Those are good ideas but when I think of a place like Brazil for example people seem to get so worked up over the rainforest yet don't care so much about the quality of life about the people that live there even when the number of homicides there is pretty tragic. People cut down the forest and make cattle ranches to ease poverty so that they arent as desperate and thuggish. Sustainable jobs like picking macadamia nuts don't pay people enough to live decently. It's all very sad but just goes back to how the problem is the way that humans think and if there were a lot of people who experience self-realization they'd have a more gentle attitude but there are a lot of obstacles in sharing that such as the churches. bring it up with people and watch their response. Is the rainforest or the quality of life of people in a Brazilian slum more valuable? It's like a trick question. I think people have more empathy for the environment because it doesn't commit "sin" like people do. Yet at the same time I think most people would rather watch a tree burn than a person burn.
