Time To Change

The earth and many of its contents, thanks in large part to humans, is
deteriorating and it has been for quite a time now.  It is overwhelmingly
populated with both ignorant and lazy people.  In effect, not much is being done
to prevent this deterioration.  For instance, we are killing off vital animal
populations every day.  We have caused the extinction or endangerment of
numerous species for absolutely no reason other than selfishness.  An example is
the poaching of elephants.  We are killing these animals only for our own wealth.

We take their ivory and leave them behind to die.  As a result, they are on the
verge of extinction.  Also, pollution caused by humans and their inventions
cause a major dilemma.  Automobile exhaust fumes and factory pollutants are only
a couple of the impurities causing damaging affects to the ozone layer and
atmosphere.  We depend on the ozone to defend us from harmful UV rays.  Finally,
we have a major impact on the degeneration of natural resources.  Millions of
gallons of oil, coal,  and other valuable resources are wasted each day.  These
are just a few of the human disruptions to nature available to our knowledge.

buried themselves up to their necks in the sand in the middle of logging roads
to stop lumbering operations; in the American Southwest, Earth Firsters
handcuffed themselves to trees and bulldozers to prevent logging; and in
California, they dressed in dolphin and mermaid costumes to picket the
stockholders' meeting of a tuna-fishing company."  The Earth-Firsters' tactics
are not the only drastic only measures they practice.  Their ideas seem to be
quite extreme as well.  For example, they believe the population of  the world
is entirely too high, by as much as ninety perc...
