Water – Our Most Sacred Resource
Posted on 04. Jun, 2010 by admin in Opinion
I had the chance to meet with a company today that specializes in permacutlure design and edible landscaping. While I am taking a holistic approach to The Sonoran Farm so that all that goes on here can be as integrated as possible, I see that most of what I will be doing will be tied to water.
I really was planning on telling you more about the discussion of the design for the different areas of my property, my topic switched.
Today everyone was posting on Twitter or Facebook to contact British Petroleum’s, Randy Prescott. I thought to myself that this was simply ridiculous. It’s like yelling at a call center rep simply because you were pissed off at the company.
Listen, I am sorry to say this but if it takes a horrible environmental event to wake up people then so be it. The world’s water as it was prior to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was already bad but few really cared to think about it.
We currently have a dead zone in The Gulf of Mexico because of all the toxins and nitrogen based fertilizers that run down the Mississippi River. No bio life can exist there, and this is pre BP.
We have a trash island in the Pacific Ocean nearing the size of Texas where all the plastics from Asia and the Americas are joining. The plastics of the world are deteriorating under the sun and are causing mass destruction.
We as humans can not live without water and perhaps some fisherman out of a job, eco systems dying and the main stream media madness may bring some good to the bigger picture.
