As environmentalists our goal is to protect the natural
environment and their ecosystems
POV:
from harmful point and non point source pollution. The
Chesapeake Bay watershed, as we
all know, has been going downhill for the past several
years and is now heavily polluted at a
steady decline.
Environmentalists are working to clean the area and
restore is natural habitat. Without our
help the watershed would have no chance at survival! The
bay has a very big importance to
us as environmentalists; it demonstrates our fight for
the survival of different ecosystems.
In the past several years the bay has lost almost all of
its forested shorelines, wetlands,
underwater grasses, and its critters. There are many
solutions that can be developed to
help save the bay. However, not very many people are
aware of the urgency that needs to
be obtained, we as enviormentalists know the facts and
what needs to be done and have
been working for years now. It is improving but still
needs a lot of work.
There is no one single solution, but we are able to
plant cover crops, install riparian
buffers, add nutrients to the water in order to help
regain growth, also we could maybe
even add oxygen to help out the critters. Money is an
issue though, we can't just
automatically produce these things without any cost, so
many volunteers help us clean and
provide the supplies needed. Like we said before without
us the Chesapeake Bay would have
no chance of survival!! I don't believe you are aware of
the effect it will have on our
society and even you as a person. Maybe do a little
research and realize that
environmentalists aren't just "tree huggers". Were
humans who love and care about our
environment and have a passion for helping to save it.
So don't judge before you know the
facts, together we can save the Chesapeake Bay.

Your last sentence says, “So don't judge before you know
the facts”, well how about
you state some facts. You’re trying to say without you
the Bay wouldn’t survive but
you’re not saying any facts about it. You also say
people aren’t aware of the urgencies
that need to be obtained but you don’t provide any
awareness. If I wasn’t in
environmental classes I wouldn’t understand what you’re
trying to say and would just
blow it off. Solutions need to be listed along with
cost.

Dear environmentalists although you have been active in
the cleaning of our Bay, you
need to think bigger. Perhaps you could lobby to
congress to pass laws helpin the Bay!

[To crabby ecotours] I agree when you say " know some
facts " to whomever that
last post was to .. However; I strongly think that
instead of you telling them to learn
the facts, maybe you could share your knowledge with
them rather than mock their
lack of knowledge in the area. Most people don't have
environmental teachers who
share this type of information with them. Maybe you
could enlighten us with your
"facts".
