I only took a snapshot of the marine situation but as Austan pointed out - you could look at any area be it birds, bees, food, water or land and discover the same horrific story.<br /><br />I was shocked at the recently reported response by America, Russia and the UK to the Rory Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866390949954081901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975272829009980386.post-74451447520387825332011-06-17T03:16:15.889+10:002011-06-17T03:16:15.889+10:00The fish- and recently bird- deaths go on and on. ...The fish- and recently bird- deaths go on and on. Big Petroleum keeps drilling the ocean floors. Bats here have "Whitenose Syndrome". Bees are dying off due to CCD, caused, they say now, by pesticides.<br /><br />About 6 years ago, while walking to work, I counted 8 bats laying on the ground along the way. I raised an alarm, nobody cared. In fact, I was ridiculed.<br /><br />I live a Austanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568578637922817033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975272829009980386.post-85444555846282016652011-06-17T03:03:33.254+10:002011-06-17T03:03:33.254+10:00It's horrific.

I settled on one child, in the end. I agree Cre8tivesoul... I feel guilty about bringing a child into the world.

We need to think about the eventual effect what we are doing will have. In order for this to have any impact we all need to be "on the same page". Sadly, we are not.

It’s one of the reasons why we chose not to have any children. I’m appalled at the “mess” they would’ve been stuck cleaning up.

This was in the 60s...so these events have been happening right along, only now do I<br />believe people are taking notice. too late? perhaps? We’re bastards and that’s the real truth.
