Some imagine that Nature has taken back its rights: we see critters everywhere. The proof: here are photos taken in town of animals who shyly venture near our trash cans. There a squirrel, there a wild boar, there a doe... Incredible! However, I testify after having lived in the countryside all my youth in the post-war years, in France of yesteryear, that this abundance of animal and plant species is illusory. I have also crossed France and Spain dozens of times without seeing a single living animal for years, not even a crushed hedgehog, nothing.
I admit that, I am apolitical: my only political party is nature and little birds. My main regret is not the excessive price of diesel / fuel oil but it is that nature is mistreated and exhausted: the forests cut in Germany to extract lignite after the abandonment of nuclear power, the Amazon rain forest ravaged in Brazil to cultivate soybeans and primary forests felled in Africa, Asia and Oceania for precious woods and oil palm crops, the extermination for example of the flora and fauna of the islands of Madagascar, Borneo and Sumatra transformed partly in rocky deserts in less than 50 years... The whole Earth has become a gigantic slaughterhouse where every day succumbs billions of farmed or wild animals and even more marine animals caught in the nets - up to exhaustion of so-called "natural resources", this is how we sum up "3.8 billion years of evolution from the first single-celled organisms" out of stupidity or ignorance... No, please, stop! # SOS-GiletVert.
Mentally retarded people worthy of the Middle Ages, politicians, scientists and industrialists claim to reasonably organize the exploitation of these natural resources at our service since, of course, the Earth revolves around Man!
So, I'm looking for a religion or a prophet who tells us: now, that's enough! But it's the big void ... There, I can really speak of an international conspiracy against the living. However, animals should be unanimous because these poor animals do not claim any nationality or the right to the soil, only the right to live.
I am also looking for a philosopher who organizes the world in a philosophy respectful of Nature (reduced a little too easily to only "environment"), but I find only small selfish and harmful teachers, meaty Enthoven, trans-humanist Ferry and pretentious Onfray etc., and so on and better. Of course, Socrates, Kant, Bergson or Sartre were not trying to protect the living and save the planet: well lit, they were disconnected from reality.
And then, I understood at an advanced age that philosophy does not speak to humanity in general but only to minorities of intellectuals who brew concepts like the fans uselessly brew the hot air of the heat wave, for us give the illusion of freshness. Ecology must not become a system of philosophical thought (for example the ecosophy of Michel Onfray: "We no longer know how to look, nor feel, taste, touch, listen ... we must become wild") since Nature can be experienced directly by us, the people, and first of all as a beneficial return to the sources of our humanity. No, you don't have to go back to Spinoza or Nietzsche to feel its benefits, that of clean air filled with the rustling of leaves and birdsong. What is needed is to restore an old balance: in England, city dwellers are breaking up concrete, asphalt and bitumen so that water seeps into the ground instead of running off to become devastating torrents. The water captured by the earth cools the air like perspiration on human skin in summer. What could be more natural and beneficial?
I see in replay the adventures of Bear Grylls, a former special forces soldier voluntarily placed in a wild environment in order to teach us his survival techniques. This "survivalist" travels for example ten thousand kilometers by plane, is dropped by parachute in a desert area, digs at the foot of a rock to find water and there, he discovers in the shade a small lonely frog that he hastens to bite into with a grimace of extreme disgust: "you have to know how to take advantage of the little animals that swarm everywhere to survive!". Alas, this little frog was the only one of its kind, surviving in a hostile environment. Strictly speaking, it is this little surviving frog that should have devoured this big idiot of Bear Grylls, considering that the human species counts billions of individuals. We know that in this way the Australians exterminated the Dodos. More recently, falsely shipwrecked people in a game show roasted flightless Puffins in front of millions of viewers, large, clumsy, flightless, nesting birds in burrows and endangered. And what about the bats and pangolins that the Chinese devour?
I tell myself that there is nothing worse than systematizing nature as an "inexhaustible natural resource" and explaining animal life by "the reason of the strongest" (to parody La Fontaine) because the last observations reveal that interspecies cooperation also dates back billions of years, when Nature still knew nothing about the invasive human species and the banknotes it exchanges in society.
In fact, when the animals are reduced to devouring each other until the last one or when they come to eat in our trash cans, it is that their natural space is reduced to little. In Paris, I do not see any animal walking for hours on the asphalt of pavements and sidewalks. A dog poop abandoned on the ground costs his owner a PV of 65 euros. Above all, I saw terrible crows devouring small animals alive: mice, small rats and pigeons which come, hungry, to stock up on public trash in the evening. No, nothing to do with the nature of past centuries, and a multitude of extinct animals that shared our habitat by resisting the invasion of their territory.
Afterwards, no philosopher, no politician, no industrialist, no citizen can justify exterminating primitive life (described as savage and dangerous), that which preceded all our businesses and our genetic manipulations.
