PLANET EARTH IS UNDER THREAT ~ NOT FROM ALIENS ~
BUT INTERNALLY FROM MAN ~ AND HIS INCREASIING
EXPLIOTATION & POLLUTION OF PLANET EARTH ~ LOVE A & B

Here is a list of TEN AREAS of concern ! Choose one & add
An ECOPOEM ~ or choose another ECOTOPIC that concerns YOU

2. Global availabilty of pure breathable AIR
3. Increase of Human Poulation ~ now almost 8 billion
4. Causes of increased Global Warming
5. Effects of Increased Global Warming
6. Can we feed an ever increasing Population ?
7. Oceanic Pollution by Plastic
8. Can we refreeze the ICE CAPS & GLAZIERS ?
9. If we destroy PlanetEarth ~ could we colonise MARS ?

Thanks for visit ~ please choose a TOPIC (or one of
your OWN) and add a POEM ~ any length or style.
Love & Best Wishes ~ ANGELA & BRIAN & SMOKIE
I am an island
where i should never be
my soil is plastic waste
and i reside mid atlantic
i am the size of france
yet you've never heard of me
i am the beginning
of the end
to life and
eco systems
of this planet
your families will
all die off
in the not too distant future
unless
YOU
do something
to save their lives
TODAY
(dusk arising)
The wrong end of the stick?
but there’s one at each end!
so which do I pick;
please tell me dear friend.
.
Was it poked in some poo
that you got on your shoe?
Was it poked in a tin
with mould growing therein?
.
The wrong end of the stick?
but there’s one at each end!
so which do I pick;
please tell me dear friend.
.
If there were no litter
the choice wouldn’t matter.
GLOBAL WARMING ~ YOU HAVE BEEN WARMED ! ANGELA & BRIAN
***********************************************
WOW Our ECOPOEM FUSION is off to a great START
Three of our most consistent POETS onn MPS
Contributing excaellent ODES on Plastic Pollution
& Litter in General ~ the S*I*T*Y end of the Stick

As a PHYSIO I deal with living organisms HUMANS
And my JOB - after Accidents etc is to restore
HOMEOSTASIS - Pysiological EQUALIBRIUM ~ OK
Its the same with PLANET EARTH its a DYNAMIC
Living System Powered by the SUN Globally
And controlled by the CYCLES (Water - Carbon
Nitrogen - Oxygen etc) LOCALLY ~ AMEN !
For thousands of Years the CO2 atmospheric level
Was 260 ppm which maintained the Average Earth
Temerature @ 15C ! Water was liquid alowing The
Water Cycle to Cycle - The Ice Caps & Glaciers
were solid maintaining a reservoir of Water !
Then came the Industrial Revolution and Mans
Greed for Bigger & Better and a Technological
World which was out of PHASE with the Natural !
Fossil Fuels were burnt - Forests which absorbed
CO2 were decimated & the Human Population
Increased exponentially. CO2 level is now 410 ppm
Planet Earth which is a Dynamic System responds
By Global Warming (Greenhouse Effect) which is
slowly kiling the Planet Dont blame GOD its MAN !
Brian & I hopeto still be alive in 2080 but if
We dont halt GLOBAL WARMING *Life on Earth* could
Be much much worse than in a COVID 19 Pandemic !
***************************************
Thanks for your visit ~ Please add another ECOPOEM while you have a chance only SIX more slots remaining ! Love ANGELA & BRIAN 💛💛
In the year 24hundred and ignorance
Grandfather told me of the family line
who once lived here among trees and parklands of green
where there were strange animals he called cows
which gave milk to drink and it was lush.
There were wild flying birds with wings of the sacred feathers
and the land stretched for hundreds of miles
where it reached down to the sea
which used to be a place you could bathe and enjoy
People were able to run around with their
skin exposed to the suns heat.
There are pictures in the keep of those times.
There were thousands of people then.
Threats of war worried everyone for
the whole planet could become a nuclear desert.
But that wasn't what happened.
Ignorance happened.
MANTRA No. 9. IF WE DESTROY PLANET EARTH COULD WE
COLONISE MARS ? THE ANSWER IS NO ! BRIAN 🧡🤍💙
****************************************
BUZZ ALDRIN IS 90 ~ And a great supporter of
*The Colonization of Mars* OK Hes too old to go.
Im 36 a Scientist & Angela is 32 a PHYSIO and
(as yet NO Kids) so an ideal Couple to Colonise
Mars on a ONE WAY TICKET ! We could open a
MARS BAR and our Kids could be the first MARTIANS
OK so why aren*t we on NASAS LIST ?
THREE MAIN REASONS 1. A lack of OXYGEN ~ We need
to breath when we get out of the MARS MODULE ~ after a SIX MONTH TRIP !
2. A lack of LIQUID WATER ~ there is some ICE but Angela & I use 10 cubic meters of water per MONTH
and there would be 100 for a viable COLONY !
3. Fertile SOIL to grow crops (or hydroponics) NO
Fertile Soil ~ LITTLE WATER ~ Plenty of CO2 ~
NO ANIMALS ? Like NOAH we could ship them ~
breed them & eat them ~ BUT theres no GRASS !
Bear in mind we are not talking about a COLONY
Of 100 (which may be viable ?) but TEN BILLION
if the EARTH becomes UNIHABITABLE due to GLOBAL
WARMING & THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO !
BUZZ can be optimistic but the Blast Off Date is
2035 and he will be 105 ! As an ENVIRONMENTAL
SCIENTIST ~ The concept of moveing some (or all)
of the EARTHS POPULATION to MARS this Century ~
is SCIENCE FICTION not SCIENCE FACT - Sorry BUZZ
**************************************
What are your thoughts on this solution to a Dying Earth ? Why not add a POEM spporting BUZZ
Thanks for visiting ~ Please add a POEM on MARS
or any other of ECOPOEM MANTRAS - Thanks A & B
SHORT SWEET SIMPLE SOLUTIONS
e.g.
Stop buying things which
you know
are bad for the planet
(mostly packaging)
and those who are selling it
will stop making it
you'll force them
to make eco friendly products
SIMPLES

