EARTH DAY

For those not paying attention today (22 April) is
EARTH DAY.

We need MUST to take better care of Her,
and subsequently we will be taking better care of everyone.

2011 has already been full earth-shattering events
and natural disasters across our globe...
*cough* Japan *cough, cough*

We must remember that our presence on our Mother Earth
is only temporary and we should try to make the most of it. 
 
Love instead of hating.
Respect instead of fighting.
Protect life instead of merely thinking of how to surpass or dominate.

I think we humans forget our place among God's (and the Gods') creatures...
We tell ourselves that because we are at the top of the Food Chain,
that it is our right to be there, no questions asked.

Our lives- they are a privilege and gift...
And I think with our gift of life and free will,
we should focus on leaving this world as a better place.

I know this is pretty heavy stuff for my blog but I needed to take a stand.

Here are some great places you can make a difference
by taking care of our Home and the others who live here:

&& now I'll leave you with a YouTuber's blog.
Adam is a student and environmentalist from Canada.
He is very well informed and although he hasn't blogged much this year,
these are my favorite posts he wrote in 2010.
