The End

People are like tanks, killing what’s around them and never stopping. People may try to interfere and get in the way of these tanks to stop the destruction but are only able to delay them. Behind that one tank that a person may try to stop is a whole army of tanks waiting to tear down what keeps them alive. The environment lies upon its deathbed.  Paul Kingsnorth, an English writer and environmentalist, wrote an article explaining that there is no solution to save the planet from what's happening. Climate change, pollution and mass killings of animals are only increasing. No matter how hard one tries to stop these disasters, there are unavoidably going to happen one day or the next. This doesn't mean that Kingsnorth is going to sit back and watch things happen. He takes action to preserve the environment, keeping in mind that there is no way to save it, because there is nothing else to do. In his article, Kingsnorth exhibits an attitude similar to Meursault’s. Meursault continues to live life and be happy, knowing that he is going to die one day or another. He says that after you're dead no one remembers you and it's like you were never there. Kingsnorth and Meursault have the same attitude because they understand that the world is not bound to their rules and wants and one day everything will vanish.
