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.

Twickenham's green mead is silent now
Carlos like a fallen steeple gathers dust
That will not grow nor heed the plow
Our ancient skill like dead machines rust
From the distant shores that feed us
Did Kilroy pruned us in vain for this
O that Huckles drew him again, we must
Awake at axe's peril, there's crisis
We must retool heart, and reforest minds
With visions that a hand can use. We
Are the last hope against the empty designs
Of Tufton, global deceit and blind policy.
Ole farmers everywhere let us return and build
From bottom up the citadel's dream above the hill.
