    Lot's of talk but little action, a familiar story, but this has to change, time really is running out. The creatures that share our planet deserve better protection, from human greed and ignorance.

  • The natural world is an immensely complicated life support system/life creating system. Billions of years in the making. More intricate than your brain can comprehend. Tiny changes adding up. Basic life forms giving way to more complex life forms. All the way up to the human mind. Nature gave us a choice. That is our special ability. The chance to choose for ourselves. Is self destruction really the choice we are choosing. Nature is our family. We are not superior to it. Our inventions are not superior to those created by evolution. Or perhaps God. Only in the minds of men, does science and God contradict. Pull up humanity. Pull up from the nose dive into extinction. There is no glory, no honourโ€ฆ in that which results from the destruction of life itself. Miracles all around. Donโ€™t take it for granted. The hour is getting late.

    Population needs to be in balance with jobs, resources, nature and the environment. Having a bigger population in any country than the country can support makes no sense. Access to food, water, shelter, energy and jobs should guide population levels. The worlds population is still expected to add another billion people to feed, clothe and produce pollution. Humans are crowding out all other species of plants and animals. Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger. Having a child that you can not provide for yourself is cruel and irresponsible. We need solutions not just sympathy. Endless population growth is not sustainable on a finite planet. Every country needs to "TRY" to be more self sufficient. When there are not enough resources to sustain a population something has to give. Countries need to focus on quality of life for their citizens and not just quantity of life for cheap labor. Why import fossil fuels when wind and solar energy can be produced locally and solar energy can power electric vehicles. We need solutions not just sympathy.

    It IS too late for the Polar Bears. What other creatures are we prepared to sacrifice just for our own selfish convenience and comfort? ACT NOW.
