Reflections

How blind, numb and unconcerned one has to be?

Every year it is reported that plastic waste pollutes our environment. The dimensions steadily increase and hazardous substances like brominated flame retardants are now a firm component of our daily food.

But there is one law of nature we cannot escape: “Who does not adapt, will die out!”

That applies also for a “Free Market Economy”:

All resources on earth are limited and major companies control energy, water and waste. The ongoing concentration in these markets is powered by guaranteed profit margins to be gained due to the dependence of countries, citizens and governments on these resources.

The oil price does not reflect the value of this finite resource but is used as a political instrument.
