If the Earth were only a few feet in diameter, people would come from everywhere to marvel at it. People would walk around it marvelling at its big pools of water, its little pools, and the water flowing between. People would marvel at the bumps on it and the holes in it. They would marvel at the very thin layer of gas surrounding it and the water suspended in the gas. The people would declare it as sacred because it was the only one, and they would protect it so that it would not be hurt. The ball would be the greatest wonder known, and people would come to it to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know beauty, and to wonder how it could be. People would love it and defend it with their lives because they would somehow know that their lives could be nothing without it. If the Earth were only a few feet in diameter.

This should really able to be 'liked' on facebook so everyone who sees it can share it; likewise on twitter. We need more recognition from social mediums to raise awareness for the both the present and the future.
I can't imagine any fishing happening in those rivers if something isn't done about it, let alone anyone trying to take a river cruise holiday down the Danube.
Life isn't positive if our most vital and basic resource is squandered because of greed and money.
We don't really need to do great things but do small things with great effort. I think we can think big start small but doing the 3Rs first.
