8 Billion Reasons

8 Billion reasons why the gorillas must die

8 Billion reasons why the elephants will die

8 Billion tragedies

For all of them.

Opher 13.4.2018

8 Billion Human beings chopping down trees, spraying pesticide, burning wood, hunting animals, eating ivory, culverting ditches, producing sewage, filling dustbins, buying goods, mining, peeing, shopping, driving down roads, building houses, flying around the world, eating, drinking, playing and having sex.

8 Billion reasons why the rhino and elephant have no chance at all.

Nick Harper Brilliant!!! – at the wonderful Ropery in Barton 2014

Posted on by Opher

I’ve seen Nick tens of times in different venues all over the country but rarely as good as this!!

This is a new mature Nick, slightly more restrained, less chaotic and loud. A more thoughtful, humorous Nick.

Right from the start he set up a delightful relationship with the audience who warmed to his anecdotes, asides and humour.

Nick was in fine form, bending notes, doing impossible chords, mad tuning in songs, changing broken strings without pause all complete with a voice that soared into impossible heights. It was magical.

The new songs sounded great as well! And that album is out next week!

If you haven’t seen him recently – look out for him coming your way – it’s not one to miss!!

If you are unfamiliar check out his stuff on Amazon and purchase the great CD ‘Seed’ to begin with. You’ll end up with them all!

Check him out on You-Tube!

Without invertebrates there is no food for our wild birds or mammals. Our soil is replenished by invertebrates. Our plants are pollinated by them. They are integral to all life on this planet.

The human population has become out of control.

Our use of pesticides has become suicidal.

Read about a Biologist’s witness accounts of what is happening around the world in his frightening book – Anthropocene Apocalypse at Amazon.

If you are worried about the environmental degradation and the population explosion then you may like to read my new book ‘the Anthropocene Apocalypse’. It tells the story of the despoiling of nature all around the world, the cruelty and thoughtlessness as witnessed by a biologist.

If you are dismayed by the population explosion you may find this book relevant. It has the solutions
