Then we’ll run out of coal. Soon we’ll be burning parrot pooh. Good poem, though…food for thought.

Thanks for an excellent article! Enjoyed this read!

Hi Sandie,
Nicely written. Burning of coal will also produce polluting gases and add to the greenhouse effect. The best way to save our earth is to use renewable energy like solar, wind, hydro, tidal and so forth.

nice……. great poem

Yes, future seems bleak.

We have to be careful.

Excellent!

Very good one

Conservation is the key!

Pretty good poem. My local electric company uses coal and it has worked out fine. Nuclear is also far better than some people will have you believe.

and the future has always seemed bleak so what else is new!

great poem about a very worrying subject! I did a poem about the icecaps melting but poetry is not my strong subject, I am to much of a bull at a gate!

Algae is the way forward for cars apparently, that or hydrogen. We all need to do our bit in this race against resources and pollution.

What we should do and what people will do are two different things!! It’s hard to go green for most people.

nice poem

thought provoking piece.

I like to think the brighter of us is yet to come–and when they do–their inventions will make oil and electricity look like 3rd grade science projects. Do not get to spend much time as I would like on Triond. I do miiss you. Thank you for reading me and being a lovely fan. My heart searches daily in this vague and vast world to find yours–and, in mere reading–a smile finds its way in mine’s! Cool!

Good to be reminded about this. We should all do what we can.
