The Monetary Paradox: How deep-sea mining could destroy the 'cradle of life on earth'

in #nature7 years ago (edited)

It all boils down to as  how much we are/you willing to lose to change the world and stand up for our/your  kids and grand kids? 

EC COMMENT: We no longer can follow the money blindly. The pillage of Nature has never benefited populations anyway but has created more human suffering. Time has come to take off our colored sunglasses.  Here is another jaw-dropping compilation that should go viral. 

The REAL Cost Of The Capital Sin Called "Gluttony"

The REAL Human Cost Of Electronics 

Sand Wars And The REAL Cost Of Sand 

The Pursuit Of Profits Means Earth Destruction, Indonesia Ablaze 

EC COMMENT: Just like who cares about the billions of gallons of poisonous fracking waste being poured into the oceans?  

>>>ECOWATCH.ORG | In September the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)  finalized a Clean Water Act permit for new and existing offshore oil and  gas platforms operating in federal waters off the coasts of Texas,  Louisiana and Mississippi. The permit allows oil companies to dump  unlimited amounts of waste fluid, including chemicals involved in  fracking, into the Gulf of Mexico.<<<

Deep Sea Mining: The Next Gold Rush  (how destroying nature is sold to us... the next gold rush, really??)

WAKING TIMES EXCERPT

Deep-Seabed Mining is the Next Frontier in the Environmental Plunder of Planet Earth. Deep sea explorers continue to discover new forms of sea life in the  depths of the world’s ocean, but our oceans are being pursued by mining  companies as a huge potential market for minerals extraction.  December 22, 2017   .... “The next frontier of mining is going to be in the ocean, because  there’s a lot of these rare earth elements and minerals in the sea.”  [Source]  The seabed contains potentially trillions of dollars worth of gold  alone, as well as copper, cobalt, and many other minerals useful in the  production of technology and consumer items. The process is highly  controversial, and activists have been working for years to stop this  before it starts. Essentially, giant remote-operated equipment is sent  to the sea floor to grind up and disintegrate the bed, and material is  pumped to containment vessels at the surface..... Considering that the first 10-15 centimeters of the ocean floor is where  the vast majority of deep-sea life lives, processes like this on an  industrial scale would spell disaster for life there. While deep-sea  mining has been of interest to mining companies for decades, since 2000 a  small number of exploration contracts have been permitted around the  world, but the first actual operating license is about to be granted for  mining the seas in Papua New Guinea. This would signal the beginning of  a race to carve out mining contracts for states and companies, dividing  up an enormous portion of the earth which has until now been relatively  untouched.' ..... One has to wonder if continued destruction of the planet is in our best  interest, even if it does serve the consumer economy. At a time when  companies are doing everything they can to make their latest products  obsolete to fuel sales of new versions of technology products, e-waste  is becoming a huge toxic global problem. All the while, major scorched  earth projects like the Athabasca Tar Sands project in Canada proceed  unabated and supported by government.....  http://www.wakingtimes.com/2017/12/22/deep-seabed-mining-next-frontier-environmental-plunder-planet-earth/

The metaphysics of the Earth Custodians Movement is The Spiritual Science Of Vibration. It is a Movement for people willing to protect Life on Earth. More  than ever, a movement for Humans who want to remain Humans  -- and in control of their own thoughts  -- has come. A paradigm   shift  is on the  horizon. Become familiar with the Earth  Custodians'  axioms: http://www.earthcustodians.net/blueprint.html.    Join the EC forum to discuss this extremely important topic   and prepare   for mindset transitioning and a currency-free society!      No-sugar   coated  realities! The EC blog always  strikes at   the root and it is  not always pleasant to read how  bad it  is out   there. But   it   is  necessary so that  Humans can come back  to   their  senses.Thank you in advance for following, upvoting, resteeming, help spread the aims  of  the Earth Custodians and don't forget to continue your own  research!   http://www.earthcustodians.net

THE CURRENCY/MONETARY PARADOX: How changing the word money to currency signals that earthcustodians is not a hypocrite begging for the thing that she is supposedly trying to get rid of.

Remember that earthcustodians hates all forms of money, so she hates steem. So upvote her and give her some stuff that she hates...lolz

If they're going to mine the sea, they can go after all the shipping containers lost at sea.

also though trawling ocean beds still is cheaper...
