Flirting with Disaster

Man is an emotional soul and loves to flirt with anything that talks back to him.

Any response he gets from somebody, there and then starts the flirting!


 Sometimes, this could be a harmless event but, at times it could turn disastrous.

Lately, Man has been flirting with Mother Nature.

Our Planet has been flirtatious too.

She exhibits the large and pretty landscapes of herself, to which man tends to get weak in his knees.

He is enjoying all the bounties that nature has to offer, however; when it comes to giving back, he has not reciprocated to her.

What is he giving back?
Emissions from fumes, garbage, cutting down trees and constructions everywhere.

What is the Result?
Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Extreme cold or hot conditions.

End Result: We are flirting with disaster.

Mantra for today: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

You are right Ruchira -- I'm a stickler for recycling -- I wish everyone else was too...

We really need to be more conscious of what we are doing to our planet. We will end up living in the mess that we make!

I have the sick feeling that many people in the US don't really think about their actions. This morning, someone on the news casually said, "if you have an iPhone4, then you'll have 30 chargers to go with it" - okay, so how many people rush out to get the latest smartphone (instead of waiting until the phone just about dies out and then recycling their old one) and buys all the accessories to it? So many people do and yet all those electronics required bulldozing in another country's mountains for the ores, untold amounts of oil to manufacture and ship those phones here, and then when people get rid of them, they often throw them into the landfill where heavy metals like mercury and lead can leach into the ground below, polluting groundwater. *sigh* I'm so passionate about wanting to save the planet, but I fear that people won't really imagine it's real until it's might be too late...

I am a big advocate of recycling. I recycle anything and everything I think can be used over again or recycled for a greater purpose. I know we have come a long way in being conscious about the conservation of our planet, however there is so much more we can do. One of the greatest things that can be done is to continuously talk about it and make our children more aware so they can do their part. We start at home, get our homes in order and be prepared as best as we can. Then we can teach our family , our neighbors and our communities, but it must start within. Hugs Ruchira♥

I have to agree--we are so consumerism oriented--we buy and throw out --again and again---it is devastating to our planet

So very important. Interestingly, when we were young we naturally recycled...bottles turned in for a nickel...re-used most things because we didn't have the money for new things.
