Why is it that Humankind has become a scourge on the planet? Why can’t were listen to all of the tree-huggers and planet activists? Is it because we’re too proud? If so, HOW can we be PROUD of what we’ve done? If anything, we should, as a people, look on in horror at what we’ve done to the planet we call home. The world is DYING!! All because of the virus called Humankind. I’m REVOLTED by what I see EVERY DAY, outside my door. Do I think we can change? Honestly, no, I don’t. Not unless some miracle happens and we, as a race of intellegent people, start to actually CARE!

Here I go again. Yes, this is happening in more places than you will think possible. Amphibians give us a clue as to the health of our environment. They are trying to warn us. Wake up!
Use organics and your burping friends will jump with 4 strong legs and keep a beautiful orchestra going in wetlands. No tickets are required.

I have seen frogs with missing limbs and stunted limb growth in frogs in my back yard ever since Tru Green Chem Lawn has been used by several neighbors whose land abuts wetlands near a pond along the street. The pesticide applicators are permitted to spray within 25 feet of wetlands even when there are vernal pools who drain into a high level of ground water and into the existing wetlands.
“Silent Spring” has arrived too.
Fewer and fewer frogs make their calls to mates, the lillies are all but gone, few turtles swim, and fish are lying at the surface encoiled in dense milfoil and loose strife!
There are no laws or town ordinances to challenge this nor the clear cutting of trees. You can request assistance here, but people look the other way and arguments ensue. Apparently, people have a right to do what they want even at the expense of nature. Isnt this nice?
