Save the Earth?

By franjex · Comments (0)

Having anguished so long about what to do to ‘save the earth’.  I have realised that it is totally presumptuous to think the earth needs saving, she will simply shrug her mighty shoulders and ditch us when she feels she has had enough.

So actually, if humans want to survive, I would say, sod the earth – save yourself.  It is us, who are poised to go extinct as a failed species, motivated by greed and desperation.

And how do we make things better?  Again I have suffered agonies over what to do – grow veggies, save water, use less electricity, anxiety about the future of money, what will happen when it all goes pear shaped?  And what happens when solar flares hit, and knock out the whole electronic system?  It all got too much, so this is my solution, if anyone feels moved to join me.

My friend Craig Cumming suggested visualising a perfect world as I see it, and my life coach Louise Peterson tells me I manifest really quickly in my own life, so I figured if I just start to focus on a vision of living on a  beautiful abundant earth, powered by clean, free energy, sparkling rivers, tumbling fresh water, profusion of fish, abundant fields of food, and aware, conscious humans living clean lives.

If we can consciously lift our thoughts and vibrate on a higher level, if we can reach critical mass so that the whole world has to change, surely we can lift ourselves out of this mess in one massive jump?

What do you think, can we create a beautiful world with the power of vision, prayer, mediation, positive thought… Please all share your visions for a perfect earth.

Healing the waters

By franjex · Comments (0)

Healing our water
In stressing lately about our critically sick river, and the multifaceted causes thereof, which will take some sorting out, I began to spin, getting into a negative spiral.


Then the messages start to come – ‘we cannot change anything until we accept it, condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses’.  (CG Jung) and:
‘Focus on what you want – a good intention clothes itself with power’ (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
And I realise that I am focusing on the negative.


I also remember about Masaru Emoto (The True Power of Water) who has photographed water crystals being changed by human intention.
It is entirely possible to change the water – I think they have done meditations for this on the lakes in Canada that were polluted?


Envisage a clean river
So, I ask all of you who feel inclined, to focus on our river, and see it laughing and dancing in the sun, full of healthy fish and birdlife, see the pelicans, like graceful galleons; the stately flamingoes; pratincoles nesting on the river banks, thousands of tern, mullet darting silver in the sunlight. The myriad host of creatures that called the river home.
At the moment, all dead.  But with care and responsible management, it can be brought back to life.


It is but one river that I know of – but I also know that others are similarly afflicted.  Please shine your incredibly powerful mind to envisage clear fresh water on these rivers, and add to the energy of healing.
Rivers are the arteries of our earth, they need to be kept alive.

Poisoned Water

Polluted River

Umvoti River 18 Sept 2010

Are you Poisoning your Water?

Only when the last fish has been caught
Only when the last tree has been cut down
Only when the last river has been poisoned
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten…

We have all heard this American Indian prophecy so many times, but at this moment it seems that it is coming to pass.
We have all heard that the next major war will be fought over water –

Are you aware of what is happening  to our rivers in South Africa?
And do you know why it is a problem if sewerage and chemicals are allowed in to the water source?

Oh, it just goes to down to the sea and washes away.

If we allow engine oil and chemicals from factories into our water supply, they pollute and poison it.  Where do you think we will get clean fresh drinking water, if we keep poisoning our basic supplies?

Fish are already reported to be full of mercury, which will ultimately poison us.  Where does the mercury come from? From us, the humans.

Seeing  the Umvoti River, black with chemicals, and finding that many others rivers, The Duzi, the Umgeni… are also full of sewerage and chemical waste, brings despair.

But what can you do, as an ordinary individual? You can start with yourself. Do you throw old engine oil down the drain, use toxic housecleaners?  Do you know how many of your plastic earbuds end up on the beaches, presumably from the sewerage system?

Well…  You can start to clean up your own drains, your own waste water, use less water, save energy.

If you don’t, you may wake up one day soon to find that you have no clean water, and perhaps that will cause the mass end of humanity.

I am asking you to take up the challenge, (wherever in the world you are) share ideas with me, so that together we can each stop polluting our own small section of the environment?  And if everyone did it, what a difference would that make?

I would love you to sign up now on my blog and share your ideas.  I will send you free tips for going green, as my contribution to a cleaner earth for you and our children.

Let’s join together for cleaner water!

Freshwater extinctions

By franjex · Comments (0)

The article below confirms that we have to safeguard our freshwaters – our rivers.  It simply qualifies what I wrote about the Umvoti River, and many others.  We simply cannot allow sewerage spills and industrial waste to pollute our precious water ways.

21% of Africa’s freshwater plants and animals threatened (September 02, 2010)

http://news.mongabay.com/2010/0902-africa_freshwater.html


21 percent of African freshwater plant and animal species are threatened with extinction, according to a five year assessment of 5,167 freshwater species by 200 scientists.

The IUCN study cites pollution, invasive species, increased water diversion for agriculture, and dams as the chief threats to aquatic biodiversity. “Freshwaters provide a home for a disproportionate level of the world’s biodiversity.

Although they cover just one per cent of the planet’s surface, freshwater ecosystems are actually home to around seven per cent of all species,” said Jean-Christophe Vié, Deputy Head of IUCN’s Species Program, in a statement. “This latest IUCN Red List assessment clearly shows that lakes, rivers and wetlands haven’t escaped the grasp of the current extinction crisis.”

The assessment includes all known freshwater fish, mollusks, crabs, dragonflies and damselflies, and selected families of aquatic plants. Lake Victoria, Africa’s biggest lake, was one of the most endangered with 45 percent of its 191 native fish species threatened or thought to be extinct. The report is available in sub-sections here.
