Watch a movie called "A life on our Planet" .
This man understands what is in our future if we fail to fix what we broke and continue to break daily .
I have been aware of it since I was a young person myself and am guilty as most of the rest of the humans on this planet for the demise in some way shape or form that is happening at what is an alarming rate of speed that seems to move faster daily .
We are headed in the direction of a mass extinction so fast it boggles my mind . Your children and grandchildren and mine will likely see some or all of it come to pass if we fail to curb our appetites for self destruction .
Watching this movie reinforced what I have been aware of for many moons. I know full well some of the people reading what I am typing will be upset with it due to the fact they or their families depend on some of the destructive habits to survive , but in the end NONE of our families will survive the future if we don't change the way we view our planet as a disposable object .
My next door neighbor just sold his place to a family that mowed down the natural regrowth on 75 acres of long ago timber cleared land and immediately put 20 head of cows on it . He actually thinks they did the property a favor and they are creating a "sanctuary" for cattle . It is this very thing that is why we are headed for demise in the near future .
I work in the paper industry and have most of my life and that industry is as destructive as just about any of them out there , the papermills tree farm and burn fossil fuels by the ton and pollute the waters right at the source of my raw materials ,
and have done so for many years . My grandfather even worked at a paper mill . I tossed in these facts to show this makes me just as guilty as anyone else out there .
Remember this my friends , crappie fishing as we know it will leave us along with the life sustaining water the fish live in sooner than what we think is possible . In the near future many of the fish that actually do survive this onslaught wont even be edible . So just keep in mind that little part of the equation as well .
Even when or if you think it will never effect you and or live in denial of what is occurring it is in fact still occurring.
The planet we call Earth and its amazing ability to absorb our who cares attitudes , is trying to toss in the towel if you haven't noticed . 2020 is a taste of what will become more of the norm in our future if we don't start caring for our globe like we mean it .
My words of wisdom for the new year .
Happy New Years to all
