Mangrove Forest Leveled For The 2016 Miami Boat Show

Will we ever learn? Plants around the world, are what keep our earth’s civilization alive, including animals!

We couldn’t believe when we came across this article! A mangrove forest that flourished along Key Biscayne, an island off the coast of Miami, Florida, was butchered to make way for the 2016 Miami Boat Show.

This is why our world is suffering from global warming. Whoever ordered to cut down the mangroves, for the 2016 event, should be SUED! Not to mention that there are sensitive coral reefs around the area, as well.

I was raised in Miami, Florida and have seen the changes occur all around the peninsula. Our neighborhoods used to be full of tropical trees… It was cooler back then due to the trees shading our streets.

A fish habitat has been lost because of this mindless destruction of the mangroves along Key Biscayne for a boat show. How environmentally challenged could authorities be, to allow such environmental destruction of plants and animals, for a boat show that only caters to the rich?

Why You Should Know What Fracking Is

Many people, including myself, don't know much about Fracking and the consequences to our environment. We think it's just another hole in the ground to let natural gas out, but that is not the only thing it is.

We investigated further and... BOY were we surprised! The Fracking ordeal is more complicated than the industry let's you believe and can harm drastically our planet Earth. It's a punch to our planet Earth's environment and can drastically alter the ground beneath us! Fracking, is literally drilling for gas with dangerous chemicals and moving the ground we stand on which eventually pollutes our air. Go to this LINK for a simple graphic demonstration about this drilling... It will blow your mind! Personally, we think that it contributes to sinkholes, as well.

So next time you see a TV commercial about the benefits of this drilling for gas procedure on our beautiful planet Earth's environment… Remember, there are deadly consequences deleted from their "pretty advertising message".
