When my children were young, while on a bike hike, we came upon two eagles atop a rock pile on a dirt road. Seeing those majestic birds at close range was an experience words can't describe. Later that year, in the autumn, there were "fish kills" in the surrounding lakes, which was in reality, chemical dumping. After that, we saw no more eagles here for many years. Within the last decade, the eagles have again been living in this area of Michigan.
Recently, a citizen's action group fought to protect the eagles from wind turbine machines which have reportedly killed raptors, including eagles, who fly into the machine blades which travel 200 mph at the tips....
Because of that and other issues, citizens fought to stop the energy corporation from putting the large turbines in the natural area full of eagles and other wildlife.
Help save wildlife by ending the use of pesticides and by preserving and restoring habitat. Green energy can be done on a smaller scale that does not hurt human health and kill wildlife.
