The Amazon is home to different species and now many of them are gone forever, as humans have caused mass extinction and humans activities are causing these wildfires! Really disappointing!
Amazon is burning because the World eats so much meat! This is disturbing! The meat industry is very much responsible.
I don't how know some humans can even eat meat and sit at the table to eat while pretending to be civilized when they know that the Amazon, the trees, birds, fauna, etc is burning... yet they just don't care about the planet!
Only for the pleasure to eat a dead animal!! Really??
Because they have to kill the animals to eat.. It is seen to me that they are in the wild times of the past...
And, in your post also you wrote about materialist people, you are absolutely correct Greed is bad for your health and the world is full of them!
Science study the opposite of Greed is what is true leads humans to happiness... in fact, meditation upon Love and spreading kindness and caring about others has proven to stop aging and this is the true secret of the Fountain of Youth!
Materials come and go...
