BelongToTheEarth started in 2008 and already, it has been quite a journey. It has been amazing to see what is going on currently with the climate changes and to see evidence of how the physical geography of the Earth has been affected in the past and present. The pronounced water decreases of the past have sculpted dramatic visible ledges. The mountain sides that show drastic water level lines of ancient seas, lakes, and rivers are proof of sudden climate and weather changes in our Earth's history. According to astronomers, planetary alignments that affect Earth's gravity happen in specific intervals. Ancient cultures were also aware of these Earth changes coinciding with astronomical happenings which were recorded in their historical calendars, thus enabling them to predict future Earth cycles.
~It is important to learn from the past in order to now work on new & better ways of living for the future..

The pictures above and below are young Spotted Rocky Mountain Trout! If you want to fish, don't pollute the water ways!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Above are photographs of some Solar Appliances and Wind Power Inventions! GO GREEN; SAVE ENERGY, SAVE MONEY! “We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Nature’s inexhaustible sources of energy—sun, wind and tide. I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that."
- Thomas Edison, 1931 ......................Support new solar energy practices! To find a solar hot water heater, type in Yahoo or Google Search Box: "Thermosyphon Solar Hot Water Systems" to find different makes and suppliers near you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~++++++++++++++++++++
Above are pictures we photographed of Harris Hawks in South Texas! There is some concern as their numbers decline due to loss of habitat.
The Photos above are of Pelicans that we had the opportunity to observe on South Padre Island!
Please do Not use Motor Boats which can kill the fish and disturb the waters! Motor oil, gasoline and other engine chemicals pollute and kill the fish that Pelicans need to eat!
Please use kinder, gentler Sail Boats and Row boats, conoes and kayaks etc.!
The Sequoia National Forest Mountains & Southernmost Rockies above have some of the last remaining indigenous original biodiverse forests left in the United States.
These Lizards above are amazing creatures that have adapted to the continuously drying Earth! (also: beautifully colored endangered Rattle Snakes; please do not harm them. Thankyou!)photos by Sarah, BTTE*
Bridges, instead of canals and recreation dams, over water save meandering creeks like this one!
San Fransisco's awe inspiring Golden Gate Bridge is an ideal example of building bridges over waterways instead of Dams disrupting their natural flow for transportation!
Music
Anything positive and up beat....
Above and below are pictures of Honey bees collecting pollen and farmer's beehives. Honey Bees are needed to pollinate crops so we can grow food which is imposible if they swarm away from their hives located on the farms. Honey Bees have been swarming away from their hives due to the use of toxic insecticides and poisonous mosquito spraying. Toxic synthetic insecticides harm bees imune systems and make them more vulnerable to viruses, disease and funguses. Instead of making the invasive chemical companies wealthier, START USING SAFER SPECIFIC INSECT MANAGEMENT eg.: SUMMIT MOSQUITO DUNKS WHICH NATURALLY TARGET ONLY MOSQUITO LARVAE and GNAT LARVAE! photos by Sarah, Jayar, BTTE*
Movies
Leonardo DiCaprio's "The 11th Hour" has some good theories about how humans have caused the Earth such a state of distress and some good philosophies of how to correct it.....
Al Gores "An Inconvienent Truth" is good for making people aware of our environments serious pollution problems and there are some things that we would like to point out so that people can have a clearer understanding. Infared is mostly light waves. Ultraviolet waves burn the Earth surface and living things on it. We do not believe that the Earth is simply heating up, we believe that the affects on our atmosphere both man caused and natural are beginning to cause meteorological extremes and drastic changes in our physical geography.
Actually it has been documented that some areas have gotten colder like the UK. In their history they were able to grow warmer weather produce that they are not able to grow now due to the colder climate. The Antartica was melting for a few years starting in 1997, but now is freezing over more than ever since 1978!! So it is more complicated than just "Global Warming".
But dont make the symptoms of even the earth's natural cycles worse...........................
SOME GOOD TIPS: dont waste water by sprinkling your lawn; save money by simply switching to ROCK & SCULPTURE GARDENS and DESERT LANDSCAPES or "Xeriscape". Or start replacing lawn areas with the beautiful new realistic SOY BASED SYNTHETIC TURF imitation grasses. If you must water a tree use the NEW DRIP SYSTEMS and LOW MIST SPRINKLERS not evaporating sprinklers. Dont use toxic chemical weed killers. Instead use SAFER WEED BLOCKERS eg: PLASTIC MESH,etc. Dont use harsh chemical fertilizers; instead use NATURAL PROPERLY MADE COMPOST and other NATURAL FERTILZER PRODUCTS... Use SOLAR ENERGY (SOLAR PANELS) when possible, GEO-THERMAL heat and air systems, WATER WINDMILLS, and ELECTRIC WINDMILLS...
Just as THE SCRIPTURES WARNED US THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO: if farming is not done properly and Healthy Original Biodiverse Forests are destroyed, meteorological extremes will begin to happen. If humans destroy the land, the air, and the waterways, the weather will go from drought to flood and visa verse!
This second video comes from the 1973 movie Lost Horizon about a group of people trying to escape war-torn China who crash land in the Himalayas and come accross the hidden land of Shang-ri-la.
We are all connected. What happens here, happens everywhere.
A bit of a shocker, but it's an awakening for all the apathetic people that have no idea whats really happening to Earth.

Bigfoot: The Oracle of BTTE_Ecology
BIG Footnotes: (From Mr. Bigfoot Himself)
If you've seen Bigfoot (Sasquatch), please send your sketches, photos, or notes of Bigfoot sightings in nature. Bigfoot is also interested in any concerns you have observed in your area and more importantly ECO-IMPROVEMENTS in your environment. For example: photos & articles of more energy efficient ways of doing things like solar paneled carports to plug in electric cars etc. are welcome! .

Hydro Electric Turbine Power Producing Dams on large rapid rivers can be a great non-polluting way to make energy. Although in the future as waterways recede, it may become an impractical or inefficient way to create electric power.

Above photos are of Brush Fires in Arizona and Wild Fires that Devastated Acres of Texas Land and Trees along the 'Coastal Bend'. Wild Fires have been breaking out across the extremely droughted State of Texas. Please make sure people follow 'No Burning Ban Laws' to prevent the loss of rare Wild Life Land!***************************************************************

~~~~The comparative photos above, all in early Spring, at Lake Mead Reservoir, Nevada, demonstrate the rapidly diminishing water levels in one of the U.S.A.'s largest rivers, the Colorado River which feeds 8 of our states. As these man made reservoirs waters decrease, the pollution in these lakes becomes more concentrated. For some states, the Colorado River is their only drinking water source.

The above slide show reveals Lakes, Rivers, and Reservoirs that have extreme water level decreases. We have had droughts in our past but not in this many places at once for this long a period of time. Astonishingly even with the Great Lakes still having "Lake Effect" Heavy Snows, the Great Lakes have continued to drop immensely.

Thee most incredible venue to perform in especially alongside a runway of gorgeous models struttin the hotest fashion!! You can watch all 4 parts on YouTube :-)
Hie Nature friend ! Have a look on the last James Cameron film AVATAR is a wonderful story about fight for nature & simple way of life. A fantastic movie !
Despite there being a ban on commercial whaling, Right now the Japanese whaling fleet are in the southern ocean whale sanctuary, where they plan on slaughtering 935 minke and 50 endangered fin whales, Goverments of the world are not doing enough if anything to stop this, I urge people to boycott Japan and please sign petitions and write to Japanese embassies around the world to put pressure on the Japanese Govt, as well as your own govt. Whaling is totally unnecessary, barbaric and cruel, whaling needs to end today!!
