As the Associated Press documented in a five-month investigation, drinking water provided to at least 41 million people living in 24 major metropolitan areas in the United States has tested positive for trace amounts of pharmaceuticals.

The drugs discovered included sex hormones, anti-epileptics, cholesterol medications, drugs used to treat depression and mental illness, painkillers, mood altering drugs, tranquilizers, antibiotics, and caffeine. Tests conducted in many drinking water treatment plants showed traces of 3 or 4 drugs while others showed dozens.

At present most people do not believe that it is necessary to make changes to their lifestyle to prevent major planetary upheavals. The way most people view life in regards to climate change is often that all is still well and there is no need to make all the necessary lifestyle changes. Should they have some concern about the present climate change, this is often rationalized or a good reason is found to marginalize the fact that climate change is caused by humanity itself.

We are at present in a situation where the planet’s ecology is not coping with all the pollution because of a huge, continuously increasing, consumer demand. This excessive demand for consumer goods has created most of the current ecological imbalances. These ecological imbalances will become a much greater problem than most people expect this to be. These imbalances have already caused ecological disasters in different places all over the world, with many more to follow.

This rate of consumption is increasing at an alarming rate. This will cause enormous ecological devastation in the future, to the extent that around 2025, people will need to complete major changes in their lifestyles to avoid the worst possible scenario.

Many of the ice structures like glaciers, ice in mountain areas, and the Arctic icecap are melting. Most of these structures will no longer be in existence by 2025. Much of the Arctic ice has disappeared and many of the glaciers are shrinking. But with all these ice structures so visibly melting why are people not becoming more concerned about a future with almost no ice masses left on lande In fact, most people have not given the consequences of these melting icecaps much thought at all.

Within the next twenty years almost all of the current ice structure will have melted, however, at present this does not concern most of the world’s population. While it is true that we can live without these ice masses, ecologically this is not sound. The planet’s ecology will not be able to sustain a balanced environment without its glaciers and other ice masses.

While most of humanity may think the present melting of glaciers, Arctic ice and the ice covering mountainous areas, is a natural event, this is not so. More and more ice is melting due to global warming as well as a severely damaged environment which is no longer coping.
