And so here is another blog that may inspire thoughts.
In my environmental class, we learned a few things:
1). 2 Tablespoons of salt can kill a child under 1 year of age. Of course one may ask, when will a child eat 2 tablespoons of salt, but you never know.
2). There is only 3% of drinkable water on earth. Guess where 2% of the water is? That's right, it's FROZEN! So we live on 1% that mostly comes from underground.
And so let's not forget that the Earth does not give us infinite amount of the water, or nutrients. It will run out. Many animals are already extinct. So the question I ask is, why continue to kill everything off? Cutting trees, killing off seals because we say there are too many. what a crazy world...

People have a remarkable ability to find new resources and new ways of using old ones. We purify water; most cities take rainwater and sewage and treat it. It's almost certain that lots of the water that's in you right now has been a part of you before (see one of the recent editions of Discover magazine). Lumber industries re-plant trees on their land because otherwise, they'd have to buy more land, or there would be no trees, and no source of profit. Aluminum refineries pay you for your recycled aluminum because it's a cheap source. etc, etc. We try not to waste, because we know of the dangers.
Hm, I wish I had more statistics to show you, like a proper crusader of knowledge would :-(. I've encountered some spectacular ways in which businesses have to do their thing for the environment, but that's why I'm reading a few books on the environment, I guess. However, I have read several times that there are more acres of forest in North America now than there were when Columbus first stepped foot on it. hm. the search continues.

All the world's resources are finite. Unfortunatly, wasting them seems to be a favorite American pastime.

Um, okay. Like I said before, I learned this:
