TIMELESS WIND: The wind has blown for eternity, Never looking back, never giving in. Never staying long, always running on, Always running endlessly. (1)

摘要

This article was the second place paper presentation in the annual High School Youth Forum competition at the 2004 SRM Meetings in Salt Lake City, Utah. Through decades wind has been our foe, and it's been our friend. I am going to explore three points of relationships pertaining to the struggles, enhancement, and productive use of our world's natural resource, Timeless Wind. My first point looks back in history discovering the struggles during a time of hardship. If I had lived in the days of the Dirty 30's and farmed the drought land of the America's Midwest, I would have been overwhelmed by the conditions caused by the wild wind. At first there was not much to worry about, but as time went by with no rain, the situation became worse day by day. The only trees were located along creeks and streams. That meant the wind had great opportunities to sweep across the land moving the soil along with it.
