Personal Input: Concluding Discussion

For my final blog post I wanted to have a post that is directly from my mind and heart. I wanted to speak plainly and discuss everything I have gone over throughout my blog and give my personal input on some points and also to help you feel more connected to what I discussed.

I talked a lot about conservation and efforts to protect our environment and even gave you some ways you could help do so. But why exactly should you care, is probably one thought that crosses your mind. Trust me I understand how you can overlook things throughout your busy life and focus your attentions on things that may seem more relevant to you. However, I want you to think about the things we discussed. Think about every time you walk outside, do you ever just stop and admire what is around you? I think it's basic human nature to admire our surroundings, it's what gives us comfort, pleasure or perhaps even joy. You may not think much of it but your environment plays a key role in your morale and personal feelings. Imagine if you woke up and walked outside and all you saw was waste, a run down deserted landscape filled with nothing but toxic smog and a skyline you can barely see. How would this effect you? I for one for feel dread, despair and even sadness.

Imagine a world without animals if you will. No pets, cats, dogs, birds, fish and other animals we take as pets gone, because we didn't care enough to protect their habitats we share with them. It's a harsh reality to come to. Could you imagine not having flowers grow anymore? Trees no longer providing you shade or oxygen? It's a strange thing to think, but that is what we face. As of this post a specific bumble bee that helps pollinate flowers is at risk of becoming extinct. Without the pollination the flowers will not be able to reproduce and will die out within a few years.

I'm not asking you as a person to become some super hippy tree hugging lover that goes to rallies and protests against every animal cruelty that is brought to light. I myself enjoy a nicely cook steak and am not a Vegan or Vegetarian. No, I am asking you to care about the world around you not just for your sake but for the sake of those who share the land with you. Life is about growing and putting something back into the world to make it a better place. Wouldn't you want to leave the planet you live on in a better place for those who come after you? I'm not asking you to give up your religious beliefs either if you have any. Whatever deity you worship is your own agenda but ask yourself this, would that said deity want you to destroy the planet they left for you to live on? I would say no personally most religions are about being kind and worshiping and upholding the beliefs of said deity. Not many say you should not care for your fellow man or the place you inhabit. You should and you shall! 

I hope that you will think deeply and re-read some of the articles and posts I have left you and come to the conclusion if this planet is worth saving. I for one am doing all I can to be a better person and help protect the world that I live on. But I am only one person and there are many problems our planet faces. We face opposition from those who do not see as I or maybe you do, but in the face of such opposition if we raise our voices loud enough and together we can and will be heard and cannot be denied! Stand for what is right and stand for what is good! Protect our planet and protect our future!
