More than just a system that supports all living things, the Environment is alos a means of connection,of sharing, of communion. Think about it.
As soon as you wake up in the morning, you put your feet on the Earth, you are now connected to everything that walks,crawls,slithers or scampers across the Earth and calls it home. That series of Breaths you took while reading this put you in instant communion with all things that use air to live.
You shared a breath,Life itself with a great many beings. Your exhale fed all the beings that need your CO2 to live. The water you drank is made by the planet and shared with all Life, to sustain us and every living thing. The Environment is a Great Co-ordination between all life to keep all other living things....Living. Hense it's great importance.
We Humans have the greatest impact on the Environment. We don't just kick up a lot of dust,we also dump tons of chemicals into the air,upon the ground and in our goods. All these chemicals have a longer life cycle than we do. So we have created a dangerous situation for all who are yet to come.
To advance as a society and to be seen as an 'Advanced Civilization' we must recognize that a raincloud that has nothing in it other than the dust needed to gather the water vapor, is worth more than all the gold of the World. That pure fresh water is the only true 'Liquid Asset'. That soils that produce food organically is healthier than the treated soils of today.
When we got here in 1492,we encountered a People that kept the garden.
Where we came from we left grand piles of filth and waste. We brought that way of doing things with us,we now have vast dump sites to proclaim our victory over this land. We also have 44% of the fresh water undrinkable. Air quality that's so bad, you're given an early death sentence,no matter how healthy you live, just by breathing the air. Most soils are so poor they need chemicals that cause cancer put on them to make food grow.
Truth is this. It don't matter if you're President, Terrorist, Peacemaker, Anarchist, janitor or Bum, if the Environment isn't healthy neither are you! We're all the same....dead meat.
I for one see a massive employment oppurtunity in 'restoring' the environment. Many hectars of trees need to be planted. Energy farms of wind and solar need to be made. I think we have time to save the Environment and it can be NOW. Can you 'Think Outside the System'?
