Conservation, Recycling and YOU

I am a huge supporter of the effort to conserve America's endangered species, both plant an animal. Due to habitat loss, deforestation, and human encroachment, we are on the brink of losing many varieties of plants and animals. By no means am I knocking the farming industry, because they do provide an important service to everyone, but clearing vast tracts of land for industrial farming is detrimental to our environment and destroys thousands of precious ecosystems, as does littering and dumping waste materials into our rivers, streams and oceans. Think before you toss a cup from a car window or drop a wrapper on the ground, or toss a plastic water bottle that is going to clog a landfill for years. Recycling doesn't take a huge effort. I also advocate composting as means to safely dispose of organic waste material. If you've got a garden, compost makes a great fertilizer. Sierra Club Composting Tips has some great advice if you're new to the composting game. Keystone Endangered Species List from Advocates West has prime examples of American endangered species including wolves, wild mustangs, salmon, sturgeon, caribou, antelope, and goshawks and grizzly bears. So please, for the love of our mother, the Earth, think before you act.
