in just a matter of time it happens
think about it
how much time passes before things get ruined
it happens
it is not if
it is when
it is just a matter of how long before it happens
it happens with man and nature
it even happens with man and man made
it happens when man makes attempts to recreate nature
they repaved road by my house
they did not factor in the heavy volume of bicycle or pedestrian traffic
but they did do a nice job of paving the road with a solid set of yellow strips down the middle
in addition to the nice job they did paving the road they managed to get some grass to grow on the road side
but... before that grass seed could really take hold there has been that negative impact of man
man has already begun stomping on the earth so that it pounds into a lifeless patch of earth
man has already begun tossing his trash from his cars
the grape soda bottles along with the red bull cans are mixed in with a wide variety of fast food wrappers... some wrappers made of paper other wrappers made of styrofoam
it is too bad part of my DC A CIVIL CITY idea surrounds the simplicity of beautification
well... beautification and information
I feel that if things were more beautiful
people would respect things more
if the information was shared
the common sense the thought
that a car needs to stop for gas... save the trash till you stop for gas
as well as the notions of carrying out the trash that you carry in
so many people enjoy a walk in the woods after work...
they need not toss the empty bottles or ice cream wrapper on the trailside
heck the cigar wrappers... from what may be proof that "the blunt" is still envogue
well... that small wrapper would fit in a pant pocket
which could stay in the pocket until the next time the wearer goes to the bathroom
it is simple
you will need to go to the bathroom
unload your pockets when you unload your lizard
it is all cumulative
that cigarette butt... it is nasty
the fact that you sit on the same log and finish each nicotine session with a flick of a butt
well... your cumulative is measurable
if you toss the cigarette butts here... you may well be smoking elsewhere
tossing butts there
then there is the shortcutting on the trail
the trail is short enough there are already multiple logical trailheads
there is no need to be creating another leg to the spider which is the trails within rock creek park
the trails need to be narrowed
earth needs to be turned
some earth needs to be brought in
indigenous plants need to be put into place
but that is beyond my point
I am not pushing for people to rebuild the trails
I am not asking for people to even pick up the trash
I am asking that people do not destroy the trails and do not leave trash
the dumping that goes on by the various losers that call themselves contractors
well... that is a crime
a crime that should be focused upon
the Minimum fine... well... that should be just that
if people get caught there should be a class action suit
it is the same people repeating the same crime of dumping in the same places
it is unforgiveable
but they are not my focus
it is the average person who tosses their trash from the car or leaves their bottle on the trail
it is the person who walks where the grass is fighting to grow
it is the notion of things being cumulative
it is the notion of knowing your impact on the large scale
on the grand scale
global warming?
we are losing spieces of animals
we are losing the glaciers on this continent
we are ruining things
it is all a matter of time before we ruin it all
we all can lessen our impact
some of us need to pick up the pace
the bare minimum is not very much
think about it
how much time passes before things get ruined
it happens
it is not if
it is when
it is just a matter of how long before it happens
it happens with man and nature
it even happens with man and man made
