You don’t have to look far when you are out kayaking to see the effect man has on our environment…. Coolers floating by, styrofoam cups on shore, the pervasion/invasion of zebra mussels to Northeast waterways, etc…

I’m not one to say we need to stop doing everything, and go back to cave living. (Hell, I wonder how much pollution was created just in manufacturing my kayak). We should be mindful, however, of our lifestyle, and be even more mindful of the impact of the ramping up of the global community. As third world countries join the first world, these problems we create and face will get exponentially worse, unless kept in check. Have a look:

Just some food for thought.
