Environmental quotes always broaden my thoughts, expand my mind, contemplate and appreciate the world around me.
Here are a few quotes that I recently came upon. I hope you enjoy.
When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. ~John Muir
Man is a complex being: he makes deserts bloom – and lakes die. ~Gil Stern
There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this planet. ~Brooke Medicine Eagle
Modern technology
Owes ecology
An apology.
~Alan M. Eddison
The difference between animals and humans is that animals change themselves for the environment, but humans change the environment for themselves. ~Ayn Rand
On March 28th from 8:30-9:30 p.m I will be placing my vote by switching off my lights, laptop and anything else that consumes power in my home in honor of 2009 Earth Hour.
It is time for all of us as global neighbors to stand up, switch off and take action! It is time to protect our home, Earth. We only have one of her, and she has taken abuse for too long. As a result climates have been changing and severe damage has occurred.
What can you do?
Join me and millions of others in turning off your lights for one hour on March 28th and visit www.voteearth2009.org to learn more about what you can do to cast your vote for Earth!
You ask why is this post going up midway through the week? I say because it’s not too late to get involved and celebrate!
What is National Wildlife Week?
It is a time to take notice of the beauty around us and the importance of protecting and conserving what is left.It is a time to honor nature and the bounties she provides for us.
What can You do to get involved?
It’s as easy as getting outdoors! Hike, bird watch, animal watch, learn to identify a new plant; any of these and more.
You have the opportunity to not only participate yourself, but to get those around you excited as well. The National Wildlife Week website has a mountain of information and activities for all ages.
In this world we shouldn’t need a special week to commemorate what is gifted to us. Everyday should be a wildlife celebration.
