Do you also feel like you're wasting planet's resources?

[DerTod]

I keep having this feeling that i waste this planet's resources with my presence here. Do any of you feel the same? Every time i see the garbage bag getting full i get angry because i'm contributing to waste. I thought about getting into drawing but it's such a huge waste of resources just so i can express my feelings so i didn't. When i go to the supermarket i get depressed especially when i see families with small children buying all sorts of crap that they're gonna use once/twice and throw it away....Heck i guess i'm really really depressed.

I don't feel like I am, I know I am. And I'll continue to do so as long as I'm alive. I can't care enough to actually try to do anything differently.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

No, not really this. No more than anyone else is.

 

[needforvoid_]

No, everybody does, I'm just 1/7900000000, get into drawing.
With that being said, I hate unnecessary waste.
But expressing your feelings is important.

 

[katniss1209]

I feel that way everyday. I don't even want to be here anymore yet I waste resources daily. I'm vegan and trying to be a minimalist but I still feel guilty every time I use electricity or turn on the faucet to get water. I'm just really ready to go.

Drop in the bucket

No, even I'm just a grain of sand in the middle of the desert, who really destroys the planet are factory owners, and I would never give up my life for other people fck them

 

[CiproKilledMe]

Yes, I think about this all of the time. Since I became disabled I only take from the earth and give nothing back. At least I no longer drive or travel in any capacity so my carbon footprint is drastically reduced. And I don't eat meat. But if I'm totally honest, the earth would be better off without me leeching off of it (true fact/not just depression talking).

 

[WorthlessTrash]

I mean I leech off of society by accepting SSI (for a mental disability that is not depression) and will not get a job or go to school in protest for how I was born, so yeah. Me living doesn't benefit society at all so all the more reason for society to let me off myself.

 

[Smart No More]

We're all impacting the planet somehow and its more than necessary. Assuming we're each just a small part so fuck it is really a big part of the issue. Companies will always make the shit if we keep buying it or eating it.

If you feel guilty do something about it.


Drawing doese have to be a wasteful process. You can do it on a computer with a tablet. It's no more wasteful than browsing the internet. Doing it with paper and lead isn't even resource heavy. Sketchbook and pencil is all you really need. You can use a lead holder made of metal or a refillable pencil. Recycle the paper you chose to throw away.

I am wasting my time and patience living here anymore.

Same. Even with the drawing. So many dead trees and wasted money. I save junk mail sometimes and primer it to paint on which makes me feel a bit better.

If you have a decent pc or tablet, you can do digital art, which would reduce one kind of waste. I don't, but only because I'm only interested in traditional.

I'll even justify my not showering with "saving water". It isn't good to think of yourself as less worthy like that, though. If they can have it, so can we.

I HATE waste of any kind, and it definitely weighs on my mind, whether it's rational or not. Waste is part of the process, no matter what it is. You can reduce, but never entirely eliminate. I call it "cost of learning".

 

[Insomniac]

much less than most people because I don't go out of my house.

 

[loststar]

Its part of the reason i went vegan. Try and keep my suffering and waste limited to me

 

[Talvikki]

These assholes are responsible

hell yeah. Because of my diseases i cant work so i get money from the government. A total waste to keep me alive with tax money from working people. They should help me to cbt and safe their money lol

 

[Ness]

Every bit of oxygen I breathe, all the money I use, my student spot in Uni, all of this could have gone to someone that'll be here in the future, someone that'll use it. Instead it's all wasted on me. So yeah, I get it.

 

[stupid little girl]

Omg yes. Every time I make an unnecessary purchase, get fast food, ask for something I want but don't need, etc. I feel guilty about it a lot sometimes. I try to buy things I need/will use multiple times, but it's so hard to be the least wasteful as possible.

 

[Judy Garland]

No

I could've written that. I'm exactly the same

 

[Forever Sleep]

Yes, I feel exactly this when I fill up rubbish bags. I'm creative as part of my job too and there is a lot of waste. I do try to recycle and I do hoard everything I can (not a great trait either) but yeah- it all feels like such a harmful waste...

Still- I try to comfort myself with the following thought- that I didn't choose to exist- that given the choice, I wouldn't exist. That I'll try to do better and waste less but if there is a God/All Mighty Force- I'm ready when they are...

 

[NothingElseMatters]

on the contraire, i'm too good for this shit
