Waste

Waste. So much of it. We live in a world where we produce so much more waste than we know what to do with it, seeing how landfills are essentially giant plots of land to fill our million pounds of trash - we are wasting land to dispose our other waste, while wasting time overall. But for what purpose? I don't think there is one, which seems to be more worrying than if there was. At least having a purpose allows for room for correction - how can you correct something if you do not even know what to correct? Or why to correct it? "The largest farms don't produce food at all, they grow feed" (Williams). Why is so much more food grown than needed? The root lies in capitalism, where in their eyes, the more the merrier. It's to the point where the excessiveness is hurting themselves, yet they still continue to mindlessly produce. It seems like all they care about is "saving the whales, [and] screwing the fish" (Williams). There's no clear cut answer to these problems, but all we can do is be more aware of the problems at hand and avoiding the worst outcome - not doing anything at all.
