We Must Do More Now!
I feel that we are too complacent and wait for others to do something about problems that are facing us. The planet is in trouble and we are not doing enough to save our home. Many scholars are very sure that the very ice caps that supply us with fresh water and support many varied wildlife like the beautiful polar bears, are diminishing at a great rate. We continue to use our resources like there is a never ending supply. Well folk this is not true. Just look around. The Amazon forest is being denuded. The weather changes are changing the face of the landscape as we know it. We are losing a battle we have not yet begun to wage.
Some of you may remember the movie “Soylent Green” with Charlton Heston. It was set in a time when most of the world resources were gone and it left man with little food or other resources. We are not there yet. I feel that if we could look down the road we may turn a corner and be faced with problems we can no longer fix.
What can we do? We must recycle and that doesn’t just mean plastic bottles. We must stop being the throw away society. If you can’t use something and someone else can, DONATE IT! Don’t fill the land fills with perfectly good items you no longer want or need. Check the grocery shelves for products that are made from recycled goods. Go green! I am really sure that all the chemicals we use on a daily basis have a big effect on all the problems we are having with the increase of respiratory illnesses and the big jump in allergies.
Wake up! Everyday try to do something more to save our planet. She has been good to us. Let’s leave our children and grandchildren a healthy planet to live on! It’s the least we could do!
