Mother Earth is a great gift we share & we shouldn't take her for granted - even more, we should honor her by being thoughtful of all living things.

They pass the first seven plants before picking to ensure there will be enough for the next seven generations. I wish more people were open to learning what the natives could teach us. I recycle, diving into our own dumpster to dig out what my husband throws out. I hug trees and want to grow a garden this year now that I'm home. My in-laws think I'm one of the biggest weirdo's they know. But know they are starting to see my wisdom as they have grandchildren who are learning at school about conservation and recycling. Oh, I'm still weird because I appreciate all living things EXCEPT MOSQUITOES and try to stay in my heart. I keep telling people the earth doesn't need us to survive, but we sure as hell need her! Thank you for your post. You have done more than you realize! I learned so much from the Sioux about conservation.

If everyone did their part and educate each other. Schools need to teach the little ones the art of conservation, of recycling, of respect for all living things. Teach them hands on practices of growing some of your own food, even if it just a window ledge herb garden. They will soon get the idea that one cannot take without giving back. The kids though are easy to teach...adults are not as receptive. They are sometimes unwilling to change and therein lies part of the problem. Vi Great piece.

It looks as though you are doing your part. It's hard not to drive when you have to get to work, so one person can not do it all. And the change has to start somewhere.

Five times? This is new to me. Can you explain? I agree with you wholeheartedly! :)
