Can anyone describe how the human population is affecting natural ecosystems?
My one-person thinking is that humans are the only species that ever existed to use its thinking power to propagate more when it is already over crowded and depleting its life resources to the point that it could conceivably exterminate itself. Other creatures are self limiting in order to stay in balance with other species. If a creature will be eaten as food more often than not by other species it propagates in large quantities. If a creature is at the top of the food chain and is not so often eaten it may bear very few offspring. If there are too many of one creature it will eliminate part of the population like the lemmings that go into the sea. Mankind propagates itself and works unceasingly to assure that the weakest of the species survives and multiplies. To do this means he must overtake, kill and destroy so much of plant and animal life on earth that eventually he will exterminate himself if nothing else does it sooner.
Animal Activists?
In the short term try joining your local vegetarian society and training to become an activist by those who participate in outreach. If you don't have a veg society in your city than try forming one by finding people with common interest on Meet-up.com. A great form of activism during the summer is the Great American Meet-Out. You throw a big meat-free cookout in a city park or something. Obcourse it has to be authorized by the city. You'll also want to charge a fair price for the tofu dogs, veggie burgers, veggie kebobs, etc. Another great option is the adopt a college program. Once you've found some veggies to team with you you can go to campuses and share your knowlege with others willing to listen. In the long term you might want to go into animal law in college. That way you can make a career out of animal protection, reform, and maybe even defending a animal rights activist legally. Other options include vegetarian resturanteuring,or working at a farm sanctuary for rescued animals. Good Luck.
