creative destruction

"Food miles" is such an appropriate term. The agriculture system causes more pollution than any other system. Food miles refers to the amount of distance a food product travels before it reaches its destination, which is a great amount of time. He reports that food miles in a supermarket are 27 times more than the food miles in a local grocery. The food makes a 15 hundred mile journey before it reaches the consumer. This great amount of distance causes a great amount of greenhouse gases to be released into the environment. It requires the consumption of fossil fuels and at one point required the building of highways so they can be easily transported. Greenhouse gases are linked to causing climate change because they are released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned. To me, the quote "we are in an era of creative destruction" means that we have changed the way in which we define destruction. When one thinks of destruction, they think that bulldozers are involved or perhaps burning; destructions is a physical element breaking down a material to its elements. However, this creative deconstruction involves the use of technology. Thanks to our advancement in technology, we have developed a use for fossil fuels and inherently developed the deconstruction of the the ozone.
Do I feel personally responsible? We are all responsible. I can't say I have contributed. I use my air conditioner, I have left my lights on, I have thrown plastic bottles out in regular garbage among other things that waste energy. Do I feel personally responsible, you ask again because I never really answered. No, not personally. I feel my carbon foot print is quite smaller than others and therefore, I don't feel personally responsible for the destructions of the earth. However, I also feel that if there is going to be any change that everyone must participate. It is like when you have a group and each person must contribute their card to build the tower. If one person refuses to give their card, then the tower cannot be built.
