Can we just go back to our previous life? Why or why not? What long-term changes do you think we should make?
We can go back to our precious life; the question is how serious the consequences of that will be.
But however, we shouldn’t go back because we have to take responsibility for the future and family.
If we should go back or not also depends on how many people are willing to make some, not to big, sacrifices. We have to get everyone with us if we want it to be worth living this environmental life.
A long term change we are forced to make is, doing what’s best for the future and earth. As we live now, isn’t the ultimate way of living for our future and earth.
Why do many people feel the desire to go back to life as it was before the oil crisis?
I think that desire comes from our life being to convenient. We are used to our life, and we feel that changes are too complicated. We know about the consequences but we are too lazy and comfortable to go through with the changes.
One reason can also be that we don’t understand this oil crisis, the information we are receiving is way too complicated for the public to understand and relate to. It would be a lot easier to get everyone to continue living this environmental life if the information we are receiving was more simplistic.
