Worth fighting for

October 19th 2006 22:25

Fun day at the beach

There are so many awesome things mama earth provides us with, all natural swimming pools, Ocean waves for surfing and playing, Forests to wander around in, and countless other activities for our enjoyment. How do we protect these precious resources, from corporations, governments and developers?

Well, awareness is the first step. and then we learn how we can avoid being a part of the problem!
Don't support companies that are known for their earth thrashing tendencies.
learn about the issues and write letters to support Preservation.
These are two important concepts, not participating in the destruction and Taking Action for protection!
Here are two links: responsible shopper they help you find out about the products you buy and help you make a decision about how earth friendly the big brand name companies are.
And Friends of the earth is a great site for directing letters at specific politicians. It's so easy, you just fill out your info and click, there goes your letter!
I send you all much Aloha and support in your battles!

The next generation

October 18th 2006 06:17

He's one of the new crop

Yes, the next generation, what will they have to work with? ... Much more than us, that's for certain. It's like that song, What a wonderful world. Something about when babies are grown, They'll know much more than we know

When I think of how much technology has sped up in the last twenty years, I'm Astounded! And then to think what will my nephew have to play with and use when he's twenty?
WoW!
I just hope they figure out how to use technology to protect the world the babies will live in, and let them work less, and enjoy life more, in a natural environment.
It would be great if the big Technology Corporations adopted the concept of "seventh generation " into their future business plans. Explained in the Great law of the Iroquois Confederecy: "In our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decision on the next seven generations."Actually, there are more and more companies these days, that do use these sorts of concepts in their MO.
Seventh Generation, hence the name, believes in just this concept!

Eco Surfing

October 17th 2006 08:00

Party Wave!

Surfing is so big here in Hawaii. Even with the visitors that come all year. When one goes to a place that has warm ocean year-round, naturally one would wish to get in on the STOKE! And one would sign up for a day in Surf school! But, boy is it getting crowded. When we are out surfing and there is one too many schools in the line up it can be dangerous, and if those visitors have been given booties and have been told to walk on the reef, it is dangerous for them and the reef. In fact, it is extremely detrimental to the reef! And anything detrimental to our reef is detrimental to our surfing!
Now I know not every casual beach goer has formal Oceanography training, so to simply explain: It is because of the reef that we have waves. Particularly in Hawaii, we are mostly reef break. Soooo, If we want endless surf to play in, we must take care of mama ocean and all her inhabitants. (Yup, that coral reef is a living creature!) Again, that concept in environmentalism, Take care of it, and it will take care of you! Pretty Easy, Right?
So, Next time you re on an island holiday, and your out there learning to get your STOKE on, tell your surf insructor why you won't walk on the reef. Then you will be teaching them something too!
Thanks!
