INTRODUCTIONThe Dead Blue is about our environment, both our Blue Sky and our Blue Oceans that are dying due to the presence of humans on the planet. Humans have needs of housing, food, trade, energy, and transportation and we have in the short time we have been on this little floating Blue Rock sought and found each. Unfortunately, in our quest for a better life and living conditions we have exploited the planet on which we live, and in many instances destroyed portions of it. We are now up to over 6.3 Billion strong, and there are probably 10 times that population in wild and domestic animals, and each being produces methane a gas that contributes to the Greenhouse Effect that is causing Global Warming. WEATHER EVENTSWe also are by choice or accident polluting our water and air with chemicals, plastics, and all sorts of human waste, i.e. junk as we consume just about everything we touch. Think of it this way, the recent hurricanes put furniture, food, paints, household chemicals, appliances, vehicles, building materials, toys, electronics, and millions of tons of other consumables into our oceans, lakes, and rivers. Water is corrosive and each of these items will eventually dissolve and settle to the bottom of our waterways and thus, choke off plant life and oxygen to marine life, the very marine life we depend upon for our survival. POSITIVE CHANGESWe have and are changing the earth, and not always in a positive way, and we need to wake up to the facts, and make positive changes to the way we live, manufacture things and food, and transport ourselves from place to place.This short booklet hopefully may provide some ideas on how to do this, and someone with more resources than I may become wealthy solving our environmental problems as we attempt to save mankind from his or her own destruction. ENVIRONAMENTAL LAWSThis booklet covers many of the environmental laws, including actions we need to take to prevent further destruction of our water supplies and our marine life that substances a vast worldwide population. LETTERSIncluded are letters from President Obama, Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr, Allyson Schwartz, Senator Bob Casey, Amanda Starbuck, Kyle Ash, Kevin Knobloch, and Rodger Schlickeisen all people in power that believe in protecting our environments and its water supplies. WHAT CAN WE DOSection # 11 has over twenty-four proposals that we can consider for our future.
