At first blush, it’s doubtful that most would create a financial linkage with this interesting problem. Whether it’s infinite liquidity to bailout a failing system and damn the consequences to benefit the few over the many or the sacrifice of nature for our amusement or entertainment, the overriding constant remains the human ego. Ego, the perception that I or we are greater than the sum of the parts, creates many of the problems that plague society. Many of the real treasures in life can only be seen through ego-less eyes.
The tradition of Friday night football on the island of Kauai has been disrupted by an unusual culprit: Young seabirds migrating to the ocean mistake stadium lights for the moon and stars, causing them to become disoriented, drop from the sky and fall prey to cats.
At issue is a bird called the Newell's shearwater, which numbered about 80,000 in the mid-1990s. Its population has plunged 75 percent in recent years as Kauai grew in size and added more lights that confuse the birds.
