With all this pollution and damage we have done to the earth, can we reverse it? As we see, we have done alot of damage to the earth, weather it%26#039;s driving out cars with gas, littering, not recycling etc.....

I hear that now in the North Pole some ice has even melted, however if we all stopped NOW! and toke care of our earth, could we REVERSE the damage or would we only be preventing further damage? http://www.environmentengineering.blogsp... 25% 1 Vote

That%26#039;s the million dollar question. Some scientists say that climate change and global warming are caused by man and others say it%26#039;s natural or that it isn%26#039;t happening at all.

What I do believe to be true, it doesn%26#039;t matter if those theories are accurate or not. We are using our recources at an unsustainable rate, and we are creating an increasingly toxic environment with our pollution.

We each need to take a hard look at how we affect the earth. The pesticides used to grow our food, the fossil fuels used to ship it to your local grocer. The chemicals in our cleaners, furniture and building products. The raw materials it takes to create everyting we use and how they are manufactured. Everything we do, buy or use has an effect on the planet.

I am striving for a more sustainable life. I buy most of my food from local ranches and farms, I%26#039;m increasing the amount of things I grow at my home. I am eliminating my water hungry lawn. I use less electricity and am installing solar panels. I buy less and waste less.

I%26#039;m getting involved with my sons school earth club to help them become more aware. I volunteer at my cities utility exploration center and am getting involved with a few environmental groups. We all have a choice, It%26#039;s time to think about the future and get involved. 25% 1 Vote

My idea is that we will never be able to reverse the damage we have done. Best case scenario is that we become aware of the damage we are doing, stop doing it and let the earth heal itself over a very long time. The earth will survive, the question is will we be able to live on it once it recovers. 0% 0 Votes
