The "Green Noise" article made human nature much more clearer for me to comprehend.

 

In my opinion, humans stubbornly fight change in all respects. For instance, aging, which is a completely natural process, is fought against with loads of cosmetics, botox and face peels. So, back to the green noise idea, humans were willing to grasp onto the environmentally-friendly lifestyle, but once things traveled to the grey area, people tuned out.

 

Can we change human nature? Well sure, I do think it can be done, but only with a simple cause and effect approach, which is unrealistic. In my limited experience of 18 years, people tend to be too comfortable in their current positions to want to sacrifice for a goal they can't yet see the benefits of in their lifetime.

 

It's too convenient for someone to just go through a McDonnalds' drive through than research the conflicting healthy living articles. This tendency to stay the same is what I believe is human nature and although I do think we could alter it globally, I think it would have to be very clear what the ultimate goal would be.
