A New Religion

Apprarantly according to the BBC, Environmentalism has become a religion! he goes on to argue that we need to look after ourselves, rather han other species and to "stop feeling guily about our impact on the environment".

Personally I think of this as a rather selfish attitude to take, and certainly trying to secularise the environmental movement isnt helpful either.

Indeed, every living creature has an impact on the environment, but we go byond these natural limits which the ecosystem can manage with the use of technology and geologial resources, including fossil fuels.

I do not see myself as a 'follower' or a 'beliver', but rather as somebody who thinks that we are damaging our planet, through the excesses of Globalisation, Pollution and inefficient technology. We have no right to take away the capabilities of future generations of our species as well as others to have clean air, water and access to resources.

Are we all going to go to 'hell' because we pollute too much? and that we all worship Ghia to push for Wind Turbines in Cumbria?

The person who wrote the article may actually want a reality cheak when it comes to religious decisons made in politics.
