Here We Go

Welcome to greenboatblog.

Through this site we hope to share information, ideas, and solutions with everyone  who wants to see our waterways returned to their healthy, natural state.

For too long now our rivers, lakes, and Ocean have been treated as the dumping ground for mankind’s waste. 

Unless we change our destructive ways by embracing a common sense, sustainable approach to how we treat our aquatic treasures they may be lost forever.

Regardless of your politics, nationality, or economic status the facts cannot be denied.

Based on every sensible measure taken – from fishery stocks to mercury levels, the health of our coral reefs to the amount of plastic you find on any beach, there is no doubt that Mother Nature is in trouble.

Will the generation responsible for creating the golden age of toxic petro-chemicals, nuclear waste, and genetic engineering apply the same brilliance to cleaning up this mess?

Or will the Industrial and Technology Ages lead to the Age of Extinction?

Please join us as we look at such questions and what those of us who spend time on or near the water can do to leave our Blue Planet better off than we found it.
