The beauty of the beach is undeniable. Some days the water shows such beauty and serenity, and other days the water shows such a angry and violent projection. Two thought provoking blogs I read were, Keep a Healthy Fear of Mother Nature and Cleaning the Shores. By reading the titles, it is obvious that the articles are not directly connected; however, the two articles provoked some thoughts I would like to share.
The blog, Keep a Healthy Fear of Mother Nature, reminds the readers of the power of nature. The blog reminded the audience of two hurricanes which showed their furry on the coasts of the Carolinas many years ago. The first of the two hurricanes was predicted to be a damaging hurricane. They state was recommending to its residents that they take all necessary precautions of the hurricane. People prepared for the worst and the storm came and went without any major damage. It brought a sigh of relief to many residents of the area; however, right after the departure of the first hurricane, there were new warnings of a second hurricane. The people, tired and frustrated from the precautions, were skeptical of the severity. However, as the hurricane came closer mandatory evacuations were enforced, people began to realize the severity of the hurricane which was about to nail the state. The hurricane caused major damage, destruction and even death.
This year the Carolinas experiences a similar situation. This fall as hurricane Irean blew upon shore people were expecting the worse; however, the outcome was far from what was predicted. A week later, however, Hurricane Floyd blew upon shore and caused major destruction. This blog is important and interesting to read because you never know when the big, destructive storm is going to hit. People must take each storm as a danger and take precautions to prevent destruction, injury, and even death. Each storm has the potential to be dangerous. Do not ever risk the storm, take precautions if necessary.
The second blog I read was about efforts to keep the beaches clean. The blog reminded the reader that after a long summer of friends and families using the beach, the tolls have been taken on the shores. As we go back to work and school the beaches remain used and litter filled. The blog reminded the reader to clean up the beach. Take a trip to the beach this fall and clean it up.
Though the two blogs were not related in any way, I think reading both articles is important. I related the blogs because I believe global warming is a major cause for some of the severe storms which have hit our lands. One easy way to prevent global warming is by taking care of our earth. Cleaning the beaches is just one way to conserve the environment. I believe that global warming is causing an increase in natural disasters. If we protect our lands now and help clean it up, we will not have to protect ourselves against the furry of earth as frequently. Dangerous, threatening hurricanes such the ones listed in the first blog will continue to crash upon shore if we do not protect or earth by preventing global warming.
