Excerpt: The problem of land degradation

Desertification is the degradation of land in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas. It is caused primarily by human activities and climatic variations.

Desertification does not refer to the expansion of existing deserts. It occurs because dryland ecosystems, which cover over one third of the world‘s land area, are extremely vulnerable to over-exploitation and inappropriate land use. Poverty, political instability, deforestation, overgrazing and bad irrigation practices can all undermine the productivity of the land.

Over 250 million people are directly affected by desertification, and about one billion people in over one hundred countries are at risk. These people include many of the world‘s poorest, most marginalized and politically weak citizens.

Desertification can be reversed only if far reaching changes are made in local and international behavior. Step by step, these changes will ultimately lead to sustainable land use and food security for a growing world population. Combating desertification, then, is really just part of a much broader objective: the sustainable development of countries affected by drought and desertification.

Excerpt: How Prescription Drugs are Poisoning Our Waters - By Elizabeth Royte, OnEarth Magazine. Posted October 23, 2006.

We are a nation obsessed with pharmaceuticals. We spend vast sums to manage our health, and we pop pills to address every conceivable symptom. Some elderly Americans take as many as 30 drugs a day, some of them merely to counteract the effects of others. Prescription drug sales rose by an annual average of 11 percent between 2000 and 2005. Americans now fill more than three billion prescriptions a year; nationwide, more than 10 million women take birth-control pills, and about the same number are on hormone-replacement therapy.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, which is putting together a database of literature on so-called emerging contaminants, those metabolites are virtually everywhere, from the iconically dirty Chicago River to the iconically pristine headwaters of Boulder Creek in Colorado. They're in the intakes and outflows of water facilities in both urban and rural areas, in groundwater, mountain streams, surface water, and domestic wells. And while levels of pharmaceuticals are sometimes infinitesimally low, their supplies are continually replenished. As a result, organisms that constantly bathe in a chemical broth are beginning to reveal some alarming abnormalities.

sewage sludge and our food

One fact the article doesn't mention is that the sludge from sewage plants often ends up on farm fields, as fertilizer. This sludge is full of the above-mentioned contaminants, and goes directly into our food supply. The only farms that are guaranteed free of sewage sludge are organic farms.

The Party's Over!
Most all of our technology is based on a movement of energy that expands and destroys life from a cellular to a molecular to a sub atomic level. Victor Schauberger decided at a young age to ignore the intuitive-less science of his day and to spend his years in the laboratory of our earth, the forest. There he discovered many of the secrets of the nature of water and in the process a new science that works with nature in a simple and yet intricately complicated way. Through his observations and implementation of natures ways, he created a technology not unlike the technology that nature herself utilizes to create quality life. This energy is a form of motion which implodes as blood, sap and water does in its natural way creating a quality energy that enhances life rather then what we see in our world today of devastation and destructive forces.
Obviously something is disastrously wrong with our world. Floods, death-enhancing-radiations, dementia, etc., can all be explained through the misuse and misunderstanding of the motion of energy.
Waternature is an under funded organization trying to educate, create, and implement these new technological systems before our world seriously overheats and dies.
Our Earth has a Fever
Help us to help the world. This work is done on behalf of the future of the earth, the people, the children and their children.
Good water - good life, bad water - bad life, no water - no life.......... support us....waternature.com

Waternature depends on funding. We are pursuing financial support to help create a 'Touring MultiMedia Presentation' to educate and inform the public of this new Implosive Biotechnology.
