Protecting Nature or Protecting the Livelihoods

Since I learned that 95% of global warming is caused by human activities, I feel really disappointed. Of course some amount of the natural areas have to be used by humans to build up livelihoods, but I see that humans damage the nature more than their needs. They are not aware of the fact that we need more plants, more oxygen in order to survive from global warming. Actually, they don't care. It is in human nature. Some people don't even care about these issues. They don't prefer to keep the nature healthy for their future generations. We face the problems that our past generation caused, and if we don't try to fix it like by recycling our future generations will see the problems that we caused. I am not saying that we should protect 100% of nature, but I'm just saying we should protect it as much as we can. The percentage doesn't matter. Every single action will make the future more clean. Living in an healthy world is the future generations' right as well as ours, so first we have to protect the nature for ourselves, than for the future generations. We have to be aware of our responsibilities to our nature. What about the livelihoods such as hospitals? Yes, they do have to exist too, but not by damaging many amount of the nature. Again, we need it more than we need shopping malls, cinemas, football fields, etc.

Great news for the ones who want to contribute to the issue! Tarsus American College Student Council's environmental committee put some recycling boxes around the campus. I hope you will put your wastes in them:) Love all of you.

Totally Unethical!

In order to measure biomass, destructive techniques are used. Trees are cut down and plants are destroyed. Is is unethical?


In my opinion, this is totally unethical. Today, we live in a world of global warming and this is a fact that we need the plants more than anything. I do not think that the amount of the plants are enough for all the world. Because of it people try to increase the numbers of plants in the whole world but on the other hand some of us are destroying them. There is already a destroyement of trees because of the productions of sheets. I get angry about that issue as well. We have to recyle the papers. Cutting down and destroying the life sources cannot be ethical. Anyway, biologists use mathematical table for the other plots but still, this is not an excuse. We need oxygen which we cannot reach by destroying the producers. Also, there is a natural disaster called erosion. It we cut down the trees and destroy the plants for any reason , they cannot hold the soil with their roots so erosion occurs.

At least, we use the papers for beneficial things but I think we can still live without measuring the biomasses of the innocent organisms and plants :) 

Has anyone seen a racist around there?

Carl Linnaeus, thank you for your all discoveries such as classification and taxonomy. Today, we still use them, but I am a little concern about your classification of homosapiens.

American: copper-coloured, choleric, regulated by custom
Asiatic: sooty, melancholic, governed by opinions
African: black, phlegmatic, governed by caprice
European: fair, sanguine, governed by laws

This might be your opinion, not a statement. As human beings, we have a skill which is adaptation. We are trying to adapt to our living conditions. For example when we look at the serial killers' lifes, we see that their family life are horrible. Some of them raped by their own fathers, some of them even don't have a father. This is a simple example but we can think of lots of examples on that issue. Not our race builds our characters, the conditions build our characters so I think that classifying the humans is impossible. What if an Asian and an African person have baby? What can you say about the offspring's character? You cannot know homosapiens by their races. I heard from the gossips that you were known as a racist people in your social life too. I didn't get surprised when I heard it. Sorry but, I think so. Again, thank you for all the discoveries which we still use. Rest in peace.
