hey you there?
yes im here
sweet! how much do you know about environmental conservation?
uhh i think not toomuch? you probably know a lot more than I do since you brought it up
can i tell you about it in general?
yeah sure!
well when people hear the phrase "environmental conservation" it doesnt just mean protecting the cute animals that we all love around the world it is actually very essential to our own survival that is why we need to take care of the environment and the animals around us
ok how so? how is it important to us?
well agriculture depends on good and healthy environment and we depend on successful agriculture. if the agriculture fail then we all die! this is a pretty obvious one conserving the environment and preventing soil erosion and contamination and flooding is all very crucial one land slid can destroy everything and hurt everyone a lot food will get more expensive until they can have a better season next year if the ecosystem and the environment isn't healthy then farming cannot take place
ok yeah that makes sense
also the oceans are very important to our own surivial did you know that the small creature in the ocean that are fast declining in population produce about 70 percent of our oxygen? . also a lot of communities world wide depend on not just agriculture but sea food. it is very important that we protect marine conservation because if we over fish then we will not have food in the ocean. and also the fishes cannot take care of the oceans ecosystem then again, we all die because no oxygen and no food there are so many great animals that live in the ocean and we need to protect them or else again we die
haha I like that you say... we die ok go on this all makes sense
I dont know what your stance is on global warming but I think it is happening human activities with cars and industry pollution and cattle ranches produce so much atmosphere pollution this will affect all life here on earth. droughts, floods, and extremem cold and heat will be caused by global warming because the earth cannot maintain its regular system because its getting hot
yeah i believe in global warming I think that america needs to get on board with the climate team of the world!
yes I agree. I have no idea why trump did not get in to it. At least he was ballsy enough to threathen the North korean president to somehow stop the korean war hahaha
hahah yes I heard about that! so cool! I also heard that the south koreans credit trump for it
yeah they do hahaha I think its partly true. ill have to give some credit to Trump no one will challenge north korea and their nuclear missile launches except Trump
yeah I guess that is true hahaha gotta give credit where credit is due
we will see what happens though
yeah we will see
I just gave you a really general idea and info about environmental conservation but I really suggest that you look in to it more! We need to take care of the planet that we live in! I mean God created it for us to enjoy not to defile and trash it I think that God is really frowning upon us right now. I also think, if i remember right, that Brigham Young said that basically if we dont take care of the Earth then God wil curse us or something like that
yeah he did say that I think maybe some of the church leaders can say more about that in general conference
oh my goodness that is a great idea I think someone definitely should talk about it in general conference so that the members of the church can also become a pioneer and a leader to helping the Earth be cleaner I think that Elder Holland or Elder Nelson would be a great speaker for thing like this or Elder Bednar
I think Elder Bednar would be the best out of those three but Elder Holland is close hahaha
yeah totally so I have a dillema
what is it?
at my moms apartment on her porch there is a really big birds nest and the birds are so pretty. I dont think they are robins but i think they are in the same family yeah anyway the birds are pooping so much everywhere on the porch and the lantern outside I dont know if we need to get rid of the nest or what because the poop is hard to get rid of and I dont want to be cleaning it everyday
hmmm i think you can install a birdhouse or something they might move in there
hmm maybe but they look really cozy in their own nests they are super chill though they dont make a ton of noise but they haven't had baby birds yet so we will see.....
well i hope for the best for your family's sanity and the birds
thanks hahaha when I was younger I wanted to make dubstep music hahaha
what hahah thats so funny. did you drop any hot beats?
hahah unfortunately no I got to like a third of a song and I quit because it was so hard~! I got this free trial of a music and sound maker thingy software called Reason and I had no idea how to use it. and youtube was not much help. I got someone far into it though but I could not understand exactly how to control the sounds and the bass very well
it is tough i bet I have no knowledge of those things so I cant help ya hahaha
hahaha it was a very short hobby probably the shortest hobby that I ever had
for me the shortest hobby that I had was bowling
oh what thats so awesome
yeah i stopped after like a week because I broke my thumb because the ball got stuck.