MANTRA No. 2 ~ PURE BREATHABLE AIR FOR EVERYONE
PLANET EARTH IS HABITABLE BY FLORA & FAUNA FOR A
NUMBER OF UNIQUE FACTORS ! A KEY ONE IS THE COMPOSITION (& PURITY) OF ITS ATMOSPHERE - BRIAN
****************************************
EVER SINCE Plant (Flora) & Animal (Fauna) was
Established on Planet Earth (and before the
Industrial Revolution) the Atmosphere (Held on
Earth by Gravity reached an Equilibrium
Cmposition of 78% (inert) NITROGEN 21% (active)
OXYGEN 1% Nble Gases (Mainly ARGON) and 260 ppm
CO2 essential for PHOTOSYNTHESIS. The conversion
of CO2 & H2O into GLUCOSE - STARCH - CELLULOSE.
Since Industrial Revolution the CO2 has risen to
410 ppm causing Global Warming & other very
Negative effects. In addition to this the use of
FOSSIL FUEL has caused and increase in the ACID
OXIDES of SULPHUR & NITROGEN SOx & NOx. This Causes Acid Rain ~ Corrosion
.
DOOMED
muther f*ckkers
cos ya can't even
love ya brother
dont sit back
like you's just chillin
it's the whole damn planet
you're bitchin killing
take a good look

do you see pain
now look in yo mirror
cos you're to blame
don't waste your shit
talking revolution
whats killin our babes
is waste polluton
you spend a dollar
you spend a dime
spend it wisely
it's clean-up time

FOR OUR 7.5 BILLION FELLOW HUMANS TO SURVIVE THREE THINGS ARE ESSENTIAL ~ OXYGEN (EVERY THREE MINUTES) ~ PURE CLEAN WATER (EVERY THREE DAYS) AND BALANCED MEALS (EVERY THREE WEEKS) THE SIMPLE fACT OF THE MATTER IS IF WE DONT GET THESE THINGS WE DIE AND THOUSANDS DO EVERY DAY FOR LACK OF THE THREE THINGS MOST OF US TAKE FOR GRANTED OXYGEN ~ WATTER ~ FOOD. OXYGEN SUPPLY IS OK ~ FOOD IS PROBLEM ~ BUT THE SITUATION WRT WATER IS IMPRFORTUNATEOVING THANKS TO ORGANIATIONS LIKE *WATER AID* ETC ETC
***************************************
90% OF THE HUMAN RACE NOW HAVE ACCES
TO PURE POTABLE PIPED WATER ~ IF WE
ALL CONTRIBUTED TO *CLEAN WATER SCHEMES*
THIS COULD BE 1OO% BY 2025 ! FORTUNATELY
DUE TO THE *WATER CYCLE* & THE EARTHS
GRAVITY ~ THE SUPPLY OF FRESH WATER ON
PANET EARTH IS CONSTANTLY PURIFIED AND
NO MOLECULES OF H2O ARE LOST TO OUTER SPACE !
PLASE USE WATER AS IF IT WAS LIQUID GOLD
NEVER WASTE IT AND DO NOT POLLUTE RIVERS &
STRAMS & OCEANS ~ WHICH KILLS *FISH* THE
MAIN SOURCE OF PROTEIN FOR MILLIONS !
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SURVIVAL OF *LIFE
ON EARTH* WE ALL ARE INDIVIDUALLY & COLLECTIVELY
WE ALL WANT OUR CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN
TO ENJOY BIODIVERSITY ~ THE CHOICE IS OURS
