Humans ruined earth by everything

I like how both options in your poll are yes...

Well, my answer is a firm NO! I want to live in an air conditioned house with central heating, running tap water, with all of the waste water going in a sewer. I want to have a room turn from dark to bright with the flick of a switch and look up things on the internet. I want a fridge to keep my food cold and an oven to cook it.

I want to get into my car with heated seats and air conditioning, slap it in Drive and drive to work, where I work in front of a computer and the most manual labor I do is put paper in the printer.

I want to have vacations, where I get on an airplane, hurl through the air at 700kmh towards home, while drinking whiskey. I want to drive to the beach and relax. Have people bring me drinks and food and pay them with money, go fishing with my dad in an engine powered boat, so we don't have to row and when we are done fishing, we load the boat onto a trailer, pulled by a pickup truck (Cause I ain't carrying that shit)

I want to keep all 5 of my "nature killing death machines" (cars) in my garage, have them in perfect working condition and drive for fun. Cars are my hobby and passion and only modern life allows me to have a hobby, or any free time.

I do NOT want to live in a house made of dirt, without glass windows, work from dusk till dawn to care for animals and farmland, consider pork once a month the ultimate luxury and then die from a flu at age 30.

I do NOT want to travel by mule to the next village to have the blacksmith fix, or make a tool that costs everything I make in 2 months. Nor do I want to make candles out of string and animal fat and I definitely do not want to shit like an animal out in the field, or in a pit if I'm fortunate...

In the long run, humanity is destined leave Earth to find a new home. It's the next step in our evolution as we perfect future technologies that will allow our lifestyles to have less of an impact on the environment on other planets.
We will leave the Earth behind with more aggressive weather, but we won't destroy it and make it uninhabitable.

Liberal hippies, as usual, are blowing this thing out of proportion

I tried it for a week a bug crawled up my butt and I called it quits

No id rather live in luxury with air conditioning and refrigerators. You can though, you can start by shitting in the woods and giving up IIN!

Who needs an island for this?

My country has mass amounts of beautiful untouched land, and a healthy relationship with our nomadic peoples. Thousands of people live the “rough life” and still have access to all of life’s luxuries. And not only here, but I’ve been to a couple Asian countries that do this very very well.

The only ones who act like modern stuff is evil are those weird long bearded dudes in the US. “Homesteading” is a popular trend too.

Yeah, I would love to live my 30-year long life with worms, headlice, two buried children, and then eventually end up dying from an infection because the leg I just broke, and set with mud, got infected.

Also your multiple choice options are not good, because I think there should be an option for no, and maybe in order to get a good sample kiddo. Confirmation bias got you so twisted that you can't even give us balanced, and objective multiple choice options.

Yes i'd do it. Most people are lazy pussies, throw trash on the street because they can't walk to a trash can and they talk about zombie apolcalypses and how well they'd do killing zombies. Yeah right good luck with that lazy bums. Let's all go to an island and we'll see which people are actually survivors, let natural selection take care of all the rest. I'd be game for it anyday. Hopefully most people would die off.

No. Think of all that we know today, and all that we have available to us. We are slowly killing the earth, yes. But we are also saving lives, going to space, and talking to people thousands of miles away. Humanity will eventually destroy this world, but what we have achieved is far greater than anything we could do. I dont see the logic behind wanting to live like the past.

I've kind of thought of doing this type of thing before. However, it was not for environmental reasons. Rather, my thinking is, if a bunch of people agree to live on an island with little technology and me in charge, then my people would be cleansed of the evils of the modern world, and we can start anew. That would never happen, though.

Fucking liberal bullshit. Mother earth always trumps humans.

Depends.

Bro you can want the world to not be polluted and still like technology. Really should've had an option for that

Hi Edgelord

Let me guess - you also hate puppies, you think babies are selfish assholes , you think love is a lie, and you think everyone dies alone and miserable?

You ought to put a dark blue streak in your hair and listen to some My Chemical Romance to get it out of your system.

It's just a phase and you will grow out of it. Give it time.

Living to 20 and dying from probably an eradicated or at least now treatable disease 🤷‍♀️ Living to the ripe old age of 80-90 knowing that the planet is kinda trashed and humans are the worst species living on it right now

I agree that humanity is destroying the Earth but we don't need to give up everything. There's so much about our lives now that we'd kill for if we never had them: medicine, unlimited food + water, insulation, showers, clean clothes, etc. We don't need to be all-or-nothing about it. We could just do our part to help the environment (drive less, eat less meat, buy less crap, etc.) and also try to live more naturally (eat organic food, spend less time in front of screens, etc.).

Nah. I like my anti frizz hair products and hair gel. Without them, my curly ass Hispanic hair would dry out and become almost fro like. XD

We did ruin the earth but I love tech too much to just go back to how we used to live.

Since I need modern tech to live. I perfer not to. But bushcraft is a cool activity I want to get into.

Technology is great yes. Bit if faced with the choice of being in a natural community I think I would go for it. There is certain things I would need to bring with though. I'm a trans woman after all. Mh modern day meds being one of the most precious things in existence for me 0ersonally. I would never willingly give them up

How do you expect to live anywhere without pollution of some sort? Move to Fantasy Land perhaps.

Nope. Technology rocks. Get out of my swim lane.
