Welcome to Remedial Ecology!
 Most would say that it all started with the industrial revolution - which had its roots in Europe and then spread quickly throughout most of the world. Mankind had evolved to an extent that our actions could be felt as harmful effects within the biosphere - the envelope surrounding earth that supports all life.
To hear topics like global warming, superfunds to clean up toxic waste, air quality indexes, and the pollution of our water supply - one thing is clear - these conditions were entirely a result of mankind's activities on planet earth. In our rush to improve our standards of living, the world's population have been very shortsighted about the effects of our actions.
 Bottom line - humans have really messed up our planet earth - which naturalists call our mother earth - Gaia. But our tresspasses don't have to be final - and through enlightened thought - we owe much repentence to our planet - and a movement is forming in which we are starting to find out ways to fix what we've broke.
Remedial ecology is the notion that with the right tools and knowhow we can repair the damage that's been done. By using bioremediative processes, for example, we can use genetically engineered microorganisms to remove toxic or unwanted chemicals from the environment. With advances in nanotechnology - there are action plans sprouting up all over the globe regarding how we can not just repair our environment, but also assure that the delicate balance found in our biosphere remains free to evolve naturally - without strong disruptive technologies that can harm our survival rate as a species.
Welcome to remedial ecology, a timely website devoted to bringing the lay person interesting articles and relevent news items covering this process of "cleaning up our environment. Please bookmark this website as a valuable resource which will chronicle our "call to action" as we ask our mother earth to forgive us our trespasses with living amends. Living amends are first saying that we are sorry, but more importantly - making sure that our actions don't cause harm to our Mother Earth in the future. Welcome!
