All species, including the human species, are at risk of demise because of human greed and destruction of the natural world. We need to start doing business differently because the status quo is not acceptable to the long term survival of the planet. Governments need to lead the way for the benefit of their populations and not be influenced by individual self-interest groups. However, Individuals need to change their views and start realizing that each person must take responsibility for their own actions in preserving the environment. They need to become better educated about how their actions affect the environment and vote with their dollars in deciding what purchases to make, from cleaning products to the cars they drive. As I get older I realize it's not just up to government to solve every problem. It's up to each person to take care of their environment, their children, their elderly, and their neighbours, and to let governments know what is expected. However, Governments and Insurance companies should not be relied upon. The grassroots level is where the biggest changes come from. I think there are way bigger issues at play than just species at risk. If some of the larger issues, ie. climate change related, can be addressed at both small and large scales, that will help species at risk. We all as individuals need to start reevaluating what we need to do to protect our environment, and therefore, ourselves and future generations. I appreciate this opportunity to share my thoughts.
