Poem
Reflection There has been more advance in the last hundred years than in centuries. At first they seemed wondrous, a miracle as they helped us in multiple ways and most eased our lives to some degree or another. Yet all this technology and industry has come at a horrendous cost to our planet putting it and us in grave peril from pollutants that threaten to smother us and our world to overheat and life as we now know it to cease to exist. It makes me wonder if we had known this would start happening if we would have done things differently? Sadly I think the answer is a resounding no! There are many things that could and should be done but governments and people are slow to respond caring far more about their wallets. We are lucky to have this wake-up call, it is time to use it wisely. First we must stop the desecration turning where possible to clean resources like wind and water to supply our electricity. Petrol should also be phased out along with oil we have other resources that would be much kinder. I know, I know I hear you shout codswallop! But reflect a moment apart from your wallet which you cannot take with you would it really cause you stress or hardship? By cleaning up our act we would be assuring the future of our planet and Not leaving this mess for future generations to suffer and cope with If there is anything left that is! Nature is trying to warn us just stop a moment and REFLECT. Think of all the natural disasters that have been happening for the last 40 - 60 odd years and how much more frequent they are and so much more violent than in the past and I think the choices are clear.
