what it is, and would never become the thing it is now”
This is what you are saying and for us it is ironic for you to say this. In the only thing that we agree with you is that without humans the world would not be the way it is, but sadly humans have destroyed our world instead. We consumed the resources the world had for us in such an small period of time that we altered natures normal cycle. 



For example in these graphs we can see the total urban solid waste that we make domestically commercially relaying somehow in technology. as we can see the comercial and industrial part of the graph is the one that most contaminates with a 45% since it is powerful because of the technological advances and supplies that we have now a days.
