What will happen to our planet?

As the days go by and no end in site for the oil spill gusher, I'm wondering if this spill will have international effects soon. It's so sad, all the poor creatures being killed by this muck and the human lives it cost and human livelihoods it has cost. While we all feel frustrated and angry, can we really point our fingers at anybody? We are ALL to blame. The demand for oil is so great that oil companies are willing to drill in ecologically delicate areas. This is all driven by greed. We are greedy because we think we can just hop into our cars to go to the corner store. A lot of us are still not carpooling. Our obsession and addiction to oil doesn't just end with cars and vehicles. Look around you, nearly everything you have in your house, cleaning supplies, makeup, the floors, the computer, your cell phone your ipods, anything made from plastic comes from petroleum. We and I mean me and you, consume tons of petroleum made products everyday. From the packaging of our foods in the grocery store, to shampoos, brushes, toothpaste, etc. you name it, it probably has petroleum in it somewhere. I've been thinking over this last month, (yes it's been a month and will be two months on the 20th of June) just what we could do different if they ever find a way to shut the gusher off. It's so sad that America
the country that sent man to the moon, now can't shut off an oil well. One group of people that comes to my mind that DON'T use petroleum products at all (unless in their oil lamps) is the Amish people. Yes their ways seem quaint to us, but look at them. They are self sufficient and tight knit families and neighbors, they help each other out and they grow their own food. Their transportation is horse and buggy, but whats really wrong with that?? At least the only pollution may be "road apples"!! Which are biodegradable. If these people can live harmoniously without damaging the environment, WHY CAN'T WE? Because we think we HAVE to have this and HAVE to have that and we HAVE to go there, etc. etc. These people don't give a hoot about the modern world, they have no need for electricity, or assistance from the outside world. They are probably one of the most environmentally conservative people on the planet right now except for maybe some tribes of peoples on a remote island somewhere. We need to rethink our way of life. Although many of us don't want to be exactly like the Amish (although I don't see anything bad in their way of life) we can try and be more like them and more self sufficient and reduce our demand for electricity and petroleum products. The less demand there is for it, the less they have to keep drilling offshore. But alas, I feel that our world has become too greedy and many of the so-called "well to do" people are NOT going to change their way of life, even if it means destroying our dear planet. And where will these people go when our planet is dying? Well, actually, they will die with the rest of us unless they can somehow leave the planet in a rocket bound for.........where???
I hope we can stop the spill before our planet is totally damaged beyond repair. I read Chapter 8 in the Bible in Revelations. I normally don't like to thump the Bible at anybody, but I couldn't help but be stunned by what I read. The description in Chapter 8 of Revelations is so incredibly close to what is happening now, mentioning that all the creatures of the seas would die and the "earth would bleed". It also mentions the burning star or some object called "Wormwood" would hit the earth set it on fire! How easily that could happen if our oceans are covered in oil. Something to seriously think about. What can we do now. Not sure there is anything but to pray for a solution to this disaster. Pray hard, day and night. And if they do get it resolved, let us make a resolve to change our way of life, or maybe we will be forced to do it. God bless us all.
