Opinion: On A Rant- How Chemical Plant is a Reminder of "Dr. Seuss: The Lorax"

The movie "Dr. Seuss: The Lorax" reminded me of the damage that is done to not exclusively to the trees, but the earth.  It reminded me how valuable and priceless natural resources are such as trees that produce oxygen, and and how we might even soon pay to 'breathe air' if that is even conceivable.  It gives me great awareness to the 'save the earth' green activists that tie themselves on a tree as a radical sacrifice to save this green planet.  We know that global warming is caused by dangerous emission gases in our atmosphere and has been slowly detrimental to our health and well being.  We know that the petroleum plants has caused contaminated air, with no true ventilation but to stay indoors, causing medical issues  such as Pneumonia, Occupational Asthma, and including hardly treatable conditions like cancer, pulmonary oedema lung damage, and phytophotodermatitis skin exposure to UV lights, and other respiratory diseases and skin damage issues that is costing more medical debt. 

Any worker of the petrochemical industry is positioning themselves at high risks. We know we need oil, bottle, However, are their less wasteful and more resourceful ways to prevent further pollution or parallel accidents on our planet without causing so much destruction besides exluding all possible answers except an NWO solution?

Even though their has been small accidents in the plants, most incidents has produced small injuries and damages.  The chain of events has made me reluctant to think that these plants are merely a coincidence.  From the BP oil spill back in 2010 on the Gulf of Mexico that plummeted to almost $60 billion dollars in debt recent chemical plant explosion near Louisiana accidents definitely paving an intentional fast path to the underworld as they falsely perceive to be great, for those who are responsible and more interested in the high profits from foreign oil stakes rather than the condition of people, which is what this earth is all about. Just saying.

Paris has been transferred to UCLA hospital, reported by TMZ, the same hospital where Michael Jackson was taken after his death in 2009.  Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff summoned the investigator to prepare a report on recommendations for Paris' future. Katherine Jackson, 83, the mother of Michael Jackson, is the matriarch of the Jackson family and of the three children Prince, Paris, and Blanket.  A staggering amount of 3.125 teens alone in California were hospitalized for self-inflicted injury, with the surpassing amount nation wide estimate of 713,000. If you know anyone who may be showing signs of self-inflicted injury, please report.  Dr. Carol Bernstein, Associated Professor of NYU, Department of Psychiatry stated that teachers, professors, parents, and leaders need to observe the signs of self-infliction "seek to get the kind of help that these kids really need." Opening up about this topic could save a life!  Being an adolescent is hard enough, dealing with school, and resolving family tides.
