Going Green: Saving Our Environment
by Do you worry about the Environment? How safe is the air you breathe or the water you drink? Is there a connection to the environment and public health?
It is so beautiful to live in the rural area and country part of South Carolina. Watching the tall lofty forest trees in woodlands with bobbing blue jays and singing cardinals. Taking in deep breaths of clean fresh air and smelling the fragant of giant white magnolias from trees, roses, azaleas, daffodils, tulips and other flowering vines, bushes, and stemmed flowers is very energizing. What a wonderful sight to behold and what restfulness of sceneric peace and beauty to drink in. Blue lakes, streams and ponds for fishing and just enjoying the fresh outdoors and blowing breezes in the blazing midday sun. Or to look up at the blue canopy of the heavenly sky and watch the cotton candy clouds play a game of chase as they move across the western horizon. What a wonderful world is our world! What a beautiful place earth is!
At night when I gaze up at a full moon in a darken sky with a tail of stars hanging at its tip leaving a trail like the cow jumping over the moon. I want to laugh and let my poetic soul start chanting and reciting every childhood nursery rhymn I can remember. I am filled with wonder and a sense of hush like a Mother quieting her child in a restful sleep and calm. It took God seven days to create the heavens and earth and everything in it that He made was beautiful and good. But the question is how long will it take humans to destroy and ruin their natural habitat or environment? For the lack of love and appreciating this wonderful world we’re living in, what will it take for human beings to appreciate our world?
But all is not well with our beautiful dying world from poisionous toxics of air pollution, smog from factories, harmful chemicals dumped in our rivers and ponds killing our wild life that drink from these streams and the fish that are contaminated from mercury and other harmful pollutions as sewage and oil spills. What a different picture you see when you drive down the highway and litter is thrown all over the green grass and smell the choking air of burnt trees as millions of acres of forest being burned up from a careless match or a fire left unattend. Cigarette butts, beer, soda, and whiskey bottles and cans are thrown and scattered all across the grassy sides of the highways spoiling the view of greenery on both sides of the road. A litter bag in the vehicle for trash would save our highways of such unsightly trash.
