Litter bugs and bear doody

Brush pickers chew up our forests to make your flower bouquets. 2

My real name is Russ Finley. I live in Seattle, married with children. Suffice it to say that although I am trained and educated as an engineer, my passion is nature. I very much want my grandchildren to live on a planet where lions, tigers, and bears have not joined the long and growing list of creatures that used to be. In an attempt to minimize the workload on Grist editors responsible for turning my submissions into intelligible articles, I will also be posting on a seperate blog called Biodiversivist, which will contain articles in addition to those submitted to Grist.

    Natural?Very little that humans now do is natural, and it's getting less natural by the day.  By unnaturally circumventing natural population control without controlling their reproduction, humans have grossly overpopulated the planet.  Add to that all of the unnatural human destruction, like that mentioned in this post, and you have a totally unnatrual situation that's killing the planet.
    The specific culprits here are those who purchase the floral greens as well as those who pick them.  On the supply end, preventing this type of ecological destruction would be a far better use of the military than killing innocent people in other countries for oil.
