-Mom…I Promise To Try Harder
Wow…what a week it has been? And Our Mother Earth for a change has been in the SPOTLIGHT! You gotta admit for too..too long, we have trashed her, gutted her, overlooked or dismissed our connectedness too her, put our selfish desires before her’s and just stomped and abused her without any thoughts about her NEEDS.
Now, finally The Big ‘Cs’ gets it, there is money and lots of money to be made by utilizing our cast-off’s. What a Revelation…an Epiphany…finally the light bulb was turned on for the Big Corp’s.
Have you seen Wally’s commercial over at WALMART, about what the benefits to the environment would be if say a few million of their shoppers were to purchase certain products. The commercial is pure genius, some little ’sly devil’ is slatted for a promotion for coming up with that one. But whoever he/she was ‘you just gotta luv em’. Bold and Screaming displays like this are necessary, changes are mandatory. We must work together…ALL OF US…too make sure our children and their children have a healthy planet to call HOME a hundred years from now. This is not Science Fiction guys/gals, as they say…the future is in our hands…and it’s everyone’s responsibility.
But irregardless of what the motivation was for standing up and announcing to the world, that it’s time to make better choices, more informed choices…that step has been taken by a GIANT. If they remain a fore runner, a force in the fight to reverse the damage done to our planet…then there really is ‘hope’ for the future.
It doesn’t matter where you start…JUST START…have family and friends over for dinner more often [just think of the energy saved if 4 houses are in the dark for the evening, because they are dining with friends or family] recycle, buy second hand, have a yard sale, turn lights off in rooms that are not occupied, don’t leave the water running, before you go shopping look in your closet…way, way back in your closet, use less toxic cleaning products…OMGosh vinegar and baking soda have a huge list of uses. JUST START…
A blue sky, green grass, oceans and lakes, rain forests and evergreens, ‘just love those magnolia trees’, mountains and mountain lions, butterflies and ants, dolphins and boa’s, are all really beautiful, majestic, intricate components of this space and irreplaceable residents of this unihabitat…let’s keep em’.
We Can Do This!
