CNN : Eco Solutions : Earthworms eat toxic waste

normally if u put toxic waste on worms yes they take the toxic waste away but they just would grow at least 4 times bigger

what about the worms, just think of the poor worms lol

theyre just a bunch of worms

yeah but what if we make them go extinct? what would be there to keep the soil moist?

umm, WATER??!!!

true, but what about the countries that dont have much rain, and what if the worms go extinct.

They will have lots of food :D

but they will die, and possibly go extinct.

I don't know how it works to be honest, but it can not be any worse than those same creatures digging in the soil and drinking pond water or run off they will still be effected.

When we make a toxic mess on the basis of profit we really do a good job don't we. And then we want to go to Mars and do what dump our chemicals there?

And yes I understand what you mean and it is not a perfect solution but it is an effort to help.

Of course - I appreciate any effort to help. We've a lot of mess to clean up & worms breed well. I hope that continuing into the new Millennium we will treat our resources a bit better. Might create some jobs for all those unemployed bankers we now have.
