Inquisitive Explorer's Guide To Environmental Activism

Intelligent Talk About Environmental Issues and How To Live Healthy

As someone who has been working on Environmental and conservation issues for well over 40 years (I started out doing so in the Cub and Boy Scouts) , and actually studied science (B.S. Botany, Eastern Illinois University), as well as a stint in the Youth Conservation Corps, I cringe when I hear these airhead marketers and media cretins talk about the environment.

They don't have a clue and are only repeating political messages and mantras. If they actually had to defend or discuss what they were talking about, forget it, they just spew out the same cliches and then get mad and call the questioner fascist or a baby killer (yes this happens all the time in these talks and seminars). It is a sham and a shame that these idiots are the ones delivering the message when they admit to lieing, and omitting studies just because they don't fit their Political Correctness bigotry.

I mean enough already with the admitted fake polar bear trying to get on the fake ice sheet. Only brain dead bigots still believe that is real. But is everything all right? Are we killing our planet? Are human beings really to blame for some of the ecological disasters? No, yes and yes. It is pollution, wars and tampering with that threaten our existence. “Global Warming” (or now as they try to pass it off – “Climate Change”) is real, but it is also a myth in how they present the problem. Actually the Earth's climate changes regularly and the planet has heated up and cooled throughout the planet's lifetime. CO2 levels have fluctuated periodically even before human beings appeared on the scene.

But what we are doing is tampering with water flows of rivers, concentration of plant life and scorching our land with poisons and warfare. This is the real problem, but once again the airheads in the media are bored with Pollution and Environmental Issues as “Being So 1970's”, and they poison people's minds by associating anyone who talks about these issues with granola crunching hippies and Green Peace. That is why Al Gore and his crew “invented” “Global Warming” and spread the word. He has a lot of great points and it takes a person of his stature to get the conversations going, but it is up to all of us to act.

Did you realize that the Earth's tilt on its axis isn't and hasn't been stable? That under Greenland's and Antarctica's icecaps there are green plants? That the Solar System we are a part of actually orbits the galaxy and that our position in space isn't stationary? Yes all of these things add up to climate change, but pollution? That is a human thing and can be fixed by humans.

In this blog I will publish articles and tips bringing the discussion back to a sane and reasonable level. I think there is a lot to say for both sides, if only they relax and tell the truth.

Yes there is a problem, and yes there are easy and fun things you can do to help clean up this planet and reverse the trend. It has worked a bit in the 70;s in cleaning up some of the water and air pollution, but we have been lax and we need to get back to the forefront of saving our lives by saving our planet.

By watching are actions and deeds and putting in a little effort, we will conquer this if we have the discipline and willpower. If we decide to play victim and spend our energies playing the blame game and making it a political issue, then we deserve our fate and to be extinguished as a species.

Come back weekly for tips and articles on what we can do.
