Earth Day -- All Day Today

In recognition of Earth Day 2008 I would like to remind and encourage everyone to recycle, reuse and re-purpose everything you can. I purchased some cloth bags from Dillons and use them at all the stores. They are wonderful for more reasons than just cutting back on plastic and paper bag usage. They are far sturdier than plastic and easier to tote than paper. I keep mine in the trunk of my car so I have them whenever I go shopping.
I would like to encourage everyone to take time out to take the road less traveled to marvel at the wonders of our world. To slow down and appreciate what we have and learn what can be done to preserve it. Take a walk, or a bike ride where there is fresh air and learn what can be done to keep it fresh.
Realize the beauty in small wonders, you can't see these from inside your car.
That a weed is only a flower/plant out of place. Dandelions are Gods creation just as much as roses. Man is a blight upon the face of earth far worse than the lowly flowers that are considered weeds. The litter they leave causes no harm, is not polluting or hazardous.

Remember the joy of the wind in your face and barefeet in the summer sand.
Take time to stop and enjoy a sunset and find ways to be good stewards of this great blue ball.

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.

Oh, I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.
But will you keep on building higher 'til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Where Do The Children Play?
