Houston – we have a problem…………
Our lovely blue and green planet is slowly being consumed. Over populated, over farmed, over fished, incessant deforestation, endless contamination and mindless human acts. Our mother earth is tired, she has almost given up. What on earth are we doing?
Earth may be bigger than many people can comprehend, but she is fragile. Her force is a delicate awareness of co-habitation. There is room on the planet for us humans to live as long as we do things right. At the moment, this is not so, therefore, mother earth will fight. We are like a parasite, dredging her of all her minerals, tunneling through her crust and damaging millions of years of evolution. We really don’t seem to care what we do and where we do it as long as WE get what WE want and at no expense.
No problem, rip those forests down, dam that river, exterminate undetermined species in the name of sport, we really don’t care………………….but we should!
We now must start thinking more seriously in a global amalgamation. No one Country can solely cure this disease called humanity. Act like a human being…………..well no, maybe not. For millennia we have been “acting like human beings” and look where its taken us? I for one am not proud of being classed as a human being, maybe its about time for a new name and with that a new global common sense.
I hope that within my Earthwatching blog that I can point out crucial points that we can all do simply and with a little effort maybe we can start turning things around for the best for us and mother earth.
