Perhaps that is why Earth Day came and went last Friday
with rather little fanfare, especially so locally, where it was a
rather subdued affair at best.
That is rather unfortunate when one pauses for just a second
to ponder that this ball of mud and increasingly polluted water
is all we have, and if we as a species happen to destroy it, we as
a species disappear too.
For those completely unfamiliar, Earth Day is an annual
event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental
protection, first held on April 22, 1970.
Of course, how threatened our planet is in terms of damage
to the environment is the stuff which keeps social media firing
these days. Some see it as a grand hoax perpetrated by ‘the media’
for some unknowable reason, on the other end of the debate, those who see the end
of the world already etched into our collective future. In the middle, somewhere, is
the actual situation we face as a plant.
There are some rather obvious issues we are facing. The question is, are we doing
enough – or anything at all – to address those issues? For example, the world
population continues to grow, with

little to suggest that upwards trend will
slow. When is the tipping point where
there are too many people for current
resources – in particular food, and how
to we slow the trend? For farmers, this
is a rather crucial question as they will
be looked to grow the food.
And likely with fewer acres as growing
populations mean urban spread, turning
farmland into asphalt roads, housing
developments and big-box stores.
A growing population also creates
ever-larger mounds of garbage, which in
itself is a massive environmental issue.
A solution has been to look at the vast
oceans as little more than a garbage
dump, hoping mountains of non-biodegradable
waste are somehow not a
problem underwater.
Of course, if that garbage happens to
ultimately kill off tuna, lobster and other
seafood sources, where do we replace
the food lost? The answer would be back
on farmers already facing issues.
How will farmers operate as the
society has growing concerns with
farm chemicals and fertilizer? How
do farmers balance being viable and
dealing with carbon release issues in
their operations? If we don’t control our
emissions, what effects will that have
on climate and, again, the ability to
produce food?
With all the issues, perhaps Earth Day
needs more focus moving forward as an
annual day to focus efforts for change.
