The World Around Us

October 15, 2007

Today marks the day when bloggers unite under the Blog Action Day event. Actions speak louder than words, we all understand that, however without words of guidance how can we initiate a guided action? Today we speak, in order to start moving in a direction we should all consider; that of which is saving the environment.

We live in a country that exports oil, where many would argue is a primary cause of pollution. Saving the environment however isn’t only about eliminating pollution, but it is coexistence with the world around us. Saving animals, plants, terrain, forests, seas, lakes, mountains, all ecosystems, and even people. We can all take part in our personal and working lives to make a change.

I’ve always had this vision of living in a world, with the current sophisticated elements but without all the destruction of nature and such. What I have in mind probably seems more like a fantasy world, who knows, maybe we will only reach that stage after getting into big trouble with the current state of the environment. Alright, I know that sounded a little negative but we can work to make the current world better, not only by fixing what is currently broken but by creating new ways of doing older things.

The idea is to study nature and adopt the studies into current technology. An example would be the invention of the airplane. The idea is based on bird wings. The invention of sonar is based on some animal’s ability to send signals and track object locations and surroundings. When, however, we use nature in a negative way then we get negative results. I’m not saying that burning oil for energy is bad, but there has to be more to it to make it more natural.
