Conclusion

The species Homo Sapiens has still many millions years to go. Maybe only those will survive in the future, who can live in a sustainable world, like the 'primitive' hunters and gatherers. However, those who have robbed the earth from all their non-renewable resources is doomed to become extinct. Is there still time to stop with this ravaging behavior? We must leave our homes, our cars, our factories, and all our luxury we have worked so hard for. My only hope is that there will be a collective wave of insight all over the world that we cannot go further on this path with a dead end. Who knows that this wave will spread with a lightning speed over the world? Until now we are thinking:

"Après nous le déluge" (translation: After us the deluge).

However, you never know how quick something can change. I frequently talk with people on this subject. Only a few are interested. The majority however does not want to be disturbed. "Don't confuse me with facts, I have made up my mind". They like to continue their way of living. The reason I have written this article is the hope I still have to people will contact me, in order to exchange thoughts and ideas on how we should react to the knowledge that our civilization is doomed to become extinct.
