Are you listening?

I frequently find myself trying to talk about enviromental problems in casual conversation with my friends, parents, and whomever. I describe the problems and no matter how terrible the statistics are or how badly a situation is, no one seems to care. If I told someone that if a certain change must be made for the human race to survive another year otherwise we will all be dead, they would nod and just say "wow, that's bad;" yes it is bad. No seems to care. It is frustrating. How will the human race change in time, my guess is that the reality of the situation as a whole is that enviromental concern will only develope through generations of people because not everyone gets the enviromental education I am getting. By then will it be too late? I think so. So, what is the situation? Laws do not seem to do enough, people do not seem to do anything on their own, where do we go from here. I am tired of the world ignoring the problems. People of the world, our one and only house is catching fire and is about to burn down, go get some buckets of water and put it out! Are you listening?

Water and Haiti

Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. As a developing country, especially one in the Caribean, water is an issue for the natives every day. In the Caribbean, since water is so scarce and valuable, there are actual water black markets in which water is sold from underground corrupt and sometimes perverted groups of mostly men who use water as a way to gain social power. Now, things and Haiti have changed and it is worse. Fiji has donated an incredible amount of water to the efforts in Haiti. Other organizations are also putting some of the money they recieve towards water, obviously among other needs that are necessary. Be sure to keep the people of Haiti in your mind when you are taking a shower, washing dishes, etc. Because there are people in the world right now who do not have access to a single drop.

This video is scary.

Just an open ended statment from me:

Right now countries go to war with each other for crude oil, this is a widely known and accepted fact. Just think, within the next fifteen years, wars will break out over a human's most basic need: water.

Quotes:

"The war in Iraq will look like child's play"

"2/3rds of the world will have a water crisis"

The havoc that will break out over this chemical compound which most feel is incredibly abundant will be more intense than ever before. This is no joke - this will happen.
