Green community
For the past week I have been doing some research to support the beliefs i hold very strong to and I have come up with a coilition of ideas about how to act on these beliefs. I am still thinking about the necesities, so i just want to share some of my findings.
Over75% of the worlds fisheries are overfished. Overfishing causes the distinction of whales, coral, and sea life in general.
Japan, Norway, and Iceland continue to kill whales for profits.
In the last 50 years, 20% of the worlds ancient forests have been cleared.
The United States accounts for 25 percent of the world's annual global warming pollution, but we only make up four percent of the world's population.
Scientists project that the planet's average surface temperature will rise between 2.5 and 10.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the next 100 years
One out of every six children born in America has elevated levels of mercury in their body due to mercury emmiting coal plants who burn fossil fuels.
Just thoughts to chew on. And no, I am not a hippie, New Age religionist. I do not praise the earth. I endow it with every bit of respect God has commanded us to give it. Dude, its not that hard not to trash our planet. Anyone with me?

Ah, so this is what you were jibbin' about earlier? Just so you now, I appreciate and support your argument. I merely took the other side for debate's sake. =)
