> Invasive species is a terrible term, for sure, but zebra and quagga mussels have turned Lake Michigan a beautiful pure almost Aryan blue, and they've basically wiped out almost all other life in the lake... They were brought in the bilge water of freighters coming from the Black Sea, as quite a few others have been; and though it would be relatively easy to transfer the cargo of these ships to trains before they ever get to the Great Lakes, nothing is done, apparently because the US and Canada are so proud of engineering the locks of St Lawrence Seaway. Or maybe it's just because the state only thinks in terms of money, production and trade, and not of beings and balances and histories and futures. I guess the main thing is to be aware of the consequences of what one does, and of what powerful forces in out societies do, and to struggle not for purity or even Nature, but for more vital and viable tomorrows all around.
