Hey bloggers, and so it seems to be that time again where I find myself encountering what seems like it could be that blah bloggers block again where I find myself wondering about what to blagh about on this blog in the world of a million and seemingly bazillion other blogs out there in bloggerland. And what’s the purpose of having one of those web 2. user generated content social media blogs again. Is it to share one thoughts, to rant and rave, to write ones diary or something like that. And then there comes that question again of how to maintain that blog and find content and everything else that may go along with a blog for it. And sometimes I wonder if I should post one of those “Bloggers Wanted” ads on Craigslist in hopes that a zillion other people could help me to maintain and blah blog on this blog. And how do those other bloggers out there in the bloggerworld maintain their blogs, and sometimes more than one blog, and more than two, or three, or four or fifty blogs those other bloggers in the blogosphere seem to be able to maintain. Is there an internet guru to answer this question. Does Wikipedia have an entry for this. Anyway, and so I came across this interesting email that seems to be sitting in my email inbox with a title that reads “What We Consume”. And the title is interesting to me. And this twenty miute video is one of those environmental videos about the products we consume as consumers, and the waste that results. And this video seems to be about population and consumption, sustainability, disposal, production, social issues and the world. And this is an interesting video to watch to me, as it seems to be one of those videos that seeks to save the world and planet mother earth. And this video is the The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard. Help save planet mother earth. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

And I was watching this program called “Strange Days On Planet Earth” the other day, well actually the other month ago on Channel 13 and it was very interesting as their programs usually are. And I tried to take notes for this program to post on my blog in my blogaholicness and those notes became something of a garbled gibberish without complete sentences like this: human contaminants along the coast, coral reefs disappearing, the Sonate underground rivers from the Mayas are disappearing. From the human population trash is getting dumped and releasing pollution from a world of concrete and steel. Protect the rivers, save planet mother earth. The stripped bass are sick with lesions, humans are trashing the planet, the coral reefs are turning pale, fish are being found with bacteria, the sea gulls are starving to death. From overpopulation, action creates reaction. Protect the coral reefs, developers are draining mangroves, the ocean is being over fished and the fish are disappearing. Save the fish, save the sea, save the water, save the planet. The ecosystem is all connected with global change. The restaurant industry and cater waiter dispose of tons of fish going down the drain and into the trash on a daily basis. The fish industry is over farming and depleting life in the ocean. There is global warming, the food chain and the ecosystem is out of balance, there is an ecoapocalypse of the bees, frogs, bats, rice and wheat dying. Maybe we should all stop eating fish to save the oceans and environment. And those stripped bass lesions could be the canary in the coal mine as stripped bass do not like warm waters where there is no oxygen creating stress on the body from chemical fertilizers washed into rivers. No oxygen waters become dead zones. Humanity becomes the enemy of the earth from chemical run off in streams from urban areas, water contamination, car auto oil, the Valdez Exxon oil spill from cars. Pollution is plaguing the seas with trash. Sea birds are dying from chemicals, albatross birds are dying from plastic trash and there is a plastic continent twice the size of Texas with a toilet bowl vortex effect somewhere out there in the middle of the ocean,a plastic soup that does not biodegrade or go away. The Albatross bird species are dying and disappearing from the plastic ocean and from plastic pellet food. One person produces 1500 pounds of plastic per year that finds its ways to the rivers, seas and oceans as the tide of the ocean reverses. And then there was that scary topic of plastics ill effects on human beings. Plastic actually leaches into the water and mimics estrogen in animals producing gender benders, reproduction and health problems amongst humanity. There is some poly carbon resin plastic hormone called phthalates, bisphenol A and BPA’s that are FDA approved and leach into the water pipes, containers that hold food, baby bottles and the like. And those chemicals get absorbed into our bodies. Now that is enough to make me not want to buy that plastic bottle of mile, water, juice and soda anymore. And what other container is there left then? It is a plastic poly carbon, hormone, time bomb in the genes of humanity and the Japanese do not use this phenol product. And then there is the ocean again,the heat and light causing coral reefs to bleach. lose their pigmentation and turn pale like the skeletons of the rainforest, trapping carbon dioxide gases in the atmosphere,changing the chemistry of the sea water making it acidic to where nothing can live in it, which mimics and imitates the sea water of the blood of humanity as nothing can live in an acidic environment. And then there is that go green its the newest thing slogan of these days that asks one to make smart choices to protect planet mother earth. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.
