A Florida toddler has lost both her legs below the knee after her father
accidentally ran her over with a lawn mower Wednesday night.
WFTS reported the Palm Harbor father, Jeremiah Nugent, on the riding mower
making it all the way to the driveway before he realized what happened.
According to authorities, Nugent bringing the tractor into the garage when his
wife told him he was about to drive over something. Putting the mower in
reverse, he accidentally ran over the toddler. Another report said the mother
tried to alert him but that he didn't hear her and kept going.
Both of the 2-year-old's ankles were cut off by the mower's blades. A hand was
damaged as well but only part was removed.
WFTS reported police saying the girl was airlifted to a hospital in Tampa and
that reattaching her feet was not possible. Firefighters had to treat the
parents for hysteria.

Unprecedented record breaking heat and tornadoes around the world in 2012...
with temperature changes in May which varied 70 degrees or more show the
increasing weather instability created by record breaking destruction of greenery for
cattle ranches, roads, buildings and illegal war bombings.
2012 and 2013 have had record breaking heat and cold. Global heating is also global
freezing.
How to cool the earth:
1. save trees in many ways
2. avoid deforesting products: wood, newspapers, buy recycled, cotton, or rice
paper
3 .... fruit is best for the planet, animal flesh is worst
4 Every blade of grass is a mini air conditioner..
5 Every tree invokes rain by evaporation which creates mist and then clouds
Nonmowing turns empty lots

Every year zillions of tree seedlings are shredded by mowers,
harvesters, and prevented from reforesting billions of acres in the world.
In 2003 through now, the world has seen drought, floods, famine, fire,
mudslides, hurricanes, tornados and other disasters created by the unprecedented
destruction of trees around the world. Trees are nature's weather stabilizers.
We need trillions of trees.. new trees.
UN agencies have said reduced or ended lawnmowing and treecutting will slow
down global heating. The 1990's EPA published legal briefs available without
cost to
those fighting compulsory mowing ordinances. Highway departments have found
that bushes are better than mowed median strips.
The government of Thailand has banned logging.

