    A similar situation about the salmon, happened to the codfish in the Atlantic. Canadians lost 30,000 jobs on the Eastern Seaboard of Canada. Fishery sources disappeared and fish processing plants were forced to shut down.

    I live on the west coast and I don't feel sorry for the fisherman at all. Let's talk truth for a minute. Overfishing was done decade after decade. The fishermen fought back every time when fishing reduction legislation (from California to Alaska) was proposed to save our fisheries for future generations. The fishermen won most of those battles but from this piece it's obvious that they just lost the war. Scientists told them they were overfishing and the fisheries will collapse if they don't stop but that didn't stop them. If we as a society are going to have a chance, start listening to the scientists and taking ACTION.

      This is very true when it comes to those fighting protected offshore fish habitat. Fishermen fought those efforts to create protected no-fishing zones. But those areas act like nurseries to increase breeding, and ultimately increase fish populations where they’ve been created.

Sometimes I see several on the same day, but i see it every time. This is how much people know and care about the planet. I do not think people will care until they CAN’T sit in their parked car with the motor running. And what do they buy at the grocery store? Unsustainable food-fish, meat, dairy.

Instead of walking to places within reasonable walking distance, we drive there instead, frequently just to get a few items that can be easily carried home. The average person could use a little exercise. You could go on and on and on about this kind of stuff. I don't understand how more people aren't aware of how stupid we've become as a society.

      YES!! People are always like, "Blame the big companies, not the individuals!" While yes, the big companies are to blame, they're only in business as long as they make money, and they only make money as long as people buy their product. Individuals in wealthy countries collectively WAY over-consume! People turn their AC units down to 70 when it's 95 degrees outside or up to 75 when it's 32 degrees outside, they buy out of season produce that needed to be shipped halfway across the world, buy fish that was wild caught and beef that produces methane, buy tons of new clothes (rather than thrift clothes) to "keep up with fashion", replace perfectly fine furniture with brand new furniture just because they want a change of looks, refuse to buy EVs or hybrids because "real mean drive trucks", and like you said, sit in their cars with the combustion engines running idle, etc., etc. Most people don't care. And that's the sad part. And that's why politicians don't care, and why the Earth will die.

      Its not that simple. Planting tree is good, I'm growing some now, but to exist we have to consume resources. Hunting and fishing is more sustainable than industrial agriculture or industrial animal agriculture but still it's not so simple because without industrial agriculture people would starve and if everyone hunted for themselves that couldn't be sustainable either. Even the technology we are using to watch this video and comment is the product of deforestation and honestly if one is not living an off grid lifestyle then we are complicit. It probably can be boiled down to just too many people I guess. Or civilization would have to fundamentally change to a communal gardening lifestyle but this won't happen on the scale of industrialism. I'm kind of a fatalist these days. Because you acknowledge the inertia of history and global movement will pursue its own course regardless.
      That being said population is expected to reach its peak very soon, as fertility rates are drastically dropping (which is a disturbing thing in of itself) and younger generations aren't as interested in having children as the older ones.
      Its like we can't treat the symptoms. The cause is the very industrial structure and aim of civilization in of itself. This has caused me to feel very profoundly confused and aimless, as I would like to live in a traditional agricultural community but the only places like that are communes. I just have to find the right one I guess

    Born in 1961, by the time I was of child bearing age, I knew that we were on a course to have too many people on this planet, and that we had to strive for zero population growth. I chose to only have 2 children. One to replace me, one to replace my husband. My current husband has no children nor do any of his 3 siblings. I have 2 grandchildren , and I am doubtful that they will have children. Only one of my children has children. Too many people think it is OK to have large families that they don't even have money to raise.

      I know that big corporations and politicians hold the keys to genuine change, but if/until we manage to get them to change their ways, I'm going to just keep on tending to my native pollinator garden and watch my personal carbon output. I know that not everyone has the resources to do this and I understand that and won't judge others for not doing what I'm doing, it's just something I do to give myself hope. And I'm sharing it with you in case it would be something that would make you feel better and more empowered if you also did it. I can make my own ecosystem to make life slightly less bad for local wildlife.

    And those who preach a 'population collapse' myth and want even more births.... these are economic fears that a smaller labor pool might force higher wages. Even if higher wages happen, this will result in couples deciding they now have money to have more children. And as CBS points out there aren't enough resources on the Earth to even bring China and India up to first level standard of living with their populations now, there are far too many people already.

