nature has rights too!

I've recently gotten into the "go green" movement. Composting, recycling, solar/renewable energy sources, the whole deal. I've been watching so many documentaries lately, and reading so many books on the subject, that I can't believe people who have been here a lot longer than me have not already begun to realize and change their habits. Politicians upset me the most. I know that some do actually attempt (at least I'm hoping) to change our impact on the Earth. The others though, only collect money from oil companies and continue to extend bills already passed to stop chemicals and got knows what else from damaging mother nature even more! If we protect our basic human rights, why not the rights of the only reason we're alive to begin with? And not to mention, being natural (eating natural, using natural products, recycling instead of garbage, composting, etc) has never been in the newspapers for possibly causing some new form of cancer. I understand that it's a convenience to do the things we do, and it does take time to change, but who is trying to change? And even worse, who is stopping change from happening! This could be completely untrue, but I heard that someone actually invented a car that could run on water, years and years ago, but they were bought out by a car company who was friends with the oil guys. I also heard that a car was designed to literally last a lifetime, but another big industry giant who produced car parts came along and bought the idea, and buried it below a heavy stack of papers (that were probably never recycled! haha) The point is, we CAN change. We should change. Global warming isn't a "i believe" or "don't believe" sort of matter. It is real. As real as the dinosaurs that roamed the Earth 20394059 years ago, as real as the $4 gas you're buying, as real as real gets. People and companies are holding us back, and we need to start fighting back. The economy runs based on needs and wants, we need nature, but we need to want it as well.