oooh ouch... I never had that happen to me before but i heard stories like that I always get like the big finger ones because i dont want to get it stuck like you did
yeah smart I wish I thought of that before
hahaha it happens to the best of us I suck at bowling though but all my friends are pretty good. I suck because my right hand was broken from long boarding. I think I might have told you about this but maybe not
i dont think you did
but anyway I broke it and ever since the surgery and the full heal I think my accuracy and keeping my wrist straight or aiming where I want it to go never works I have to aim like 5 degrees to the right of my target
hey at least you kind of figured it out
yeah haha so i haven't told you about my freak accident when I went climbing?
no
ok so this was like two years ago in the winter semester time my friends and I wanted to make a trip down to st. george to get some warm sun and fun climbs in on the second day we were at this place called the prophecy wall. Its red rock formation that is super tall in the middle of nowhere and next to it there is a pretty good sized pond this wall is very famous for Multiptich routes well when my buddy and I got to the third pitch of the climb I decided to lead the climb it was kind of nice because we got to start from a really small ledge that we could stand on but we were still like 120 feet up in the air when started to climb I got to the second safety draw so that I can put my safety gear in and as soon as i shifted my weight to reach for the bolt my left hand popped off the wall because the rock broke off!
oh my goodness did you fall all the way down?
no luckly I didnt! i landed on my feet on the ledge and I didn't know I broke my left ankle and i refused to believe it because i did not want to go see a doctor and pay hundred or thousands of dollars
ok fair enough but you have to take care of your body
well yeah I decided and hoped that it was just a really bad sprain because I could kind of move it my buddy lowered me down like 120 feet and I had to crawl on all 3s for about a mile to get to the car and we had to wait for like an hours, a very long one, because they were climbing somewhere else then we got in the car and drove home
holy cow didnt it hurt? didn't it hurt enough to make you want to go see a doctor?
well I have a really high pain tolerance (its a curse) so Ididnt I went with it for a week and crutched around until my friends forced me to go see a doctor
ohhh.. that was not very smart
yea no..... My ankle did not get better. It stayed purple and swollen and it did not go away
yeah your ankle was broken!
yeah so when i went to the student health center here at BYU they told me that the ankle bone was completely severed off from the main part of the ankle so they said that I have to get surgery in order to fix it or I would never walk again
oh my goodnessss you should have gone to see the doctor right away
yeah well it didnt make too much of a difference but yeah you are right
lol
I got to surgery like a few days later and they drilled in two 4 inch screws in to my bone and stitched me up real good and sent me on my way
dang....
yeah and it was the winter semester so I had to crutch around on campus in ice and snow...
that must have been so scary
yeah it would give me a heart attack when I would slip but id always caught myself luckly
you are insane
yep ill admit it
do you have any other crazy breaking bone stories
yes i do hahaha you sure you want to hear it?
ya
did i tell you about my wrist and long board accident?
i dont think sooo maybe no
ok so this was before the mission when i thought i was so cool and invinsible invinsable well two of my buddies and I were hanging and kind of late and super bored
oh no. youwere bored. hahaha I feel like boredom cant give you some bad ideas
yeah it did that day so we decided to go longboard behind my buddy's house where we were at and this was a good idea but the choice i made to go down this hill was not this hill that im talking about was fresh brand new because they were building some town homes it was super dark and i was not wearing a helmet or gloves well when we arrived to the top i decided to go down it first and I kicked the ground to get some speed and I was going FAST
oh my.. I am not liking where this is going
yeah so when I reached max speed I got to near the bottom of the hill when I hit a pretty big rock or something and I flew off the long board and hit my head and I also planted my right wrist to break my fall but when i planted my wrist my entire body and the weight rested on the wrist and I rotated on it well when I got up I had a bit of a ringing noise in my ear and I looked at my hand and the hand was rotated about 90 degrees inward and I found out later that i basically shattered my radius bone My friends saw me get wrecked and my friend saw my wrist and they both screamed
I would have too oh my.. did you go to the doctor back then?
yeah i did I knew that this was not something that will fix by it self
yeah it was twisted 90 degrees!
hahaha but before I went to the ER I told my friend to pop the wrist back in because again i did not want the ER doctor bill
*facepalm
yep... my friend couldnt do it because my hand was too discusting that it made him weak and quizzy
lol
yeah they put me to sleep ASAP so that they can pop my wrist back in and then I got surgery and put a plate in my wrist so that the bone was put back together
man.... yes you are officially insane
