Earth is under siege.

We are causing our own extinction.

I wonder how many of our members are old enough to remember when that commercial ran? It seems like not so long ago that people were waking up to our growing global problem. Now however it seems we are more concerned about Wall Street and whether our favorite sports team will make it to the playoffs.The BP disaster of last year really got me pissed.Corporate greed, Government corruption. Religious bigotry. We fight over resources instead of providing for our fellow man. Yeah, like some advanced Alien race wants to make contact with us. Does anybody who believes in the possibility of Alien life think that they want us dragging our crap out into the cosmos?

We are swimming in our own filth.

No really,

we are swimming in our own filth.

We are the guinea pigs

The General Motors EV1 was an electric car produced and leased by the General Motors Corporation from 1996 to 1999.[1] It was the first mass-produced and purpose-designed electric vehicle of the modern era from a major automaker,

I was amazed that so many of our ATS members were surprised or shocked over the recent mass global die offs of birds, fish, bees and bats. It isn't like we didn't see this coming. Scientists have for years warned about the effects of pollution and what the possible consequences may be. Hell, even some of the oldest religious texts tell us about mass die offs of sea and land animals. Could they all be wrong?We sit here in our modern world. Thinking we are kings over all that we survey while burning fossil fuels to maintain our comfort zone. Day in and Day out all day everyday 24/7 pumping ton after ton of garbage into the air as if it doesn't matter. The western world started with the industrial revolution. First it was mass burning of coal and now it's oil. Either through a giant factory smoke stack or out of our tail pipes one way or another we continue to pump toxins into the environment.There are really only two things in nature that clean the air of pollutants. The Oceans and the worlds Forests. How have we been treating them? We clear cut for more farmland, more wood products and for living space. We have been in an all out assault on our forests since man first discovered fire.Many of us will sit here and discuss the problems of the modern world with offering no real solutions. I don't know the answers I can only offer my opinion. The world is reaching 7 Billion people. We are in no danger of over population anytime soon BUT we are not supporting the people we already have. How can we Support an even larger population?This is where it gets really bizarre, We have large companies such as Monsanto and Bayer who try to come off as if they are helping us with food production when in reality all they are doing is attempting to patent what we eat then charge through the nose for profit from that which God/Nature has produced. In the process they may be contributing to the downfall through genetic manipulation of organisms that took millions of years to develop and claim that it's safe with only a few months worth of testing.Technology isn't a complete washout.There are some bright spots. Or are there?We have had the technology available to us for environmentally friendlier transportation but AGAIN corporate greed [] killed that. Anybody reading this remember the EV-1 ? Now it's a museum piece. Sure, there are vehicles on the market these days. However we could have had a major jump start had it's development and sales continued.

We even bring our junk with us into space.



Mankind polluted Earth’s oceans and atmosphere in an impressive way. According to the European Space Agency (ESA) it also polluted space in such a way that it represents a danger for satellites for the next 10,000 years !



To their website: “Since 1957, more than 4,800 space launches have led to an on-orbit population today of approximately 13,200 trackable objects, with sizes larger than 10 cm.”



Additionally, any object bigger than a centimeter represents an important danger for satellites because of their speed. There are up to 600,000 of them in terrestrial space.

We have the technology to actually do things differently and so far TPTB have been dragging butt to cooperate and actually do the NEXT RIGHT thing.

So what do TPTB do?

They build seed vaults to store as many seeds as possible.

Hidden Doomsday clocks and Megalithic structures with instructions for

future generations.



A mold-resistant bean, a German pink tomato and a wild strawberry plucked from the flanks of a Russian volcano are just some of the crops whose seeds are being tucked away this week in a giant vault dug out of a mountainside of the Norwegian island Svalbard.



With these new deposits, the so-called Svalbard "Doomsday" Global Seed Vault will reach its half-million mark of seed varieties. The giant icebox of sorts, which was officially opened on Feb. 26, 2008, is meant to protect the world's crop diversity from natural or manmade disasters.
