It's Here..

It baffles me how people still refuse to acknowledge that something is wrong, not only with the planet but the way people perceive things. Are people so selfish that they are willing to sacrifice the simple beauties of this planet, and make sure that future generations will see things like trees, mountains and lake in historical books!
It make me incredibly sad when I hear about a new "fracking plant" or how we're blowing the tops of mountains inorder to get the raw materials we need for energy. Entire mountain ranges in the US have been reduced to mere foothills, what took mother nature millions of years to make, we have destroyed within a year. They have permanently scarred the planet in the name of energy, that land will be scarred forever, nothing will grow there, but do these people think of that, no..they just assume that everything on this planet is made for them to consume and make a profit!
What makes me laugh and cry is that many of these " cleaner" methods of finding energy are not only damaging the earth, but also the people who they are supposedly doing this for. Take the hydraulic fracturing for example, the fluids that are coming out of the plant are basically poison, and what do you think happens to the people who breathe in that air??? They get poisoned!! Increasing amounts of caners, tumours and also birth defects, but also they begining to lose their sense of smell and in some cases even taste. And don't forget the drilling that the do underground to get to this so called clean energy, it's very unsafe and is prone to leakages, meaning contamination of the water supply.. the very essence of life. But the corporation claim their are risks in any endeavour, but tell me this... if you kill everyone, who are you doing it for?
People think that the Earth is ours and we can do whatever we want to it and not have to deal with the consequence's, and I tell you this now, the repercussion are very real, just take a look outside your window, mother nature has had enough.
