The Butterfly Effect Response

When I initially read this article, I didn't agree with almost everything it had to say. I understand that everything we do has an effect on our surroundings, but a butterfly flapping its wings? I just don't see how this would cause a tornado in Texas. It sounds ridiculous to me. Maybe this is only an analogy but it sounded like the author was dead serious. I know that things we do have a ripple effect and it only spreads out. I agree with the author when he begins to talk about what humans are doing to the ecosystem. We are causing massive amounts of pollution, which in turn, has terrible effects on the world. The air we breathe becomes contaminated, along with our water supply. This is partly due to dumping trash into the ocean. Everything we do in life has a chain reaction, whether it be positive or negative. Many things are preventable, and there are increasing efforts to better the world we live in. Although the butterfly effect is far fetched in my opinion, I do agree that everything we do has an impact on something or someone.
