compare and contrast
a (paper) bag of flour
a (plastic) bag containing bread

The latter is certainly pumped full of non-water non-yeast non-flour ingredients. (One of the problems with baking your own bread is that most yeast is dried, and packaged into plastic bags)

The former, once baked, will taste fresher and better and be cheaper and more nature-friendly. Plus you can fine-tune your bread into containing nutritious ingredients.

The latter is easier. but you get all the non-bread ingredients, and a nice unrecycleable plastic bag. Sure you can kid yourself and go 'But I'll re-use it, honest!' But by choosing to buy bread at a store the store receives feedback, roughly to the equivalent of 'They'll buy it, so let's stock more' therefore deciding there's a demand for it, and a profit to be made. The shop, the store, the supermarket will sell exactly what sells the most, and won't go out of their way to offer you more nature-friendly products 'just for fun'.

a (cardboard) box of matches (pieces of wood)
a (plastic) lighter

Which one is more nature-friendly?
Which one is more convenient?

Is there someone on this planet who is going to claim that a lighter helps save forests from being cut down and reduced into matchsticks?

//

There are places in this world where you can not buy toilet paper in a paper bag, there is no other choice but to buy it wrapped in plastic. Why?

//

And then our favourite throne of power, the porcelain stool. What a modern-day convenience. You can purchase plastic objects which will make it smell 'nicer', so, visiting it will be a 'nicer experience'. of course, they run out, so let's replace, replace, replace, replace, replace.

And then there's sewage.
Sewage: human waste; sham-poo; hygiene products; dishwashing-liquid; washingpowder; (mostly fluoride and aluminium oxide) toothpaste; every kind of imaginable beautifying product. Everything, right now, immediately, and some or most of it becomes, sewage.

You know, sewage could be a nice word - sew-age. The age of sewing, as opposed to just throwing out broken clothes and other such objects. It isn't.

But who is going to give up the porcelain stool and do their deed in the forest? some, perhaps. But what about the city-livers? There just doesn't seem to be a choice.

//

Every single hygiene-product is sold to us in plastic containers, and this is supposed to be called progress?

//



//

Recycling in some countries is all well and nice, but since it is not universal, since it does not cover every single product (starting from candy-wrapping and moving on to batteries and (plastic) water-bottles, and, to infinity) everywhere in the whole world, what is the point?

//

Smoke (normal) cigarettes? health risks notwithstanding, you will have bought at least one (1) pack of cigarettes with plastic wrapping around it, and quite possibly used at least one (1) lighter at least once. Once is once too often.

Smoke (normal) cigarettes? we all know how many 'other' ingredients are in cigarettes. and what it takes, around the world,
naturewise, to create enough tobacco to be marketed around the world.

It is said that if a (normal) cigarette-smoker switches to organic tobacco (without additives), they are still craving for 'the tobacco kick', which, quite possibly, is courtesy of the 'other' ingredients.

//

Like to have (protected) sex? well, congrats - plastic wrapping, rubber.

//

Like to spread your seed and babies occur? One word - diapers.

//

Fly around often? There hasn't been a study yet about how many trees (roughly) get destroyed via all the different kinds of pollution and waste that this modern convenience creates, and if there was a study (and do we need one, we ALL know it's not good for nature), would anyone care? Flying is soooo cheap, so environmental cares go out the window! The clouds will look just as nice from above as ever, no matter what anyone does.

//

Got home from work, feeling tired? Order food from a nice nearby take-away restaurant? It'll mostly be packed in tin-foil, plastic, or, at best, cardboardboxes/paperbags. and delivered to you on a nice motorbike or in a car.
But it's convenient!

//

Like to cook on your own? are a vegan/vegetarian? Congratulations, but most produce is still sold to us wrapped in plastic bags. Well, at least you're not getting most of the additives and preservatives, that are pumped into ready-meals, only the pesticides (or the preposterous added price of 'organic' food (and how clean can that be, in this world?) sprayed on the plants that provide us with our earth-ly produce.

//

In a hurry? Use the microwave-oven! Of course, your food will be altered by the micro-waves, but at least it's fast.

//

Need to talk to someone? Use a mobile phone! That too, of course, has 'unforeseen' results on your body, and you can be sure that the mobile phone companies would never fund un-biased research to a product they are trying to cram down our throats.

