You're really good at finding these depressing ecologial news stories aren't you!?!? LOL!!
We can only hope that the governments around the world, especially the United States, begin to take such stories seriously!!

Artificial reefs are helping out somewhat, but it's sad some places are being destroyed..

Yes, but, unfortunately (although there are some), most environmental stories are bad...

So I guess Homer was ripped off when he traded his for a donut, eh?

Here is some good news: http://www.weyerhaeuser.com/ourbusi.../ourproducts/lyptus/lyptushardwoodplywood.asp

Not only is this stuff saving the rainforests, it is a beautifull hardwood that looks like cherrywood and finishes nicely.

Here is a story about derelict ships converted into reef builders: http://www.chicagotribune.com/featu...ory?coll=chi-newslocal-utl&ctrack=1&cset=true

Here is a story about the river Thames coming back to life much faster than expected: http://www.the-river-thames.co.uk/environ.htm

These are just off the top of my head.

Although it does say ("Lyptus® is quickly becoming one of the world’s most important hardwood lumbers, primarily because it represents a fully sustainable and renewable resource. ") it is sustainable, it doesn't say why (???).
