Leaving Permanently For Mars And Not Returning Advised By Renowned Scientists

Dec. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- A finalist in the Indie Excellence 2007 book awards, "Take Back the Earth – The Dumb, Greedy Incompetents Have Trashed It" may be Swiatek’s most important book. Wise men have stated that the earth does not belong to us. Yet, governments and corporations have acted as though there was no end to the resources of the land or in the oceans. Over the last half century, our planet has been besieged by the disasters of Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Bhopal, Love Canal, the Exxon Valdez, Katrina, and the list seems to never end. These disasters have devastated the land, sea and air as well as done great harm to the people in the north and south hemispheres. Unless we take action now, we’ll have no place to live. Fortunately, we have the ingenuity to come up with solutions and "Take Back the Earth."
