Echo

When taking the field trip to ECHO and learning about how significantly that little facility has been able to affect lives across the world was amazing. The fun started immediately when I stepped off the bus because I saw the pond. Being a angler, I could identify bass slamming things on top of the water and all were of good size. This was worth the drive from the get go. Then learning how third world culture's dehydrate food and create their own fuel source from animal compost were quite amazing. Living in the states we take for granted the idea of running water. Hell, on campus we have some of the most cleanest water in the area delivered through our water faucet and we all drink bottled water. But I don't feel guilty because America is not the only one doing this, thats why these are called third world countries. When a nation reaches a certain point of prosperity its population takes things for granted and this happens in nature too. A true example of this on the most simplest terms are these bait fish called grunts, or better known as "snook candy." In Ft. Myers if you can catch a grunt you are guaranteed a snook down here because they can't resist them due to grunt scarcity here. In, St. Pete, they give them to you when you buy bait fish and thats because they're so plentiful it doesn't mean crap to snook. This being said no way in hell, if the snook could speak, would Ft. Myers snook start crying and complaining about how St. Pete snook are glutenous and start a movement because they take grunts for granted, no they would swim their ass up to St. Pete and eat some grunts! Animals are migratory unless they are able to manipulate the environment for their sustainability.
