The Garganchuwin Mistake by Paul Molstad

We are the human race, seven point six billion sentient beings destroying everything as long as we have creature comforts. In all of our existence we have destroyed many unique species to extinction. The American Bison and the Bald Eagles were pushed to the brink of being phased out of existence. If you walk through this room you will see many items but at one point of their creation they may have been a rock or a tree. One thing is for sure, we’re taking a lot and not giving enough in return. All around us nature is being destroyed and we are being affected as well, but there is still time to save it.
If you go outside or inside nature is always visibly being destroyed in hundreds of ways. Here are some of the big examples in the state of Wisconsin. Lumberjacking has happened all over Wisconsin, in fact, if you walk outside you can see the affects of it. The Inside of light bulbs are powered by cheap coal that burns and gives off noxious gasses that poison the atmosphere. There is pollution all over the sidewalks, trails, parks, and parking lots and that’s just a small list of areas trash is everywhere. These are three of the major environmental issues in America and the whole world. All over the world, nature’s destruction is taking place in every town, village, city, and other metropolitan areas.
Right now your thinking how this could affect you, well this affects every Man, Woman, Child, Adolescent, and Teenager. Without trees to produce oxygen we will die of carbon dioxide poisoning, which is way worse than suffocation. Oh, did I mention that you would be suffering both at the same time? Also the ozone is being depleted by gasses which are letting in enough radiation to cause cancerous tumors. With all the trash, it is started to fester with diseases that can mutate more easily and has more frightening symptoms. These health issues are caused by environmental issues that have became part of our existence.
There is a way to save lives as we know it and it can be summed up in one word, coexistence. If we try to coexist with nature, we won’t be destroying it. Out there, there are products that use less harmful ingredients the in environment and aren’t as toxic. There are better replacements to fossil fuels like solar and wind power. They never end and are clean. An easy way to coexist is to simply recycle and there is always compost dumps that turn organic matter into fertilizer. These opportunities can help us coexist together better with the environment, which could be the first step to a healthier environment.
So in conclusion, the environment right now is in grave danger from the human race destroying it. We also learned that if we don’t try to stop its destruction, we will die with the environment and all life on earth. We also can stop its destruction by trying to coexist with the environment. So try to help nature by coexisting with the environment. If we don’t, it will be a Garganchuwin mistake.
