Please take a look at our YouTube music video about the consequences of China’s overproduction and its attendant results on consumers and the environment

I live right next to the fire picture that you are referring to in the “telegraph fire, what’s next” comment and I am insulted by your insinuation that we are not a green area and that we are not protecting the earth just because we live on or near the mountains. We have lived and respected the earth around us as do most of our neighbors. There are wind turbines and solar power. We have hundreds of trees on our property that we care for. Fire is natural to our area so we keep the land clear around the house. However, the problem with this fire is that we had not had any fires in the river canyon in over 20 years and the brush had become too overgrown and dangerous. It is wild and scenic area and is very isolated. The world’s problems are not caused by where I live, but are the result of too many people who choose to live in a plastic world where they have to have so much stuff. When I was evacuated and had to choose what to take, it was easy, family pictures, kid’s art work, and clothes. No stuff! Keep life simple, enjoy your family, friends, and the trees, birds, and deer.

You can’t both “live” there and “respect” nature at the same time. [The two notions are contradictory - see "cognitive dissonance!"]
“Fire is natural to our area so we keep the land clear around the house. However, the problem with this fire is that we had not had any fires in the river canyon in over 20 years and the brush had become too overgrown and dangerous.”
Guess you can’t second-guess wildfires, either!
“The world’s problems are not caused by where I live, but are the result of too many people who choose to live in a plastic world …”
Even if 1 percent of the population lived at the “edge” of wildlands, there wouldn’t be any of it left!
