Why is soil erosion important?

In my opinion or point of view, soil erosion symbolizes something just as important as greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, or an epidemic disease that could potentially take the lives of people such as the bird flu due to the fact that the overall longitudinal effects that it can cause to our living environmental factors. Furthermore, when the erosion of the soil occues, the detrimental effects include increased eutrophication. In addition, land can no longer be used for crop growth, or for feeding different types of animals. Moreover, whenver land can lose its ability to fertilize. Additonally, there would be a lowered income for farmers. Not to mention, there would be fewer plants that are capable of growing which will in then lead to even more erosion happening. Furthermore, the environment suffer in an immense way due to the fact that more eco-friendly trees and plants will be torn and taken down. Above all, enormous amounts of degradation of the soil will cause starvation for many people. When this happens, many people will have no choice, but only move and live in another country or place of stay. Moreover, the deteriorated top part of the soil will create abundant amounts of sediments occuring in rivers, which will in then cause the flooding of river banks. Furthermore, often and frequent flooding will occur. On an end note, soil erosion will even cause damage of the areas that are used for the breeding of different kinds of fish.

ATWTTB (And The Waters Turned to Blood) Foreword

In the Foreword section of the book titled "And The Waters Turned to Blood", the Jorgensen family had and suffered leg tighting or leg contractions and after walking, Jorgensen family's hands and legs were like on fire or had an extremely burning sensation in their hands and legs. In addition, the Jorgensen family suffered and had insomnia or unable to fall asleep and had signs of several sclerosis or the unusual hardening of the tissues. On the contrary, it was not the multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, some people thought the disorder the Jorgensen were having or suffering through was a disorder that affected the central nervous system because they wanted to find a reason for the pain they were suffering. On the other hand, some people theorized or believed that the Jorgensen family definitely had previous exposure to a deadly or fatal toxic substance. Moreover, it could possibly be because the stream that the Jorgensen family traveled to that was located in North Carolina was filled or contaminated with some sort of fish that was dead. Not to mention, some doctors diagnosed their pain and suffering as an absence seizure. On an end note, the Jorgensen family is certain that there is definitely something deadly located somewhere on the waters in and of North Carolina.
