Lifestyle Choices

“We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyone is arguing over where they're going to sit.” -David Suzuki. What do you think this quote means in terms of the environment and the future of the earth, and where would you sit in the "car"?

In terms of the environment, the above quote illustrates the sheer stupidity of how human beings are able to argue over something so trivial when there is an oncoming threat. This quote sends a message that if human beings are unable change their lifestyle and priorities, the future of our earth will have a disparaging, inevitable fate. In addition, the quote also illustrates how human being can be selfish by only thinking of themselves and “where there’re going to sit in the car”. Personally, I have also considered myself to be advocate for environmental change in the world and am a strong believer in climate change. However, I believe there is still a great deal of lifestyle change in my life that needs to be done in order to protect our environment. Although I hate to admit the majority of times in my life I have joined in the argument of “where to sit in the car” and put the choices of my own well being and successes before environmental change. In the future I will set goals of environmental change to my lifestyle as well as campaigning and donating to environmental and wildlife protection agencies. We will never be judged by the things we almost did or wanted to do, but the choices we made.
