\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an interesting look at the systems that make up the human body, how they interact with one another and how those systems can be disrupted by outside forces.\u00a0 In the case of our bodies, those outside forces are the foods we eat, water we drink, chemicals we\u2019re exposed to, etc.\u00a0 It got me to thinking about how much our systems are like our planet\u2019s systems.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For example it\u2019s a fairly complex system and interrelationships of systems that produce the oxygen we need to survive.\u00a0 Our bodies and the Earth are designed with systems that we use to heal ourselves.\u00a0 The earth, like our bodies will gradually lose the ability to heal itself if exposed to more harmful substances then its systems handle.\u00a0\u00a0 Any system if exposed to enough harmful substances will begin to weaken and ultimately fail.\u00a0 When the systems in our bodies weaken and don\u2019t perform as designed they can turn on us becoming our worst health problems.<\/p>\n

The same thing can be said with our earth, it has multiple systems many of which it can use to heal itself.\u00a0 And when earth\u2019s systems weaken they too can wreck havoc on the earth and its inhabitants.\u00a0\u00a0 Our oceans have the capability to scrub CO2 from our atmosphere but there is a limit to the amount of CO2 the ocean can absorb.\u00a0 Our rain forests and plants use CO2 for their survival and in turn provide us with oxygen, we are experiencing less oxygen in our atmosphere due to vast areas of rain forests being cleared farm land.\u00a0 Like the systems in our bodies, earth\u2019s systems are also interrelated.\u00a0 If one system begins to fail or can\u2019t handle all the problems placed upon it, other systems are affected.\u00a0 When systems as big as the earth are changed the affects can be catastrophic for humans.\u00a0 If enough systems begin to fail the host dies.\u00a0 We are just a small part of our planet\u2019s systems but our influence on earth\u2019s systems is growing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have come to a point in our history that the decisions and actions of humankind are having a huge impact the health of our planet. \u00a0Our decisions and the way we live is going to have an impact on future of humans.\u00a0\u00a0 The question is\u2026will it be for good?\u00a0 Like some diseases that grow slowly in our bodies, our actions may take thousands of years before the full impact on our environment is known.<\/p>\n

I believe that it\u2019s not hopeless, we can do things that will have a positive impact on earth\u2019s systems and\u00a0\u00a0 I believe the most positive thing we can do, is for manufacturers to design products and packaging to be \u201cCradle to Cradle<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 Cradle to cradle products are environmentally friendly, can be reused, can be recycled and when the life of the product is over, it can be returned to the earth as a harmless substance.<\/p>\n

WE need to commit to leaving the earth a better place then we found it\u2026a good motto to live by.<\/p>\n
