Most of us go through life thinking just of our needs and our wants, our future, our desires, not realising how much each
one of us is connected to each other and to our planet. Everthing that we do or refrain from doing has some kind of result
and the ripples from it affect many others.
Most of us are so caught up in the material world, not realising that keeping up with the Joneses by millions of people
plays havoc with the environment. It is time to check our actions and to shed our apathy and ask ourselves what can I do for
the health, safety and long life of Our Planet? On this page you will find links to helpful hints and some sound advice
Before buying the next thing you truly do not need reflect a bit on these words:
Producing Waste
produced today
obsolete tomorrow
making mountains of waste
Have We Forgotten
Have we forgotten a time not so long ago
when all was held in worship and considered a gift
and our soil was walked upon in the footsteps
of wolf and bear
all creatures big and small
and the ones who listened
to the spirited song of nature
and gave back
what was taken only for survival
how far have we veered
off that path
and walked against the wind
instead of with it
how much have we taken
just for the sheer joy
we have claimed so much
and considered it ours
when all along
we were like thieves in the night
taking and never replacing
depleting the planet
as it was known
a time not so long ago
