The Message Heard Around the World

Everywhere you go the same message is repeated over and over. We have always been told that in order to succeed in life a person must do thier share of work. Generally the average person considers their average day to go something like this: wake up, go to work for approximatly eight hours, go home, kick back with the family, drink the occasional beer, and then go to sleep. We are even told that we should be glad that our culture allows us such a luxurious life. And, on top of all that, we have been told that there is no possible way to improve this system. Its almost as if this meaningless way of life has become human nature, and if it really is human nature then why are their so many people that are unhappy with it?
When given the choice of saving the world with the consequence of going into debt or making a fortune with the consequence of destroying the world, what do you think would happen? Until you are actually put into the situation it may be hard to answer, but companies such as the glass recycling center in Anchorage would rather not save the world. In fact, because glass was so costly to recycle they would just rather not do it. This not only slowly destroys the world, but also sets a bad example for those growing up in the anchorage community.
