We Should Go Back To The Old Days
Should we go back to the old days?.... Global Warming is a major problem... If we stop using cars for a week and everyone was allowed a week off work then think of how much of a difference it would make in only one week...!!! In the old days it was bikes and walking and the carriages and easier ways of life!!! WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY NOW!!!!! We shouldn't wait... We should go forwards not ignore!!!

 Um, no it wasn't Rosie. Human Rights have always been getting better, and the further back in time you go, the less lives were valued, hence why capital punishment was allowed.

 Life wasn't necessarily good. There were a lot more people living in poverty, for one thing, and disease was a lot more widespread. People had few of the luxuries which we have today and take for granted.

It isn't easy to turn the clock back but we should treat everything as recyclable.

It's too late society has become too advanced to turn back now, or we could face extinction.

You are assuming that if we stop using cars it will fix the problem and all the damage will be undone. That's not true with all the gases in the atmosphere blocking the light from going out we cant assume they will just go away. Yes bikes would be better then cars at this point in time but we can't fix the problem just by stopping the use of cars. Big factories produce a lot of pollution so to fix the problem your way we'd have to shut down all polluting factories, energy plants, and other polluting areas.

No. We need the technology used nowadays to do anything.

What we should do is leap ahead to the future and improve the technology so it leaves less of an imprint, not devolve our society.

Without technology, we couldn't have disaster warning systems for hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. We wouldn't have as efficient of a press. Our leaders wouldn't be able to communicate as much. There'd be a severe block on information due to lack of the internet.
