When you are five, you think long term is next week. When you are in high school you think long term is next year. Young people aren’t thinking 20 and 30 years in the future, even thought that is when they will be running the world and the choices that we make today will make it either easier or harder to run the world in 30 years. Most of the people interested in sustainability are old. Who cares what they think, they will be dead when all this stuff they are talking about happens anyway. Sustainability must not be very important. If it was, young people would be interested in it.
With all these natural factors working against sustainability, it is no wonder that there is no push to be sustainable.
In fact, though, there may be some changes coming soon that start us doing more about sustainability. More about that next time.
