    Good write but I am afraid the answer seems to be "No we haven't"

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    Thanks for your honesty ANDY ~ pleased you enjoyed the Poem ! Our descendants will still be alive in 2100 and we want them to inherit a Living Planet ~ not a dying one ! IT'S NOT TOO LATE and every individual can make a contribution TO SAVE THE PLANET ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN

    Goldie and I was alive in 2100 million BC. We're both millions of years old, so we say! Well, we was both there in 1066 at Hastings. lol.
    Oh vanity! I only do this so no one will guess my real age! heehee.
    But - if we all did nothing, nothing at all would change for the better. A fine write B.

      THANKS STEVE ~ Very True ~ we can all do SOMETHING ! Don't forget my Tipple FUSION ~ BRIAN

    • Christina8

      As a planet we are definitely not green enough and that is evident in global warming. Great poem for today! But like you said in a response it's up to each individual to make a contribution to save the planet! Doing what I can. Again, great write! Hugs, Christina

        THANKS CHRIS ~ Sorry to be on my ECOLOGICAL SOAP BOX again but most people dont understand or even know about GAIA ! The concept is that PLANET EARTH is a single living breathing self-regulating organism. So every time you and I breath in we absorb some of GAIAs precious OXYGEN and when we breath out we increase GAIAs CO2 ~ we are all in this together and there are 7.5 billion of us ~ the majority all giving GAIA a hard time. Unfortunately GAIA is responding (on our behalf !) by allowing the CO2 level to rise to 430 ppm (from 250 ppm) and the mean Global Temperature from 15.0 C to 16.1 C ~ her ice caps are melting and her sea levels are rising and GAIA\'s Forest Tresses are being trimmed ~ GAIA is not a Happy Bunny and we are all RESPONSIBLE ~ SO SO SAD, Dont blame GAIA blame non~green Politicians like TRUMP ~ ECOLOGICAL HUGS ~ BRIAN

        Mother Nature will prevail. Antibiotic resistant bacteria, floods, famine, etc. will help restore balance.

        Sorry, did not mean to divert from the beauty of which you speak. Hugs

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Thanks "A" GAIA (Mother Nature) is a Dynamic Biochemical System which i CONSCIOUS (alive) but has no CONSCIENCE ! When constraints are applied like POLLUTION ~ CO2 INCREASE ~ INCREASED POPULATION & URBANISATION ~ GAIA always responds by opposing the constraint and restoring equilibrium. However the results of GAIA's action could be detrimental to H Sapiens ~ OK.

          I can say no. But, I would love to learn more. I appreciate your teaching and need to confess that I'm a little child learning from the subject. Can you teach us more?

            THANKS MALU ~ Each Poem on MPS carries a Message (and Messages) ~ most inform ~ some entertain ~ some shock ~ some amuse some make us cry. I will continue to post Poems with a Popular Science content and being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) I am obliged to share and popularise SCIENCE. I have explained more about GAIA in some of my answers to comments. I am humbled by your comment and request ! Hugs ~ BRIAN. Today\'s Poem is an ABCDarian list of Herbs & Spices ~ Thanks B
