Sometimes, the combined
smaller completed efforts
are greater than the sum of a larger one
We live in a time when appeals to people's monetary self-interest
involve
the destructive infestation of nature. We can't continue to burn
the Earth's
candle at both ends. Is ruining
the Ecosystem over a limited substance [fossil
fuel] at a set profit for one time use based on 'worth' calculated on
credit numbers-
rather than sustainable years
-is this really a good idea?
Is it sad, or just pathetic that a human being [that lives less more or
less 80
years]
can hardly foresee the true measure of value to a 'modern
civilization' if it can
no longer provide
the all of the elements of life or if it's means to reselect
itself no longer exists?
"When the last tree is felled"
Here is a big news flash, If we hurry up and use everything,
we will no
longer have the basic means to exist.
The almighty is not going to come back and say 'good job', we are not
going to be
naked running around eating fruit [remember?-no
trees-you cut them down],
We will be gone[extinct] long before the insects.
;)
We
are to blame for that which we create or destroy.
We (all humanity)are
entrusted to take care of things here on earth.

Sustainability-
A system, natural or organized so that one event,
object, or activity creates benefit for another, and so on and so on...
Sharing the earth with animals provides sustainability for people.
There are
ways to share the same places and avoid confrontations with your urban
wildlife that wants nothing more
than to eat the insects, slugs, snakes & rats
in your garden.
Make a place for birds & animals; there are ways to co-exist with
wildlife.
Benefiting Wildlife
*Charitable giving,
*Keep your Cat inside! Some people don't seem to care how many small
birds & animals their free roaming cat [and dog]
leave in their free roaming
wake. The Humane society recommends for
the safety and health of
your cat, keep it inside.
Feral cat colecting is a passive form of
animal hoarding.
Letting pet cats roam is called human impact
on wildlife.
*Volunteering and drives for your local wild life rehabilitation
projects
*urban islands
{urban homes that provide substitute natural
habitat for birds, nest box, bird
bath or decorative pond & foliage)
*privet reserves, and rural- homes
Can contribute easily by providing a water
source, native
trees
& shrubs and limiting access to known nesting sites.
Owners may also sponsor a releasing site for
wild orphaned animals
raised by wildlife rehabilitator.
Deforestation
is
one of the causes of population decline. Becoming involved
in
providing habitats for wildlife seeking refuge may help slow down
the offset and provide alternative nesting sites. It takes a
combined
effort to turn things around. It is nearly impossible to stop growth
for the growing human over population, we can
share the earth as
we were meant to, use our advanced status to help them.
We can still do it, but we are running
out of time.
Philanthropy can't be there for everyone in need. Lately, government
regulations simply aren't up to the task of rescuing nature and seem to
be preoccupied with the loopholes in
the protective measures that are
for sale.
Corruption is not a sustainable activity, it will drag us all down.
What Can you do?
You can do your part to change your corner of the world. The
change
in the world cannot happen without the effort of all of us.
