Nature

It is evident that our natural environment is struggling with the impact that the human population and consequential demand is having on her. Mother nature has a pace, things take time to grow, cells divide and regenerate, maturation, pollination, fertilisation, seed, egg, birth – it all takes time. As we humans demand more, we change the world around us to get more, and consequences result.

Nature has given us the recipe that has taken billions of years to refine, and it is this recipe that dictates the consequences if certain needs are not fulfilled. Time will truly show us what these consequences will be as we continue to change the world around us.

Our species has adopted a parasitic approach to life on our planet. A parasite is defined as: – An organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other’s expense.

Parasites exist in huge variety and include animals, plants, and microorganisms. They may live as ecto-parasites on the surface of the host (e.g. our planet and the soil and oceans that makes the planet habitable), or as endo-parasites in the gut or tissues (e.g. many kinds of worm), and inevitably cause varying degrees of damage or dis-ease to the host. Destructive parasitic behaviours in general, habitually rely on or exploit others, and give nothing in return.

If we humans are to survive as a species, we must change this destructive relationship we have with our planet, and we need to change it now. Mother Earth is hurting, and the evidence is everywhere. If we continue to suck the life out of her without giving back, then we are in all sorts of trouble and it is only a matter of time. Even the most basic of parasite knows that you do not kill the host. Surely, we are smarter than that. Let us find ways to eliminate toxins and promote life back into our host. Symbiotic and balanced, not parasitic, and diseased.

Embracing the biological significance of molecular hydrogen may just be the very thing that turns it all around and enables the healing process. There is certainly enough evidence already out there to confidently suggest such a thing as all aerobic life depends on it, big or small, singularly, plural, or cumulative. All of us and everything on the planet is but a cumulative consequence of little things all working together and all of it revolves around the most abundant element in the universe, Hydrogen. It’s not rocket science, it’s nature.

Natures recipes are pretty obvious as the major components when talking about life and metabolism. Reactive gasses as the main and stuck together with carbon. Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon and Nitrogen make up about 99% of all the atoms in many living organisms and are some of the most abundant elements in the universe. Paying attention to the biggest parts of any equation is always a good place to start.

Everything starts in the soil for all terrestrial species, and it all ends there too for that matter. The microbes in the soil underpin all life as we know it. They provide the food for all, and all end up providing as food for them as the cascade of life comes full circle. If we strip the land, expose it, harvest from it and then poison it to control it, it will eventually die along with all that comes from it. Let’s love it, feed it and keep it clean.

We now know that there is more natural energy provided to our planet than we could ever use without using the polluting consequences associated with fossil fuel technologies. It is ours and our governments duty to adopt clean energy options wherever and however possible.

What will Mother Nature be able to give to us if we have already taken everything from her?

For those who have always thought less of them, the fact is that we need more tree huggers and people who can actively help to give something back to nature. We become a product of the environment we create and whatever we do to mother nature, we ultimately do to ourselves.

To embrace nature or not to embrace nature, we will ultimately reap what we sew and it is that legacy that we pass on to all that follow. Our future is in our own hands and it is up to us to educate and encourage others towards a sustainable future for all of us. Nature is showing us how every day and all we need to do is pay attention.
