Issues

With so many issues surrounding planet saving, I decided to follow a few areas that 'spoke' to me.
The turtle problem spoke because this was about human carelessness and something that can easily be avoided.
Bio-fuels rang a loud gong in my head. The whole argument was out of kilter. Turning food into fuel just doesn't make sense to me. We need to revisit our method and desire from transport. In my book this is more fundamental than finding alternative fuel.
The disappearance of bees was very worrying. Humans can't survive without them, there won't be any food.
And talking of food, increasingly I hear that city life is divorcing people from country life. So much so, that many have no idea where food comes from or what a seasonal fruit is. If we are going to survive on this planet, I figure we need to know basics like how it work:>)
