Well another year has past by so quickly and it has started with a 7.0 earthquake in Japan. Thank God there was not another tsunami and there was no significant damage or injuries, but what does this mean about how vulnerable we are.
With the ocean covering more than 70% of the earth's surface, the ocean represents our planet's largest habitat and source of oxygen. As our oceans become damaged so do we and as the fish ingest the chemicals so do we when we eat them. As time goes on the balance in our ecosystem becomes upset and we become much sicker as people.
From a health perspective if we simply cut down eating the fish that are mercury laden we would not only be healthier but our risk of having Alzheimers and Parkinsons would decrease. It is medically known that too much mercury in our system causes many health risks for any individual. There are currently more and more people having to deal with Alzheimers and dementia and it is not simply because we are living longer.
We are hurting ourselves and our oceans and by being aware of what we can do can not only benefit our quality of life, but help by keeping our oceans from developing acidification; which in turn damages not only the water, but us as well.
Wishing you all the best for a safe, healthy and happy year.

Our hearts go out to the people on the east coast and beyond. From hurricanes
creating vast flooding to earthquakes occurring in places that have never felt
them before; and from wild fires blazing to extended droughts; we send our
support to the people affected by these natural disasters. By itself, hurricane
Irene has caused so much damage, to think another may follow is unimaginable.
How does anyone recover from such tragedy? Although overwhelming, we must look
to the future with hope and promise that technology and government involvement
will help to create the circumstances necessary to reverse the ongoing
destruction of our environment. Are these disasters caused by global warming,
or is this just mere coincidence that our waters are warming and the polar ice
caps are melting? Regardless of the conditions, everyone is subject to the
powerful effects of nature. Ultimately, we will only be able to protect
ourselves when we truly protect our environment through the respect it so
deserves.
With Concern,

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! |

Hello There,
Another year has passed by so quickly with lots of excitement technologically that will ultimately help to recover the environment. From an increase in the use of fuel cells, to a greater number of electric cars, to water treatment systems that help keep the oceans in balance, so much is needed to restore harmony from an environmental perspective. Is it coincidental that as these discoveries are so desperately needed, we are beginning to see the dramatic effects with the weather? As the polar bears lose their habitat, snow is piling up in the UK, closing down Heathrow and leaving people stranded. With tornados manifesting themselves in Oregon where it was unheard of, certainly the extreme weather patterns would suggest there is a change coming. Whoever said it never rains in Southern California? When Tsunamis and other natural disasters destroy countries that are unable to cope, shouldn't we try to protect where we are and what we have as best as possible? Nature is larger than everyone and can destroy even those who think they're untouchable. We must try harder and be grateful for all we have.
Wishing you a Healthy and Happy Holiday and All the Best for the New Year,
