It’s heartbreaking for all of us who live, work and play along the lagoon to see how the quality of the water has declined. To understand how we got here we must confront the brutal truth. Go beyond searching the branches and acknowledge the roots to find the answers. Those roots start with us. How we live. How we changed the land. How we dispose of our waste. As a human community, we have become disconnected from nature. We have forgotten that our lives, our economy, our health, and even the food we eat, are all connected to the land. The responsibility and the ability to change lies within the hands of each individual in the community and their daily decisions. Remember that choosing not to decide or act is still making a decision. It still leads to an outcome.
