To Introduce Wild Animals for Ecologic Healing

 

It is no secret that humans have possibly stressed the environment beyond repair.

We are currently in the middle of a mass extinction because of human misdeeds.

I presuppose that it is a fallacy to believe that humans can never help ecosystems.  The suggested fallacy many believe, heaven forfend, is that it is human activity by nature makes us in a way that we humans must permanently destroy more than we are able to mend due to human iniquities.  It is time for humanity to step up and take more effort to do good by nature because too often we wait, which causes dreaded population bottlenecks for species, making recovery even harder because it diminishes necessary antifragile genetic variability to a population.

If we reach out, we should not fear that animals will become dependent on our support.  We as humans should think of helping animals succeed as a job, and in addition humans should demand pay for such work, as wild animal breeders, such that wild animal breeding could be both a job creator and a human niche.

 

While not optimal, I believe that it could still be good to help both suffering species and non-endangered species.  Too often humans have waited to the extent that our activity creates a population bottleneck.  Rather, I suggest that we breed animals, especially harmless animals, with the hope of having them enter their natural niche out of captivity.

I even suggest that with the help of scientific research, in order to fight the toll of invasive species, possibly we could also safely introduce more invasive species, except the new invasive species, would be less troublesome, as they would be natural predators functioning to reduce the total damage done to indigenous species.   

In the future, we may end up having to help species in a multifaceted battlefront, including efforts to reduce toxic carbon emissions.  This is job #1 for humanity today.  We need to step up to the plate and assume a role of encouraging bio-friendly activities that heal the world, rather than giving up on ideals.

  

Eating the Apple Core

I don’t mean to suggest that the apple core is the tastiest part of the apple. However, a lot of work goes into apple picking. Apples are heavy and picking them is back breaking work. So, even if you don’t care about saving money, save someone’s back. Maybe, if you save an apple picker’s back, one day your back will be saved. The same is true for all the people that work in the supply chain to make sure that apple gets from the tree to your belly.

Apple cores are perfectly edible. Nothing special needs to be done with them. I usually eat the bottom off the apple, and then work my way up to the stem. I don’t eat the stem.

If you eat the apple core, then you will be adding fiber to your diet, which is a good thing. If you have the money to throw out apple cores, why be wasteful? Just think; you’ll save yourself the extra effort of lugging it to the dump. And, you say, “It’s not a problem to bring a few apple cores to the dump,” well as my dad says, “Pennies make dollars.” Maybe in a lifetime eating apple cores will only save you one trip to the dump. However, I try to avoid trips to the dump. I was raised with a pennies make dollars mentality. I try to get the most bang for my buck. So, I not only eat the meat of the apple. I also eat the apple core.
