Silencing of nature will hamper the mind

Silent Spring was a book that really turned a lot of people into environmentalists. 

Sadly fifty years later things really haven’t improved all that much. While on the surface it looks lilke we’ve made progress the destruction of nature and wildlife continue.

Silencing of nature will hamper the mind

“Since its publication 50 years ago, humanity has continued silencing the languages of nature, through the pesticides that Carson examined, habitat loss, pollution, overfishing, overhunting and climate change, reducing numbers and driving some species …”

As the population of the world continues to grow, more and more pressure will be placed on nature and wildlife. In a showdown between man and nature, nature will always lose in the name of “progress.” We think of ourselves as the most advanced species on the planet yet we are systamtically destroying it bit by bit.  

We are a society that is reactive instead of proactive. Instead of realizing the harm we are doing and trying to stop the damage, we’ll pass it along to another generation until our backs are up against the wall and then we’ll try to do something about it. But where nature is concerned by the time we realize the error of our ways, it may be too late to end the downward sprial.