      The vast majority of states are agricultural to some extent, including Washington. The difference is there is still wilderness in Washington while there is next to none in Missouri. Preservation and Hunting aren't mutually exclusive. Any environmentalist who isn't an idiot recognizes that things like deer hunts are neccasary for healthy environment considering we have killed off all the large predators. You shouldn't try and look at every issue in the US as "us vs them", we're all Americans and the only people who benefit from division among the common people are the ruling elites.

    • @nicklibby3784
      @nicklibby3784 17 дней назад +1

      Hahaha! As a Missourian, temporarily living in Washington state, you could not be more WRONG! *_Washington_* state produces *_MORE_* wheat 🌾, sweet Corn 🌽, 🍏 Apples 🍎, Lentils 🫘, Grapes 🍇, Wine 🍷, Hops 🍃, Cherries 🍒, Asparagus 🌿, Apricots 🍑, Potatoes 🥔 and more than Missouri does. And Washingtons corn is human corn, NOT the feed corn for animals Missouri mostly produces. 13% of Washingtons economy is Agriculture but still 3% of it's GDP (due to the many tech companies there, Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, Google, Meta, Oracle etc.)...... meanwhile Missouris economy, agriculture is only 4.4% of it's GDP and Missouri does NOT have anywhere near as big an economy outside of farming as Washington does. This means Washington is arguably just as big if not a BIGGER farming state than Missouri!!!! - Keep in mind Missouri is almost the SAME SIZE as Washington state geographically (Washington is only slightly bigger) and the population is almost the SAME TOO! (6.8 million in Missouri, and 7.7 million in Washington state).
      Washington is #2 in crop diversity only behind California. With 300+ different types of crops being grown due to the unique & diverse environment with consistently warm weather in winter where it stays above freezing in the 40s-50s on the west side + very long days of sunlight in summer statewide. This means longer growing seasons + easier grows.
      Washington is #1 in the country for Apple 🍎 🍏 production, accounting for 70% of ALL apples in the entire country.
      Washington is #1 in the country with hops 🍃 🍺🍻 production.
      Washington is #1 in the country for red raspberry 🍓 production. Accounting for 90% of ALL red raspberry in the USA!
      Washington is #1 in USA's Cherry 🍒 production (of the sweet varieties. And is #3 in sour/Tart variety). 25% of ALL cherries types 🍒 in the USA come from Washington state.
      Washington is #2 in the USA for grape 🍇 & wine 🍷 production, behind only California.
      Washington is #2 in Apricot 🍑production in USA
      Washington is #2 in the country for potato 🥔 production. (20% of ALL potatoes come from Washington. Compared to Idaho with 24%).
      Washington is #2 in Asparagus 🥒 production in USA.
      Washington is #3 for lentil 🫘production in the country.
      Washington is #3 in the country for sweet corn 🌽 production (the corn humans eat, not the feed corn for animals Missouri produces).
      Washington is #4 in the country for wheat 🌾 production.
      Washington is 4th highest in milk 🥛 🍼 production per cow 🐄 🐮 and 10th highest in total milk production in the USA.
      Agriculture accounts for around $51 billion of Washingtons economy. Actual production around $14 BILLION dollars. Meanwhile Missouri also produced around $14 billion dollars of agriculture. Washington has built a better economy around agriculture, making more money with it.
      Also the taxes helps agricultures economy in Washington state too, there is ZERO INCOME TAX (state & city), *_and_* ZERO TAXES ON GROCERIES!!! (The price you see at the store is the price you pay! NO TAX MATH NEEDED!!!)......Meanwhile Missouri has State AND City income taxes + grocery stores have SALES TAX + RETAIL TAX *_AND_* GROCERY TAX too when buying groceries......you get TRIPLE TAXED in Missouri when buying GROCERIES on top of potentially being TRIPLE TAXED on INCOME. So the government is slowly siphoning money off the agriculture economy.
      Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Missouri, it's my home, it's my FAVORITE STATE still, and I will be moving back there......BUT you are completely delusional about the current status of agriculture in Washington state vs. Missouri.
      Washington state is a much much MUCH BIGGER & BETTER farming state than Missouri is, in basically every single metric.

That said I know of plenty of religious people who care about leaving the planet better than they found it. Kind of rambling but my point is I wish more people thought beyond themselves.
