you cannot blame the "elite corporations" and say the rest is guilt free
who keeps the corporation alive?
consumers, all of us
name any big corporation that would not bankrupt in a day if everyone in the world boycotted it's products
none
corporations exists because we allow them to exist
lets face it, most people are more concerned about getting the new iphone than feeding a starving child in africa.

Wake up from your dream world.
I'm afraid there isn't. Current figures say that all the WORLD population, including the couple billions of Chinese and Hindus, would fit in only one big city. And let the whole rest of the Earth virgin.
there is a massive problem with over population.
I see it in my own country where I live.
The population has grown by 10 million in 15 years - immigrants and their off spring fleeing areas of the world that can no longer sustain them.
Now we are going to have free medical care taken away, the roads are grid locked, low pay is de rigour etc etc .
Tell the elephants, tigers, deer, great apes that humans are not murdering them due to over population.
Check out the water supplies and future wars that are likely to be caused by shortages.
It is very very very ignorant to stick your head in the sand.

over population depletes resources - causes, wars/ famine, destitution results - then mass immigration.
Civilisation is NOT the cancer - over population is...

if we could just overcome selfishness and greediness
too bad that it seems we become more selfish and greedy every generation

of course corporations won't spend their money on saving earth, they are corporations made to create profit
they are a business designed to earn money
if corporations were more concerned about helping earth, they would bankrupt very quickly
leaving thousands unemployed

So, this destroying a larger part of humanity is not really the Georgia's guidestone idea. It's a Christian concept.
Now, some people might say NWO and Christianity are one and the same based on the reference that believers at some point will "rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots, even as I myself have received authority from my Father"

Not all of us. I applaud your position on this thread.
The 'anti-human' cause goes back a long way and has worn many masks.
I suggest some here go away and read 'Merchants of Despair' by Robert Zubrin. Its enlightening.
Wanting to look after our ecosystem is sensible, much in the same way it pays not to set your life boat on fire.
However this sensible idea has been deliberately perverted. We are a long way from having more people than the planet can stand. Its not about the numbers. Its about what those numbers are doing.

There is plenty of water, it is just badly distributed - and those who own these resources want to keep them badly distributed, or else they'll got bankrupt.
The same reason why bankers don't distributes free golden bouillons.

Coming Water Crisis That Will Change The Lives Of Every Person On The Planet
By Michael, on March 4th, 2013
The world is rapidly running out of clean water. Some of the largest lakes and rivers on the globe are being depleted at a very frightening pace, and many of the most important underground aquifers that we depend on to irrigate our crops will soon be gone. At this point, approximately 40 percent of the entire population of the planet has little or no access to clean water, and it is being projected that by 2025 two-thirds of humanity will live in "water-stressed" areas.
But most Americans are not too concerned about all of this because they assume that North America has more fresh water than anyone else does. And actually they would be right about that, but the truth is that even North America is rapidly running out of water and it is going to change all of our lives.
Today, the most important underground water source in America, the Ogallala Aquifer, is rapidly running dry. The most important lake in the western United States, Lake Mead, is rapidly running dry. The most important river in the western United States, the Colorado River, is rapidly running dry.
Putting our heads in the sand and pretending that we are not on the verge of an absolutely horrific water crisis is not going to make it go away. Without water, you cannot grow crops, you cannot raise livestock and you cannot support modern cities. As this global water crisis gets worse, it is going to affect every single man, woman and child on the planet.
Water covers approximately 70 percent of the Earth's surface, but less than 1 percent of that is available for human use.
The world must share this small amount for agricultural, domestic, commercial, industrial, and environmental needs. Across the globe, water consumption has tripled in the last 50 years.
Managing the supply and availability of water is one of the most critical natural resource issues facing the United States and the world

Yes, the blame goes to the Elite and the Corporations. Given the choice between petroleum or electric cars, everyone will choose electric cars. Yet, they continue to dig for petroleum.
Between solar cooker or coal, everyone would choose solar cooker. Yet, the corporations continues mining for coal.
As for us continuing to buy from them, are we really to blame? The Elite and the Corporations controls ALL products, from bread to water, from pastas to milk, from wood to steel, from refrigarator to bed, from tent to houses. What choice do you have? Buy your necesseties or starve to death and have no shelter? Then, you're thinking about seeds. I'll agree with you, wouldn't it be for two things.
A): there's hundreds of regulations that prevent you from producing food; and
B): In the US and in countries who import their seeds from US, the Monsanto Corporation took control of the seeds. It controls most farmers, and created hybrids seeds. The "magic" with theses seeds, is that the plants grown from them are sterile. So, each years, you have to buy new seeds.
It's not that we let the corporations exists, it's that we have absolute no choice. Does that makes us a cancer and worthy of being exterminated?
And people around the worlds gives their money to help the childs in Africa. Since 30 years!! Nothing happens. Why? Because the money passes first by the african government, and it's them that takes instead the money. Remember when Celine Dion gave millions to help Louisiana, and that Bush put it in his pockets? The same thing happens in Africa. Or, even worse, remember when the corporations forbid to cultivate peas in Africa, although it would've ended starvation once and for all?
Again, are WE, the poor and yet still trying to help humans, the cancer, or it's the corporations and the Elite that is? Are the victims to be blamed instead of their persecutors?

The ironic thing about this post is that all these people claim there is no overpopulation and the problems are just caused by corporations, when the only reason we have all these giant corporations is because we have so many people.
If we had smaller, more self sufficient populations there would be far less corporations and they would have much less power than they do now.

As the above author of the article notes - once the water from the aquifers has gone - it has gone !!!!!!!!!!

Read about the subject that you profess to be an expert in - particularly fresh water shortages, reserves that have taken millions of years to build up are almost diminished in certain underground reservoirs, particularly underneath America, Colorado river, Great Lakes,beneath the Indian sub continent, China etc.
