It seems like we are hearing news in the media about floods, tsunamis, earthquakes or a war that is happening in some foreign country every other day. The world seems to be on the brink of collapse or is this precious earth trying to tell us something? Maybe, mother nature is telling us that we need to look at the current world conditions and change our ways and help to prevent humanity from extinction on this earth.
The rest of society is not too concerned for the time being until such catastrophe is upon us, that is when we will react, when we could have been proactive, it will be a sad state of affairs when fossil fuel and other valuable resources are depleted and gone.
Generating electricity through Nuclear power is a deadly one and has proven to be costly to the people of Japan and this will prove to the rest of the world that this method is too costly to human life and to the natural resources such as water to generate power in this fashion. The end result for this type of power is too dangerous and it seems to have proven itself that containment is impossible, once leakage has happened. Imagine the scenario if a tsunami were to hit the shores of North America, could you imagine the panic or the lives lost if this became a reality?
Polar ice caps are slowly receding and melting every year, changes to the weather patterns are having a negative effect on the habitat in the far north of Canada. The Great White North may have to change the name to the "Great Green North", only time will tell. Global warming is real and continues to be an issue with scientists that are closely monitoring the changes to the north in Canada. We continue to ignore the warnings from scientists about these negative effects to the animals' migrating patterns and the way of life it has impacted on the residents of the far north. I suppose the thinking is, "this has no effect on me or my family and why should I be concerned", but how soon people forgot about the oil spill in the gulf and the negative impact they saw on TV from this horrendous accident. That way of thinking has to change and it starts with us.
Using energy-efficient appliances is a start, but not enough, we need to take it one step further by using all the free and natural resources to help our environment and lessen the negative impact on the world. Inventions such as electric cars, wind mill farms and solar farms are a step to ensuring that our world will have a chance to live on for centuries and in the hopes of helping the earth for a cleaner and green world.
Steps can be taken to help and prevent any further damage to our environment by looking into green technology and learning how we can harness the natural resources for our benefit to warm our homes, generate free power and help to eliminate green house gas emissions into the environment.
Imagine what the world would be like if we all did our part in using green technology, waters, rivers and oceans would be much cleaner and safer, instead of having beaches closed due to contaminants being present in the water. The air we breathe would be cleaner and living in harmony with mother nature would make her a lot happier.
