its time for you to ACT

By now, whether from the news or the media, you should be quite informed to a extent about the problems between mankind and the Planet. Let’s take the infamous global warming issue that has become a plague to many.

is it REAL?

what SHOULD be done about it?

can I do anything?

There’s countless questions that slide off the main issue of global warming. Now it, shouldn’t be that way. Often people are saying that global warming isn’t real and even if it is real that humankind’s activities aren’t the major cause of the, better termed, climate change that Earth is currently facing. Well that’s not right, to consider the issue of climate change pointless and unimportant. Now in present times there is so much information that advocates for the awareness of climate change and fully supports the fact that it is caused extensively by humans.

An specific example of such a source would be the book “wild earth” that pushes for better management of national forests and stresses the idea that it is these forest’s that are the foundation of ecosystems. It hits the new age idea that what humans do does have a massive impact on the ecosystems surrounding it. It gives a haunting example that what humans simply eat is a major impact on the world. Think about it. At the end of your life you’ve must’ve eaten so much food! Now it’s not telling any of us to be anorexic or create eating-disorders. It simply states the truth, that humans use so much resources to produce things we often discard away. Obviously food is important to us all, but is all the other useless things we buy so important?

Basically what the point is that we need to help the environment. That’s completely what my blog is about. It’s not okay for us to only care about ourselves and be so selfish as a species. We need to come together and see that the devastation we have created needs to end. The human species needs to care for the other species of the planet and the ecosystems that sustain them and most definitely us. If you can just think how huge of a impact your having on Earth (which is your only home) and see your just a single person that is having that impact than compare that to the billions of others like you and you’ll see what humans are doing to the planet. Were no better than the planet

we weren’t thousands of years ago,

we weren’t with the industrialization of society,

and we sure aren’t now. It’s our duty and just the right thing to do to help save the planet.

The Planet and us

Well, I’am blogging about the conservation of the natural enviroment.  Or in other words, about saving our only planet Earth.  I’ve become very passionate about the treatment of the environment, and how we should move toward a more positive outlook for the enviroment.  My blog concerns major issues plagueing the world’s lifestyle, such as climate change, rain forest destruction, loss of biodiversity and sustainable living.  This is an improtant to me.  Since, Earth is the only home we’ve currently got.  It’s so important and unique compared to the other planet’s.  It’s shameful that people feel no need to care for this wonder of the universe.  I’am not going to just preach about saving the planet.  Infact, I’am planning to look at both sides of various issues (environmentalists and prohuman living) and find a compromise that meets the needs of both sides and builds a sustainable relationship between the humankind and the brillant Earth that fostered us.  This blog won’t be just all talk and only tangents.  It’s going to actually tackle issues were currently facing and even if a perfect solution isn’t produced.  I’ll have at least tried and done something rather than done nothing.  My opinion is different from the countless others of the world because I’am not just speaking my voice but listening to others and trying to build a bridge between our ideas and find a common ground.  In really simple words, I’am just trying really hard to actually do something good and want to hear different opinions so that we can work together and find a permanent solution to the current issues we face.
