You think what you can't see can't hurt you ?? .... Well take a look *

Acid rain caused by pollution kills forests

This bird died from eating tiny bits of brightly colored plastic which it mistook for food. The bird is decomposing but the plastic will never decompose and may become a meal for another bird.

Now for something I cannot show you. Did you know that over fifty percent of all wildlife on earth has disappeared in the last forty years??


The greatest wildlife loss affecting our food supply is the honey bee.

We lose about 30% of the bee population a year now
Bee researchers first reported massive die-offs back in the 1990s caused mainly by insecticides on crops, loss of habitat, lack of nutrition and the effects of global warming. But the plight of the honeybee didn’t truly buzz into the national consciousness until the spring of 2013, when data revealed the average beekeeper had lost 45% of their colonies the previous winter to a mysterious phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder. Bees pollinate two thirds of our food crops and without them
we would  have world starvation in a very short time.

  2. I wonder if we make any impact at all. If Trump becomes president and decides global warming is a Chines invention, everyone will believe him and then we are doomed. That MO*** FU**** is moving ahead in the polls. I lay awake at night, literally astounded by our stupidity on a global level.
