As for those who "save the earth" I thank goodness they are around, as I
would hate to think what polluters would be getting away with if it weren't
for these watchdogs in society. Whatever you want to call them.. activists,
treehuggers, etc, they often do good, and we who appreciate native fishes
should not make enemies with them by labeling them, rather, join forces,
share information, weed out the logical information, and apply it to
whatever is best for the fishes and habitats.
As for the meat, I am actually vegetarian. I became vegetarian for health
reasons after a surgery a couple years back. I am not preaching
vegetarianism, but something to consider as "keepers" "appreciators" etc.
of Native Fishes and Habitats, if you do a little bit of homework and take
a closer look on the impacts that the meat industry has on out water
resources, you will realize how even just by cutting back the meat
addicted consumption in this country by 10 percent, that we would stand to
considerably improve water quality and reduce it's consumption as well...
Sorry for the run on sentence.. PHEWWW!! I said that all in one breath!
HA! Anyway, how did this turn into this subject, when my original post
was anouncing a stream outing!!!???.. HA! NANFA.. gotta love it... :-)
