Eco Terrorist May Have Burned Seattle Homes
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008
Authorities believe eco-terroist are responsible for the destruction of three homes in a Seattle suburb. The homes were located on the “Street of Dreams”, a showcase “of unoccupied, furnished luxury model homes where tens of thousands of visitors last summer eyed the latest in high-end housing, interior design and landscaping.”
A sheet marked Earth Liberation Front was found a the scene. The Earth Liberation Front is a group of radical environmentalist that engage in economic sabotage. Authorities estimate that $7 million dollars worth of damage was done.
Here’s the thing. Common sense should tell us that we’ve over built, over commercialized and generally done great harm to our natural resources as a result. Burning down someone’s property is certainly a disastrous way to bring about change.
What about all the toxic chemicals that were released into the environment as a result of the fire? What about the animals that were harmed? What about the people that could have been killed? A change of wind could have destroyed more homes and further damaged the already delicate ecosystem. Fires created by man cannot be controlled by men or women.
Environmentalism is the new black. That’s probably a good thing. We all could do better. Here are simple ways to combat global warning.
1. The next time you buy a vehicle as least consider a smaller one or a hybrid.
2. Install a water filter in your home instead of buying cases of water.
3. Do as much banking online as you can. By doing you’ll eliminate paper checks.
Going green doesn’t have to be radical, painful and over the top. Every little bit helps. What have you done to cut down on global warming?
