My Current Thoughts

I thought I would just give my thoughts on a few issues that have been jumping around in my head:

The Everglades
Health issues and the environment
The incredible interconnected environment on earth

The Everglades, a huge and nutrient rich plot of water, ruined. I do not think this destruction is reversable. Efforts are under way to ameliorate the situation, but the waterways have been so developed and ruined by human development, agriculture and other things that hope is lost for restoring the area to its original greatness. I thought about the whole situation and realized that the whole world will soon be just like the Everglades, that is if changes are not made. The thought is frightening. I canonly begin to imagine a world where there is no water to drink, to food to eat, and the population of humans declines rapidly within a matter of months. That is silverscreen status drama.

I went to a lecture at a local university a few weeks ago and I cannot believe i did not mention it! It was about health issues linked to the enviroment. Whenlayed out in front of me, it becamse so clear and obvious. It is only logical to conclude that if we poison out enviroment we are poisoning ourselves. The human race must see this and change. A lot of the issues discussed were political, but I can definately understand the struggle with politics to change because politicians only think about the present and not the future and rarely understand the enviroment. Personally, I feel like it is wrong and an injustice to poison the enviroment because it is indirectly killing someone - just how I think and see it.

Lastly, I just wanted to express my facination with the interconnectivity of the enviroment - it facinates me. I goes to show that no matter what part of the enviroment that is being discussed it relates somehow to water. It is a good and bad thing, but it is not like we have a choice.
