There may be troubled times ahead
if things do not change.
In as little as 30 years monsoons could stop
this is due to deforestation.
To avoid this happening we need to
reforest vast areas.
It is not possible to plant trees without
preparing the land first.
It can take up to 10 years to re-bond the land
and get it stable enough to support trees.
The Monsoon is one of earth's most important
weather systems.
If we lose it climates will change completely
and the earth could be little better than a dust bowl.
Activeremedy.org is fighting hard to avoid this happening
lead by two ladies who have dedicated their lives to this cause.
In a little as 60 years water could cease to exist
and with it life as we know it.
People need to be aware and to find out what they can do.
By working together we can hopefully avert this crisis.

Shadow, Thanks!! I will look at this too. I'm quite concerned too about anything that impacts our environment and the future of our planet. We have many environmental problems due to mankind's bad actions and real stupidity. I never realized the impact with the Monsoons!! Best Always, Gary

did you hear about the talks between Obama and the chinese recently? for climate control? Gosh, I hope it is not too little too late. It is so necessary. Glad you can see that with the words of your poem, dear.
