I think the "work for water" program in South Africa is great! I love that it creates jobs for a poverty stricken area, while helping their environment and society. Theya re taking steps to help themselves instead of relying on other countries that just throw money at the problem and hope it will get better. I never thought of trees as an invasive species. I also never thought about how precious water really is. We absolutely take advantage of water and always assume it will be there. It is sad to think that our planet is rapidly deteriorating. It is also a littel scary too. It is scary because no one knows what to expect when our natural resouces run out. We are already seeing extreme environmental reaction to our actions. Such as the extreme weather like larger more powerful hurricanes, and increased bad storms that cause deadly tornadoes. I watched the news last night and saw more bad weather and tornados in the area of Moore, OK. The rising ocean temperatures can not just be a coincidence. Our planet it screaming at us to stop the abuse its resources. We HAVE to find a more sustainable way of life.
