Question

Why do people pollute if its going to kill them sooner or later?

Answer 1

Nobody can help it, having fun is what humans specialize in, even if it envolves polluting the Earth. We might as well enjoy life. We only have one.

Answer 2

Its called stuff. People like their stuff. Lets start the chain of stuff. Cars are made, but where? In factories, where the smokestacks are higher than the statue of liberty. How is said factory made? With construction vehicles, which have a good amount of exhaust coming out of the pipe. But how are they made? In more factories!! Do you see what I mean? People like cars. People like their stuff. IT just so happens that we enjoy those types of things!

Answer 3

Not all of the people pollute. Some of them are really trying to stop this! Not enough people care and they don't understand that their DOOM is near. They know that it is harming the Earth, but their view on things is 'I'll be dead before anything bad happens'. But the truth is that bad things are happening now. We need to stop this before it's too late, and yes, scientists say there will be a point in time when we cannot go back to the way we were before if we do not stop the bad habits of the human race. And let us not forget, we are not the only species living on Earth. We are sharing it with others that were here before us. We need to stop thinking about ourselves and save planet Earth! Hope I helped :).

Answer 4

disbelief and apathy

they never think its going to really actually happen

and certainly not in their lifetime

so they dont bother about it

its for the next generation or the next or one so far off they cant even begin to fathom

and also a lot of people think, why would what id do  make any difference anyway

not really accepting that eveyrone else often thinks like that too,

and so no-one is actually doing much about the issues because they expect someoen else to be dealing with it

Answer 5

Because they believe in "eat drink and be marry for tommorrow you shall die"...while as  on thinking about community, there life will be more smooth and peacefull

Answer 6

Well, Isn't some thing or another going to kill us sooner or later?

Some people just dont care, or think about the consequences of their actions.
