Mining might become a thing of the past one day, when people get tired of the destruction it causes and start prioritizing sustainability over resource extraction. The Governments that sell bauxite and refuse to think about the future of the people who are suffering after the air is polluted, the ecosystems are devastated, and communities are uprooted, should find new ways to earn. They could invest in renewable energy sources, promote eco-friendly alternatives, and create jobs in sectors that protect the environment rather than harm it. By focusing on innovation and sustainable practices, these governments can ensure a healthier landscape for future generations, demonstrating that economic growth can coexist with environmental stewardship.
Environmental Degradation and Livelihood
Food insecurity, air pollution, and water pollution are significant problems that countless countries are poised to confront as the detrimental effects of environmental degradation unfold. The destruction of our soil, a vital resource for agriculture, is accelerating these issues and threatening the livelihoods of millions. It is now more imperative than ever for every citizen to awaken to these pressing challenges and advocate for the environment through their voting choices. By supporting policies that prioritize sustainability, conservation, and responsible resource management, individuals can influence the trajectory of their communities and the planet. Engaging in this critical dialogue about the environment can foster a collective movement towards a healthier, more resilient future for generations to come.
Increased Recycling – Sustainable Job Creation
If citizens and Governments could make plans to increase recycling and decrease mining. We could begin heading in the right direction and the sustainable development goals could be achieved. What we see now, is politicians who leave the people out of their conversations when they go to make deals and decisions about the future. They only say what they think the people want to hear when it is time for them to be elected.
I wonder if people would vote for in the same way if they knew of the destruction caused by the policies these politicians create? Who wants to vote for the destruction of their food source? Do you think more should be done to educate populations about the future problems they will face if they keep on voting for leaders who make plans to destroy the environment? I didn’t vote in the last election in my country because I didn’t want to vote for environmental degradation. Do you think I made the right decision?
Conclusion and Call to Action
Can we afford to continue ignoring environmental degradation when it is not happening close to our homes? What if our food is being affected by it? What is farmers are losing the land they would normally plant on? What if the water you have in your home comes from a polluted place? I believe we need to think about these things and protect the environment because we are protecting not just our health, but the health of the people living close to the mines. When we begin caring for others we will have the sustainability we talk about now.
The environmental solutions we can use to make difference were simplified so everyone can use them each day. We can protect the planet and create new jobs for each other. Let us get empowered so we can stop voting for future destruction. Click on the buttons below to support the eco-kids book project in many ways.

Welcome 😊
What country are you located?
the little island Jamaica, you ask because you see the problem?
Yes, I’d like to discuss this with you a little later today. Would that be ok?
sure… I am trying to promote the solutions
I noticed that you mentioned mining as a problem in your country. Who (what country/government/ business) is paying for the mining and do you believe this to be a major issue?
I only know people who live in the are where mining takes place complain about their health issues caused by the red dust and the fish in the rivers die sometimes. The mining is currently being done by companies from 3 or 4 countries like the usa, Norway, Russia, and Jamaica
From what I gathered, Alcoa is the main producer in Jamaica. “Alcoa has ownership in seven active bauxite mines globally and operates four of them, making us among the world’s largest bauxite producer.”
Here’s the problem…when you write the words “sustainable” or other punch line words like “climate change”, those who are truly concerned about the environment get the wrong message. A message with these words is owned by organizations like Alcoa.
Understand what I am saying so far?
For me sustainable is all about thinking about plans that will lead us to environmental protection. decreased mining , more recycling, reusing and reducing. I know there are people who don’t want jobs to be created in a better or sustainable way but sustainability is what it is. Anything else is unsustainable and when people are left poor and polluted they will want the solution for pollution. I want them to have them now. Sustainability will protect the poor… Are you saying it won’t?
I am saying the political buzz words only feeds into more economic destruction.
Companies in the States use those words like sustainable to soothe over the mess behind the curtain. Go check out their website and then go take a look at all of the dying fish, sick people caused by their actions.
Understand?
Yes, they are really creating a problem because now people believe going green is just a scam. When environmental protection is the only plan we can use to have a future. What happens if the earth gets too hot for us to live on it? The rich say it is ok, they can live on water.
It’s imperative that those who truly believe in protecting the planet’s resources must avoid buzz words created by lobbying groups and the firms that cause the problem. It’s also imperative to expose the scam these groups are running.
The meaning of words are clear, it is just sad that a number of us don’t stop to check what is happening.
Those words are political buzz words for lobbyists and advertising agencies employed by companies such as Alcoa to use on the uninformed public.
If you want to “save the earth” you have to inform the public of the real problem….the companies that are causing this otherwise your articles become nothing more than an advertisement for the people you claim to detest.
I do hope you take the time to understand.
Thank you for your time.
God bless.

I believe we can build awareness about the solutions and the pollution at the same time. I am also writing about how we can learn to earn in new ways so we can begin having small businesses again.
I think there was far less pollution when businesses were small and there was far less crime too because we were busy employing each other. I hope I am right.
What do you think about my ideas?
