Be Good to Mother Earth !
This site was created in honor of Earth Day 2014 and is a resource for information relating to environmental concerns. Almost five years later many of us are more concerned than ever about the state of our planet and difficulties facing our dear Mother Nature and planet Earth. If you have a particular area of environmental interest, please use the Search box below.
Most of us claim to love nature and feel we are concerned about protection of our world's environmental health, but we have to ask ourselves - do our actions really reveal this to be true? World population explosion, greed and the commercialization of our earth cultures have placed enormous stress on our world's health, life, and resources. This site hopes to offer a few tips:
No. 1 - Don't mess with Mother Nature. She does it better than corporations messing in her domain looking for profits.
No. 2 - Don't expect Mother Nature to "understand" - We must be responsible to clean up our mess, even though in the past we may have not understood the repurcussions of our actions. Once we are aware of our mistakes and transgressions, we must act to change course and act more responsibly.
No. 3 - Even a Mother has her limits. When we misbehave she lets off a little steam! Because we have stressed her to her limits!
No. 4 - We must make amends and take responsibility - Let's help Mother Nature heal her wounds (before she disowns us and kicks us out of the house).
Need I say more? We are on the verge of being kicked out of the house (earth). Some of us have not realized it yet. Denial is comforting and some think they will be forgiven any transgression. Unfortunately, it just isn't so. There is a beginning, middle and an end to everything. We as a civilization have impacted our environment so very much that we are now hastening the end time for this planet as a place of sustenance for human and animal life. Do we really not care about this?
Is it possible to remain optimistic in the face of melting polar ice caps and rapidly progressing global warming and climate change, not to mention the increasing toxification of our planet and loss of fresh water resources, threatening all species of life. - Optimism can be a wonderful thing when it is based in a common sense willingness to take action when required. If optimism is merely based in denial, it may allow you to momentarily feel better, but the world may be crashing around you. We have been warned. It is time to take action.
Since we are all in this together, like it or not, and no matter what happens, we will have plenty of company - a few billion people worth of company, either falling together or rising together. We can choose to care about "our children and future generations" - or not... But we are now seeing major changes in our own lifetimes, and we see it every day on the news.
There are many people asking questions and taking actions. Is it enough? Not without you too. Now that we are all pretty much "in a pickle." - Ask the Question - WHAT CAN I DO?
