human will vs garbage

Ecology vs Economy.  The heavyweight bout of our lifetimes.  Will there be a clear winner?  Will the referee declare a TKO?  Is the referee paying attention or just hanging out waiting for a paycheck? 

Can greed triumph over mother nature?  In the long run we cannot kill the planet.   We may overload our backyard with our own wastes, and poison ourselves, but the Earth still spins in space.  Life will continue.

Our emotional mind rules our actions most of the time.  Our intellectual mind occasionally wins one.  We must pick our battles carefully if the intelligent solution is to prevail.  The sooner we pick them the less mess there will be to clean up.