I: ENVIRONMENTAL (THE REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANIPULATION)
]1. REFORESTATION When one stops mowing, land becomes meadow and then thicket
and then woods. reforesting the world.
2. OXYGEN CREATION This extra greenery creates oxygen.The average tree creates
5 pounds of oxygen daily.
3. AIR PURIFICATION More greenery purifies the air through leaf filtration
a.particulate matter b. car fumes c. noxious gases d. other airborn toxins.
Removal of carbon dioxide by plants ameliorates pollution.
4. TEMPERATURE STABILIZATION TO OFFSET GLOBAL WARMING Warms the world's winters
and cools the summers. There is a 50 degree difference between 70 degree
equatorial rainforest and 120 degree desert. Each blade of grass is a little air
conditioner. A world without drought, flood, famine, freezes, and killer heat
can be eliminated by literally covering the world with trees.
5. RAIN INVOCATION Greenery calls down rain. Bayard Webster of the NY Times
wrote that each mature tree evaporates 40 gallons of moisture daily (much
greater amounts for older trees.) All greenery is involved in the raincycle.The
drought and consequent starvation in N. Korea was related to the cutting of
nearly all trees for fuel.
6. DEW PRESERVATION More plants preserve dew. Not only do greenspires and
leaves act as masts around which dew can gather, but the more greenery the
longer the dew lasts.
7. NOISE BUFFERING Leaf volume weaves a noise buffer which screens out
unpleasant traffic
8. NOISE PREVENTION Ends the peace-fracturing sound of the lawnmower. Some
communities have noise ordinances which prevent mowing during normal sleeping
hours.
9. VISUAL BEAUTY Multiplies the beauty of diversity
10. FRAGRANCE Multiplies the fragrance in the air.
11. HEALING GREEN Nonmowing creates optical healing bycreating more greenery.
Research has proven that looking on the jadeand forest greens reduces heartbeat
and creates peace.
12. LANDFILL ECONOMY Letting lawns grow wild reduces pressure onlandfills..by
not adding leaves to overburdenedsystems (and saves the fuel and wages of
collectionreleasing workers for the labor of their hearts). (NPR Sept
1:methanegases leach from landfill through water into basements) As the
worldevolves away from treekilling, sawdust piles which are a byproductof the
lumber industry will be removed, making the earth safer forchildren.
13. FUEL CONSERVATION Conserves fuel a. unused inunused mowersb. As evergreen
trees break cold winter winds andshroud dwellings they are natural insulation.
14. HYDROCARBON REDUCTION Prevents hydrocarbon moweremission from polluting the
air. Many media outlets are passing ontheEPA recommendation that lawns not
bemowed when there is great humidity and heat. Hydrocarbons createozonealerts.
15. CARBON DIOXIDE Greenery which takes in carbondioxide and breathes out
oxygen reduces gases toxic to humans.
16. TORNADO PREVENTION Unstable heat is the mainfactor in tornados. Greenery
which reduces the temperature 30 degreesin forest areas prevents tornados.
17. MUDSLIDE PREVENTION The roots of living plantsabsorb great amounts of water
and prevent mudslides.
18. FLOOD PREVENTION A. On river banks and everywhere, tree, plant, bush,and
vine roots are flood preventers. As David Kidd of Canton, planter of more than a
million trees has stated, the bigger and older the tree the more work it does.
(The 900 year old oaks with their huge diameters are a lot more precious to
Mother Earth than skinny young trees. http://www.freetree.org/ B. Ohio Public
Radio David C. Barnett Sept 9th: reported on reduction of impervious surface by
reducing concrete and adding greenery. (The hard asphalt, concrete, and rooftops
create more runoff and flooding.) C. Bricks and stones in roads are better for
the environment than are concrete and asphalt. They allow rain through the
inter-brick space and have less blistering heat. Angel strips not devilstrips
(Planting grape trellises over highways re-greens the earth and creates food.)
19. DESERTIFICATION PREVENTION
Only reforestation can prevent desertification. This is the conclusion of
Patrick Velasquez of US Agency For International Development and most other
environmentalists. We used to think a pine cone was one seed, but apparently it
is hundreds.
20. CHEMICAL POLLUTION REDUCTION Radio network show Public Interest October 7
featuring Rodale author: Chemically treated lawns are grass high on drugs.:
Fertilizer has toxic byproducts forthe land and water. Rodale, Emmaus
Pennsylvania, USA 18049 is oneleader in the organic movement.
21. FASTEST CLEANUP OF TOXIC DUMPS
Green island sanctuaries of unmolested plants,insects, and wildlife are a
protection against the biotech manipulations of the environment.
22. WATERSHED PROTECTION The more greenery, plants, vines, trees, and
bushes..the more the watershed, reservoirs, and lakes and ponds, brooks and
streams are protected.a. Arsenic is a byproduct of the pressed wood industry.
Arsenic is poisonous in the waters, and like other industrial pollutants such as
mercury, chromium and polychlorinated biphenols is concentrated in the flesh of
fishes. http://www.nofishing.net/ http://www.pcrm.org/ http://www.ivu.org/
23. BIODIVERSITY Nonmowing or letting God be the landscaper createsbiodiversity
and its many benefits (and benefirs) rather thanmonoculture. (Loggers caused the
death of David Chain, Earth First tree activist. 707 923 2114 Andy Caffrey).
Mowing with machine harvesters,
ride on mowers, manual or power mowers destroys sapling trees, the
cocoons of future butterflies, food sources of birds etc. etc.
24. FIRE PREVENTION In March of 2001, widescale drought in the NW had been
reported. Destruction of greenery is one cause of this. Trees'evaporation is
necessary in cloud formation. Fires have destroyed untold tens of thousands of
square miles of green beings and resident animals.
25. FREE FOOD
Fruit and nut trees with grape and bean vines spaced among the trees can yield
450,000 lbs. per acre. (Animal flesh yields a maximum 100 to 1000 pounds per
acre.) Ted Steinberg writes that in the US alone an area the size of Florida
is devoted to unproductive lawns.
26. WATER CONSERVATION: Unmowed areas do not need watering.. they are self
contained systems. Nor do they need recycling. Most lawns
are watered for growth
and then the growth is cut and
discarded.
27. INSECTICIDE AND HERBICIDE PREVENTION: Carpet lawn enthusiasts pollute the
environment with insecticides and herbicides in some cases.
28. METHANE GAS and toxic gases are purified by leaf action.
29. RADIATION
The more greenery, the more leaves, the more stems
.. the more absorption of radiation
