Once again saddened by mindless destruction
I have just been down to the River Dee here in Chester for my usual daily walk with my dogs,and I am absolutely saddened by this mindless destruction of natural habitat that councils and authorities (in this case I'm told it is the Rivers Authority) who decide its in the best interest not only to keep the public path neatly mowed but the whole of the embankment 30 metre wide.
Only 3 days ago I was admiring the delicate wildflowers and enjoying watching the butterflies and other insects sharing and creating our world.
But today it is all gone! Not a wildflower insight ....just a pile of grass cuttings and many plastic drinks bottles and other rubbish (now revealed) left there by uncaring persons.
The little old guy who totters along the embankment and pathways regularly with his insect net,and reporting to the local walkers about decline or rise of specific population will be devastated by this totally destructive act.
Shame on you Rivers Authority and councils for allowing these things to continue.

First there was Earth and then there was Man. And Man reaped everything he could from our Earth but failed to "give back". And then there came a time of reckoning. And Man began to "give back"... Everything started to Change..... The World is changing. People are changing. And business has changed... Every business you find in our ethical directory is a giving business....giving back to Our Planet by working in the Spirit of Harmony with Earth. ...Every member on Pledging for Change is here because they believe in Giving Back in the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet
Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. -- John Wesley, "Letters of John Wesley"
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
