Rock Stacking May Harm the Earth

                    Rock Stacking is a popular activity

We’ve all seen those piles of rocks and stones on beaches, riverbeds, and in parks.  They are piles of rocks that have been stacked and placed in gravity defying shapes and spires showing perfect and improbable balance.  Enthusiasts have been stacking rocks as an art form for many years, and it is a world-wide phenomenon.  Websites are dedicated to the practice, artists promote their stacks, and many people believe the experience of stacking rocks as a path to promote environmentalism.  It is also will soon be illegal if concerned environmentalists succeed in their efforts to outlaw the practice.

If Environmentalists succeed, these signs will be common

“People just don’t realize how harmful rock stacking can be and how destructive to the global environment” explained Stacy Bufume.  “I know it appears harmless, but this activity has grown into an epidemic around the world, and it is exploding in popularity.  Every rock pile created truly disturbs the natural order of nature, frightens wildlife, and it has the potential to initiate extinction events.  We can’t even begin to measure the harmful long-term impacts of rock stacking.  We just need to stop it, or at least regulate it right now before it is too late.”  Stacy Bufume is the spokesperson for Save Our Beautiful Earth Rapidly, an organization dedicated to protecting the environment and nature from the less obvious dangers of human existence.