Yes, any frenzied exploitation of Nature, scientifically and mechanically, is criminal: uprooting the soil, replacing primitive forests with "species that can be marketed quickly", organizing monocultures and encouraging agrochemicals as in Brazil are causing planetary disasters that affect climates. Industrial and mining devastation, including the extraction of coal, oil and uranium are rampant, which get carried away with the grip of the great powers and their multinationals. Even "sustainable fishing" is no more than a lie if it does not drastically reduce the catch of marine animals. As for hunters, they admit in varying proportions the taste for play, sporting challenge and "bush meat", delicate flesh as much as venison, the expectation of profit and above all the instinct of murder as ancestral and medieval motivations to shoot down with rifles (and sniper rifles if necessary!) or to shamefully trap animal species, rapidly on the verge of extinction.
I tell myself that nature will win in the gardens of France when each of us can try with love to cultivate our vegetables and to raise some animals which are not destined to end their lives brutally in slaughterhouses.
I tell myself that each peasant will gain the respect of his fellow citizens when breeders and cultivators abandon the devastating methods of big production with GMOs, hormones, fertilizers and pesticides. So we will all come to their farms with confidence to buy our food directly there, without going through the multinationals of distribution which capture almost all the profits, with the prices of the stock market to dictate the prices.
I tell myself that each mayor of France must open a "farm school" in his commune which serves as a model for an agriculture which finally respects "the environment and the beauty of our countryside": it is only a question of discernment and will. And the most obvious is that there is no need to play politics to try to do good: Greta Thunberg is the perfect example, the schoolgirl who announces the children's revolt and the victory of the people against our helpless and lying leaders.
The respected nature is beautiful which can regenerate itself after the wounds we inflict on it. Unfortunately, the levels of destruction achieved are often irrecoverable.
Despite all these warnings, the large industrial groups insist on using agrochemistry, described as "a reasoned chemistry" (heir to the reasoned agriculture of the "Thirty Glorious"). Now, they make us believe in "neutral pesticides" which do not accumulate in plants, soil and do not trickle into water. Unbelievable ! And when they produce tons of carbon dioxide and methane, they claim by different ploys to "a neutral balance". Do they take us for idiots?
I tell myself that Nature is the beginning and the end of humanity and that if we love our plants and our animals without massacring them en masse, they will make us more human every day. So, we will be grateful to this prodigious nature (which uses the heat of the ground and the sun to develop, ie geothermal energy and solar energy) and we will feel surrounded by its benefits: will truly begin the green revolution, so that everyone of us, in exchange for his efforts and his little renunciations, finds to eat healthy and to be satisfied.
But our scientists, assisted by small thought teachers like Michel Onfray or Luc Ferry, only speak of the third industrial revolution and artificial intelligence (expert systems) to spice up their unnecessary presentations.
Luc Ferry judges that "the philosophies of degrowth are a backward step", which means that the industrialists will accelerate the destruction of the planet and that they will refuse to pay for their depredations: devastation of lands and forests, pollution of air and water, concreting of the land and plasticization of the living, multiple massacres by armaments, contaminations and road accidents mainly, enslavement of the populations, destruction of the natural wealth forcing the populations to exile, melting glaciers and rising sea levels by several meters, unbearable global warming and the death of native species ... Refuse degrowth and organize industrial impunity in the name of "forced progress" by Luc Ferry and "progressivism" of Emmanuel Macron is therefore simply criminal and aberrant.
On the contrary, in the midst of rediscovered nature, men would no longer be obsessed with overproduction, the domination of others and the devouring of the living: a true spiritual evolution would begin, the one that I have been calling for since my childhood, when I was called an idiot because I didn't speak but my head was full of dreams and I didn't change.
Today I dream of putting on a fluorescent "green vest" in the middle of road traffic and holding up a sign saying:
Be more human ...
Give us clean air
Give us life
Give us back our white sand trails and our green hills
Give us back our trefoil paths and our butterfly flights
Give us back our bumblebees and our grasshoppers
Give us back our juicy blackberries and cherries
Give us back our scented woods and our fern trails
Give us back our multicolored wildflower meadows
Give us back our lizards and crickets
Give us our confident rabbits in front of their burrows
Give us back our dream cows near the fences and in the shade of the hedges
Give us back our bird nests and their noisy broods
Give us back our dead trees and their old inhabited stumps
Give us back our little micaceous stones and our rocks to sit down
Give us back our fearful snakes and our golden beetles
Give us back our toads, our dead leaves and our mushrooms
Give us back our hedgehogs who fearlessly cross small country roads
Give us back our leaping deer
Give us back beautiful nature!
Give us our contemplative walks
Give us back our dazzled senses
Give us back our little old men leaning over past centuries ...
And hide your cars which are rolling while threatening us in their blind race, ready to crush us between a howl of a tire and a big ... "What, it's not my fault!".
I admit that, I am apolitical: my only political party is nature and little birds.
