Instead, here are eight ways to recycle your shells. ![]() The sharp, hard edges associated with the shell of an egg can get caught with other items going down the drain, eventually causing it to clog. Paul Kuster is a Calgary writer and former TV broadcaster.Image: Felix Forest / Egg shells We’ll find water somewhere out there and fill Mother till she’s replenished once again. Maybe, someday, you and I will ride a spacecraft in the image of a horse, deep, deep into the black space, bringing Mother with us. I love this place and hope it doesn’t come to that. Maybe I can go back to where we once came? Like something outta Hollywood, where blue and green aliens really love their aqua. This belief is found in many Indigenous cultures throughout the face of Mother Earth. ![]() That we come from waaaaay, waaaay out there, deep in the cosmos a long, long time ago. It’s been a long-held belief that we are not from here originally. Time to load the rabbits and the small critters into a cargo hold on an immense spacecraft. We’ll never see that water within our lifetime again.” Looking Horse also notes that by 2025, 1.8 billion people will live with water scarcity. Even James Webb can see that! The problem is that it takes, unbelievably, “six (thousand) to 10,000 years for that water to filter through the ground. Approximately 3.6 million litres of water a day is being drained out of those sacred underground water reserves to be sold in bottles in 7-Elevens and grocery stores everywhere. However, we forget what Mother taught us a long time ago. And still, we spin around in the blackness. Where do they go? Maybe Musk is taking them, like a squirrel, and storing them away for Mars. So, we cut down more trees, more bush, more brush to make way for new communities, new infrastructure (an oil and gas geologist recently told me how devastating pouring concrete is to the surrounding ecosystems, all the rainwater runs off, causing more erosion and destroying local habitats), which all the while makes the tiny ones, (Mother told us a long time ago that everything is alive, everything has a sacred spirit and therefore must be protected and treated with respect and love) the insects, the critters, the rodents, the predators and the prey all disappear. After all, we need a roof over our heads, don’t we? Then, we clear more and more, to make way for us silly humans. We have to feed everybody, right? That means we clear land, without asking Her, and plant crops on huge corporate farms which uses up immense quantities of the one thing we need to survive, a thing called water. ![]() We’re losing all this wildlife because we are clearing land, parcel after parcel, acre after acre, hectare after hectare. She’s now running a high fever, Mother is, and the symptoms include increased wildfires in the summer, more drought, and enormous incredible storms (look at what happened in Buffalo, N.Y., with that humongous winter storm, the hurricane that devastated our brothers and sisters on our eastern coast only weeks ago) one after another, and another, and another, and so on and so on. I read a startling article from the CBC (place barbs here if you must) back in October 2018, that, according to the World Wildlife Fund, we have lost 60 per cent of Mother’s wildlife since 1970. Earth scientists said years ago that our Mother can only sustain comfortably around six billion children.Īnd we’re not slowing down. We hit eight billion humans only a few weeks ago. A deep connection, a relationship where we give and take, respectfully and properly and beautifully. She gives us life, provides for us and takes care of us. It would probably turn itself around once it saw what was happening to our dear Mother. It’d be interesting to see what it would see if it were to turn its lens toward our marble in the black void.
