Continual abuse of our earth's ecosystems has resulted in a web of interrelated problems that both threaten and endanger the habitats that numerous organisms depend upon for sustenance.  Barring drastic change many of our earth's ecosystems are not sustainable and will continue to decline. By continuing to foster the mentality of a disposable society, we are faced with the widespread destruction of our earth's habitats, our species habitat. Scientific discovery has provided enormous insight into the ways in which our earth's systems interrelate and coexist. As we evolve and develop an increasing awareness of the numerous problems associated with the exploitation of our earth, we are faced with the question of how each of us can contribute to helping sustain our environment and natural resources while limiting further degradation of our earth's habitats. One of the primary ways of helping bring about a positive change that will provide for the needs of a rapidly growing population while nurturing and providing for the needs of our environment is through supporting legislation that takes both of these systems into consideration without giving way to the many agendas that predominately cater to the needs and desires of a select few.
