NATURE ALWAYS DEMANDS REPAYMENT....

If you were flooded this winter, we have news for you..... it will be the same, or worse, next year.

The rise in the level of 'greenhouse gases' is responsible for our wet stormy winters. Also for the rise in the sea-level that threaten hundreds of tiny Pacific islands.. Sea temperature changes and resultant current alterations have now destroyed 40% of coral reefs.

The main cause of 'greenhouse gases' is exhaust from the combustion engine. The larger the engine, the more the gas.......

THE LAW OF THE ISLAND

Obey the Law of the Island,
It's old and as clear as the sea
Passed on by those here before us
A lesson for you and for me

Look up at the Moon and thank her
As through the clouds she rides
Hers are the rhythms we follow
In step with the sea and the tides.

The very First Law of the Island
Is åHonour thy Mother the Sea'
For Life came first from the ocean
Bloodline of you and of me.

Make peace with the Lord of the Ocean
For Neptune rules our domain
And when he meets the Sou' Wester
We bend to the storm and the rain.

We live by the sea, and on the sea
And some of us fish the Deep
It's a happy life and a healthy life
And one that we wish to keep.

But forget not that Man's a spoiler
It's been thus ever since Cain,
So don't fish all of the shoal, boys,
Leave some to come back again.

Our islands share no borders
Save with the sea and the skies,
And when the sea invades us
It's always the land that dies.

Remember when you fill up with petrol
Or the fire roars up the flue:
That Nature demands repayment
And sometimes from other than you.

The fuel that you burn on the mainland
Warms up this climate as well
Then there's more of the sea and less of the land
And Paradise turns to Hell.

This is the beginning-and-end of the Law,
The warp and the weft of the weave:
Think what you do, how it is done
And what sort of mess you may leave.

Of an Island Race is each Briton
And we used to heed these things
Before motorways and suburbia
And all that Modern Life brings......

Obey the Law of the Island, my Child,
It's old and as clear as the sea,
Then leave it for those that come after -
A message from you and from me.
