Not far from where I live, I was driving through an area that I once used to frequent. These days, I very rarely go there - and for what I did see, there is a good reason.
When I drove over the hill and looked from a top over the landscape, I was horrified to see what we Humans were doing to our beautiful Home.
Cranes upon cranes ruled the sky line - the Earth was barron and the stench of the place was disguisting. But as someone mentioned to me - 'David. This is Prgoress.'
In retalation to this, I groaned and said - 'Well, if this is progress I am going to live in a mountain (I sort of do anyway). Because I don't want to be apart of what we are doing to this world.'
If only!
As I mentioned last week, we are all bound to this world. No matter how much you want to fight it - no matter how much you disagree with what is going on; it is our collective consciouness that has bought us to this point. Not only do we have to share in this - we also have to bare the collective karma - serve the retribution of over 100 years of destruction, killing and inhumane practices.
However, I digrese. How did this article end up taking this path. Recently I came across an article that depicts one of the largest Man Made disasters - we have now successfully polluted a large mass of water so that it is now undrikable. But this is just the surface, not only are we destroying ourselevs, we have also taken the liberty in harming millions upon millions of water living sentient beings.
We have created the largest Ocean Dead Zone in the Baltic Sea. This area has witnessed the largest bloom of micsopic algae called photoplankton.
This amazing animal, though so tiny has destroyed these waters, sucking up oxygen and choking the aquatic life.
And here we go - we finally get to tie it all in. Overfishing of the Baltic Cod has greatly intensified the problem. Peter Westman, of the conservation group WWF Sweden, noted 'Cod eat sprats, a small, herring-like species that eat microscopic marine creatures called zooplankton that in turn eat the algae.'
And the deal breaker -
"It might well be too late," said Søren Nors Nielsen of the University of Copenhagen.
The planet’s youngest sea at less than 10,000 years old, the Baltic is unique in that it formed after the last ice age. It's also one of the world’s largest bodies of brackish water.
"Experience tells us such a system is almost impossible to predict," Nielsen said.
The Baltic Sea's unusual mix of fresh water and marine species means it's also especially vulnerable to environmental changes. "Evolution didn’t have time to develop an ecosystem able to tolerate flux," Nielsen explained.
We have only one solution - if it is not too late; we must stop killing animals. We must adopt the compassionate lifestyle and lead a Vegan diet.
Only through these higher ideals, realising our true Heavenly ideals and our true selves can we turn to a pure loving nature.; To save our Home, To save ourselves.
