The Dodo is a symbol of greed, destruction, and mankind’s impact on the environment. Hunted into extinction in the 17th century modern man tuts at the recklessness of our pioneering forefathers. I wonder if 27th century man will still see the Dodo as a symbol of extinction, or if by then the flightless bird will even be mentioned alongside the endless loss of species, landscape, culture, ethnic groups, cities, towns, large geographical regions, and countless more micro environments on the brink of annihilation. I wonder will 27th century man look back and tut at our recklessness. Global warming is happening and we have to start acting responsibly. We have to take individual responsibility until our entire culture adopts a better waste management lifestyle. We need to move towards sourcing renewable energies, incorporating higher carbon taxes, and imposing trade tariffs on global offenders.
