DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT
October 31, 2006 - 08:46 AM
|
|
The level at which sea levels are rising and the rate at which square meters of the world ground cover is changing to deserts every decade is alarming.
All this, as a result of our own activities, overproduction of harmful emmissions to the atmosphere and destruction of our forests.
We may not feel the pinch, but our children, and grand children, and great grand children, are dead, long before they are even born. I do take this opportunity to make that death announcement.
The future of this planet is in out hands. We need to be more responsible.

The destuction of the nature is not a modern tendancy of humans....
It is only NOW that we realize it with all the new technology that allows us to gauge and effectively measure the climate changes as a direct consequence of what we humans "inflict" on the environment by developing industries and not caring much of the surroundings.
It has been extrapolated empirically that whereas the pace of destruction of human habitat and azone zone has been accelerated ever since the Industrial revolution, it has had much impact starting from the end of the last Ice Age, circa 10,000 BC, when many major human movements started to occur over both hemisphere (Clovis came to the North America, or even before that the separation of Tasmania from Australia, as examples).
I don't know if we can do something which will effectively preserve whatever that remains to us but we should anyway try.

I totally agree that we must begin to take responsibility in what we do!
People should be held responsible for their daily actions. People should begin to realize that their is no 'ownership' in nature, it is a system that interacts with each other component of our natural environment. Only our species, as human beings do we 'own and SUV' - but really, do we individually own the air that we burn? Do we own the garbage we throw out, or does the lanfill own that? ..... Only because we pay to remove our trash from our sight, it does not mean that we should not be held accountable for our garbage or CO2 emissions. When people begin taking responsbility for our collective community problems (and not just what we throw away), real progress will be made.
Many University's are beginning to become carbon Nuetral. That means that they are becoming accountable for their emissions and their footprint on our planet. Many county's are also considering how they can be more sustainable in their actions. I encourage everyone to get more involved and realize their potential in making progress for the better of our planet.

If nothing else, the link I am about to give you will help you plan where to build your next home if humans don't change our ways.
Click here!
I will miss Florida the most, and it will be a real pity to lose the entire nation of Holland and the Amazon basin. On the other hand, if you could get into Arkansas oceanfront property on the ground level, you might get rich...

What you have said i svery true and EGERTON UNIVERSITY has made sure that it is not left behind.It has subsequently set up a tree planting week event where trees are planted as we celebrate the importance of trees in our environment.This without doubt creates an atmosphere with which CO2 emmissions are trapped bu the trees thereby leading to reduction of the green house effects.

Don't be so pessimistic. Everybody is aware towards this problem and some efforths have been done. But the problem is that mainly political leaders are not commited for it. They need power and think power is money. They need to develop eco-ethics and we need to make collaborative efforts....
