Our Ever Changing World And What We Folks Should Be Doing To Make It Sustainable

Exploiting natural resources without destroying the ecological balance of an area has now become a necessity in our overstretched Earth.
Being in the harvesting and processing of seaweed has certainly made me aware of this really important issue.
By cutting the seaweed properly – sustainable carefully by hand, to ensure the root and part of the plant is left to regrow, will ensure a continued supply of the seaweed. processing the seaweed carefully is also vastly important. Presently drying the seaweed with oil is quite costly, and oil is fast reducing its overall global reserves.
Oil is used for so many things – to heat our homes, run and maintain our vehicles, boats, industrial machinery and help towards providing electricity to homes, offices and factories. To work out how many litres of oil are used every day in just the UK alone will be give astounding results.
To replace oil with the growing of land crops for biofuel is wrong. This is taking food away from the millions of hungry nations – therefore an alternative substitute(s) has to be used.
Wind power is fast growing. The building of the turbines is causing divided communities in a number of areas. A number think the turbines are unattractive – but we will have to endure any pain and annoyance we feel, in order to safeguard the future and make our world sustainable.
Tidal and wave power is another sustainable form of power which is fast growing.
We are devastating the world by over exhaustion of supplies. Demand is far more than supply. A lot of this is down to misuse and greed – many people overheat homes and offices, overeat and use vehicles pointlessly.
The amount of food waste that is dumped each day in the UK alone is huge. Many people do not respect their food. There are many who really do not know precisely where the food on the plate has come from – how many miles and how much oil it has cost to get the meal onto the plate. Furthermore, how many litres of fertilisers and pesticides have been sprayed onto some of the food we are eating?
In order to correct some of the global environmental problems, it is down to us to set the pace with everyone becoming much more conscious of these issues. Stop buying too much food, stop overheating the homes, walk instead of using the car, wherever possible, install natural heating and power systems, grow our own vegetables and purchase only food that has been grown within the local area or in the UK, as far as possible.
We are also destroying our oceans with over fishing, which is detrimental to the natural ecosystem, along with dumping fish and rubbish at sea, and killing many of our beautiful oceanic plants and animals. Before we cause irretrievable damage to our oceans, and make many animals extinct, there has to be areas of total non fishing put in place. This will allow our sea animals to reproduce effectively and rebalance the oceans food chains. If some protected areas become over populated they will move to the unprotected areas. This form of directive will, at least, help to retain some of the already threatened species.
It is our selfishness that is causing the world to be so environmentally exhausted, and in order for our future generations to go on we must learn the true values of our environment, and how to have a more environmentally sustainable world.
