[QUOTE="KDM, post: 346195, member: 314"] Given a chance, the earth will heal itself with or without men. It just takes time. Chernobyl is lush, green, and full of animals that are not mutations and freaky. We were told radiation would scorch that place for thousands of years.....NOT! Exon Valdez was supposed to wipe that place into oblivion with that oil spill, destroy the salmon and other fisheries, and make it a oceanic wasteland.....NOT! Deep Water Horizon was supposed to devastate the shrimp and fishing resources off our gulf coasts for decades.....NOT! Without men the dams will all break, the bridges will fall, and the rivers will resume what they were doing before these were built. The air will clean itself. Otherwise every volcanic eruption would still be floating around in the air just like the coal smoke from the industrial revolution and the smog of yesteryear. When soils are not being subjected to tillage and chemicals, they will return to what they were before. CRP acres and the soils that have not been farmed for 25 years or so have already been shown to be increasing in fertility and returning to what they were before they were broken up by the plow. Now with that said, do we need to take better care of where we live....ABSOLUTELY. Blame whatever and whomever you wish, but the reality is that MONEY drives all of this and the bottom line is that until men stop chasing the dollar and start putting quality of life before quantity of cash, I see very little improvement in our environmental situations. Carry On!! [/QUOTE]
