Environment: An Overview

     This is the first post in the Environment section of my blog. Thank you again to all those political people who have followed and read my previous posts.
     When considering the environment is, one must ask a question. What is the environment? I know this may seem juvenile and obvious, it is a good statement, because no single person understands all known aspects of it. To put it simply, the environment is the world we live in. Whether it be a wild jungle, a flowing plain, a frozen summit, or even a row of apartment buildings, it is environment. Even those around you are environment. Everything we do, whether it be eat, sleep, drink, walk, or talk, it is connected with the environment. Like the topic or not, it is very important to you and your well being.
     Why then, would we start to alter our environment, and make it harder for us to live? I believe that the answer can be found in ancient pre-history, when man first came to be. With our advanced brains and our grasping hands and swiveling thumbs, we are environment-altering machines. Our brains allow us to force an adaption using other parts of the environment without waiting for genetics to do the job. That is why humans are weak, slow land-walkers, because we don't need much strength to stab with a spear or shoot an arrow. This was a great thing back then. However, there is a bad side.
     You see, nothing has ever been created like us before, so we are a whole new deal to nature, whose best response to us has really only been disease. Once we got out of small tribes, and started over-running the earth, nature couldn't keep up, because we alter the nature too quickly. That is not a problem in one or two small patches on the earth, but when the whole earth is consumed by us, there is no hope. We basically control nature now, although she does lose her temper now and again and smacks us with a hurricane or earthquake. We are just too far-spread and smart for our own or natures goods.
     What does this mean then? MAJOR RESPONSIBILITY. We have to make sure to alter in the right ways for long-term survival, and replenish as much as we can.
     Happily, many have realized this and gone on to campaign for great changes and actions. Unfortunately, there are those who realize this, and use it for their own gain. They create phony evidence, tell convincing lies, and pretend to be on the good side to further themselves. This blog will try to weed out some of the things they do. Also, many people who want good change are oppressed. Corporations have had a major influence in the environmental branch of government affairs. They bribe to have more rights to gain money, yet destroy or pollute many things. They lobby to gain support of major politicians. Yet again, I mention that we the people can change these things for the good
     I hope that I will be able to accomplish what I want to in the next little while. Please enjoy and comment so that I can hear your opinions and better mine.
