On an Environmental Note

New York is following other cities in banning lighted offices after a certain hour of the night. This is in an attempt to reduce the number of bird deaths that this practice causes. A classic case of small changes being able to make big differences. Meanwhile a British commision has found that the spraying of pesticides has not received enough study and may in fact be causing much more harm than was previously thought. The operative phrase here is may be causing, the fact is we just don't know. The fact that we just don't know yet can be applied to almost all of man's understanding of the near infinately complex organism that is life on this planet.
