Tears from the Earth

The place we call home is dying.

Righting the wrong on the Earth

There was a time not too long ago that the people of the Earth lived in harmony and balance with this world. There were not so many people living on the world as many folks hardly lived beyond their 40s. But in the past few hundred years, there has been an explosion in the world's population, people are living longer due to medical advances and people are having more offspring. This is having a major effect on the Earths resources. We live in a wasteful society where we throw away so much plastic and waste. Recently I heard that huge amounts of plastic are deliberately dumped into the oceans. I was shocked to hear this.

This is one of the reasons why so many whales and other sea creatures are beaching themselves, they want to simply get out of the toxic waters. The oceans are full of plastic and becoming acidic and poisonous and radiation is leaking from Fukushima and who knows what effect that will have on the sea life and also humanity. People that eat the fish will obviously become ill due to ingesting this poison, the corals are becoming bleached due to rising temperatures. Also the seabed is littered with cables that we use for internet and communication services, these give off a noise that is having an effect also on the life of the oceans. So what can be done?

For the last 10 or so years, I was under the impression that plastic was being recycled, that must be another lie we are being told. The solution to this plastic is simple, we drop it into a liquid molten furnace where it will become vaporized instantly without giving off any toxic fumes. As for the warming of the oceans, well we cant do much for that. I think the world will sort itself out by having an ice age or other extreme weather patterns. We know that the trees absorb the carbon from the air and convert it to oxygen which is amazing, yet people round the world are destroying forests and cutting trees down at an alarming rate. The landslides over in the eastern part of the world are due to deforestation, the trees with their roots would hold the ground together and absorb excess water. As you can see, the world is really on our side.

So will the future dwellers of this world see oceans full of nothing or will balance be restored? I hope we can put right the wrongs that have been done and all creatures live in harmony and balance. It would be a crying shame if the day came when fish and sea creatures only exist in water parks and museums.

My ideas in regard to this are as follows: I hope that mankind has the sense to put things right in the future world. In programmes like Star Trek, we see a world where we have tamed the weather and created balance within nature. There is the potential to harness free energy for all and at this time in history NO ONE should have to drink dirty water. All people should have clean water, hot and cold and a roof over their head. I hope all this becomes a reality one day. Also I would hope that there will be one day a BAN on hunting animals for their body parts and sport, an extremely barbaric and sick practice.

Please think twice before disposing of that plastic cup or bag...
