Our dying Earth...is there hope?

Alright, so I am going to go all environmental-hippie chick. You know that plastic/can bottled beverage that you just drank? Guess what? It has bisphenol A (BPA) in it, please read about BPA from a scientific resource to find out more. That beverage was sitting in the truck for at least a week, and the toxin has leached into your drink. "oh but I only drink sodas/bottled beverages sometimes"...well do you eat canned food? It accumulates slowly, but there is a significance increase in your body in your lifetime! That's not even counting the fountain water you drink at work or any other place! The best alternative is tap water, yes it is not cold but would rather not help your body? So what if you want something nice and cold to drink? Buy a glass bottle drink instead! Old pipes? Well filter your tap water then! It's so much cheaper! Watch the documentary tapped, it will educate you more than I did. Then there is the acidification of our oceans! Think of all the dying fish! In one human lifetime there will no longer be any safe, consumable fish! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgdlAt4CR-4Let's see what else? Nuclear plants, human electronic waste, Genetically Modified Organism (GMO/ foods), climate change (FYI: no more north pole). The Native American saying, "When the Last Tree Is Cut Down, the Last Fish Eaten, and the Last Stream Poisoned, You Will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money." Well folks, that's the harsh reality...are you going to sit there and do nothing? You can choose not to buy products, you can choose to write to your leaders demanding there be a change! Let us be the change we seek to be in the world.
