Kill Earth (warnings heeded)

Back in the 90’s- I was taught at school about the ozone layer. (ohhhh. Back in my day ha...) Back in the day. Good Ol' Days etc... 

Teachers did their best. Some of mine were so good that I learnt and wanted to learn. Some were just barely functioning.

They used the available text books to state that it would be detrimental to earth if I were to use an aerosol can outdoors. Even back then, I found this odd. Why would any sane person waste their Lynx Africa? 

The ozone layer was taught to me. 

It was sold to me in lessons as a sheath around earth to protect life from the sun. I was taught that the sun provides life. I was taught that the sun is dangerous and so the ozone layer protects us. 

Then, I was taught that there were holes in the ozone layer. Holes! 

These areas were increasing due to the environment being corrupted by humans. These holes could not be darned or stitched.

 

I remember freaking the fuck out about this and questioning why aerosols were still readily legal. 

As a teen, I did not smell of Teen Spirit! Petrified of killing everyone I avoided more than 2 squirts of antiperspirant (global genocide spray). 

I was B-O for Earth. Hoping that body odour is not also methane!

17 years on from these lessons, learnt in geography classes at high school, it is wild to learn that earth is still DOOMED! 

Aerosols are still readily available on shop shelves, but the cause of Doomsday has shifted slightly…methane.  

Cows and livestock (and humans). Industrial farming. This is how cows are raised and then killed to feed people who want to eat a cow. Also for leather & other bits that can be created from cow gubbins.

Either way, the aerosol can is brutal, but grazing cattle is the bastion of an early, earthly suicide. 

Saying that, I remember that McDonalds was blamed for the destruction of the ozone layer in the 90’s. Not Burger King or Little Chef. Just McDonalds. Not Elf, BP, Shell or nuclear endeavours.

 

It was taught to me that the McDonald’s company bought rainforests just to chop them down! This was to allow more room for more cows to feed the ever-increasing lust of folks wishing to eat cows. 

Acid rain. Not the fun it sounds. Lucy in the sky with holes in its protective layer. Also, such weather is not as bleak as it sounds. It will not melt your home in the same way that sniffing cocaine will not wreck your nostrils. Not instantly, however inevitable over time.

 

*Quick quip* My schooling taught me that the ozone layer was/is important to protect life on earth from unwanted, potentially damaging ultraviolent light. Like a huge universal sheath. 

My schooling was heavily influenced by Roman Catholic dogma. Jesus was NOT crucified for you to simply please yourself and use a condom. They are abhorrent sheaths. Such a device is intended to prevent procreation whilst facilitating the reciprocation of pleasure. 

NO! 

God despises the avoidable spreading of diseases and hopes for children to be borne by any means; through broken sheathes, onto a polluted earth. Hates condoms. Probably hates the ozone layer (if it exists now in 2022) and whiffs of Lynx. Maybe a hint of Old Spice?

 

Back to the here and now. Right now! Our collective future is damned. Welcome back to the cheerful blog of optimistic observations!

Now the children of parents from the 90’s are the ones that will go without deodorant. Smelly teenagers are saving us all.

 

How else will earth be saved from the INEVITABLE?...
