Environment v quality of life

Amidst all the talk of climate change, we hear little about population growth. Any given land area has a finite capability to produce food/water. I fear that until we address this issue as well, were are headed for disaster.

Perhaps we could scrap cars and maybe go back to horses, but I guess they also burp. 

I look at all the positive thing the postwar generations have done for this country and the world and generally I'm quite proud of what we achieved.  Figuratively speaking, when I hung up my work boots I also hung up my worry beads.  It is now up to the current generations to take thing forward.

Who's vilifying Greta?

Not me!

And I'm a 70 year old. Don't paint us all with the same brush.....🤔

Now up to younger generations? I think not. Unfortunately it is us oldies with our outdated beliefs that are meddling too much in a future we will not even play a part in. You just have to look at the mess our decision makers (and us) are in right now to realise that it's the older generations who have caused it and 'we' continue to allow the problems to escalate. 

If we are to hand over responsibility to the the younger generations then we need to 'let go more'. I have far more faith in them.
