Earth "Day"

Why only one lousy day for Mother Earth? We a have Volunteer Week, Blind Awareness Month, Car Care Month, Emotional Overeating Awareness Month, Fresh Florida Tomatoes Month...you get the idea. The one thing we all count on every single day is good 'ole Mother Earth, and we only give her one day. A day where we make a big deal about how many tons of trash we picked up because the other 364
days of the year we were slobs and trashed her. I can't tell you how many times I've gone for walks in the woods thinking I was the first person ever to be somewhere in the middle of nowhere, only to find that some jerk with a six pack had been there first and left the cans behind. Next time you are out for a walk and you see something on the ground that doesn't belong there, please, just expend a few more seconds to bend over and pick it up. The Mother thanks you and so do I.

  2. i thoroughly agree... earth hour was another nudge... but it's going to take so much more... the respect and care need to become instinctual again...