//

Thirsty? Go for the new diet drinks (DIE-to-a-T), powerdrinks, energydrinks, quick pick-me-ups, etc. but remember, even the nicest 'orange pulp + no additives' drink (or a portion of water) will be encased in plastic - non-recycleable, of course - let alone the
additives/preservatives/artificial sweeteners/artificial colour/artificial flavourings, etc, etc, ad infinitum, in most drinks. Or the corroding effect some (most) of these have on your teeth, or, brain.

//

Feeling like a quick snack? Advertising notwithstanding, sometimes having a quick bite really will help. But look at what's on offer: chocolate bars (additives/preservatives/plastic wrapping), nice ready-to-go sandwiches (additives/preservatives/plastic casing), fastfood joints.. the works. If you got money, we'll sell you anything at all. and you're in a hurry anyway.

//

Like to use computers, to communicate over the internet? Let's not even get into that.

//

A car is pretty convenient, isn't it? quick and fast. The speed gives you a nice rush, and you can compare your car-size with other car-owners (bonus!). These nice objects will be quite happy to eat up all the oil and gasoline you ever want to throw at them, and since most (or all) the fuel alternatives have been hushed up by big (oil) money, or research (thereof) has ground to a halt due to
anti-funding, let's just drive these cars until we run out of resources. Well, at least they look 'attractive'.

And then.. then we have asphalt.

//

Like to watch movies at home? Well, must have some popcorn. There's the american-style microwave oven popcorn, or frying them up in a pot. Either way, the product is sold to us in plastic wrapping (or plastic bag if you intend to pop them yourself). And then there's the television; and the cables; and the plastic videocassettes; and the dvd-cases and the dvd-discs and.. do I need to go on?

//

Have a job? Do they use plastic, or paper cups to dispense water/tea/coffee? Do they provide disposable plastic spoons?
And is there any recycling whatsoever when it comes to paper, for instance? No? Welcome to the world of computers, the much vaunted 'paperless office'. Paper-less? Paper-more!

An office must have lighting, of course, otherwise the employees cannot work overtime. Is there a single country
that recycles lightbulbs?

//

How much trash and waste do we generate per day? Does anyone even want to know? let alone the environmental damage, the damage to our physiology caused by the modern man, and then there's mental health issues.

Life isn't for the living, they say. Is it even for the dead anymore?

//

If one thinks about mankind as a player, and planet Earth as a game, it seems that the game is going to run out very soon, and mankind doesn't seem to be winning currently.

It seems that this current game-plan (or guidance) we're following is intent on making us all die.

If one thinks about planet Earth as a gametable, and every man as a player, it seems that every single player is hell-bent on making it impossible for every single other player to live in this scenario. There isn't another level. There isn't a coin to put in to restart the game by purchasing a new life, or new planet. We've got this one, this gametable, and every single new player born into it has to live with its conditions for the rest of that player's life.

I thought the game was about attaining peace; maintaining tranquility; appreciating beauty; tending to nature; cherishing life; being kind; gracious and just plain ol' good to one another; being good (vs. evil). Making this into a paradise.

Nobody said anything whatsoever about the whole of mankind destroying itself by new modern scientific contraptions.

What in the hell is going on? What's going on in this hell?


In essence, our *KNOWLEDGE, our *SCIENCE (and our *PHARMACY) are destroying this world and the inhabitants thereof.


Nobody said ANYTHING whatsoever about the whole of mankind destroying itself via attained knowledge (used without sense)



(* KNOWLEDGE - Enoch 68:14-16)
Since they (men) were only created, so that, like the angels of heaven, they
might remain righteous and pure.
Then death, which destroys every thing, would not have affected them;
But by this, THEIR KNOWLEDGE, THEY PERISH, and by this also its power
consumes them.
http://jahtruth.net/kofkad.htm

(* SCIENCE - 1 Timothy 5:20)
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and]
vain babblings,
and OPPOSITIONS OF SCIENCE (knowledge) FALSELY SO CALLED: Which some
professing [to have] have
erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with thee. Amen.
http://jahtruth.net/kofkad.htm

(* PHARMACY - Galatians 5:19)
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these];
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, PHARMACY,
hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past,
that they which do such things shall NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.
