Earth Day 2013



Earth Day is April 22nd, this year. Two years ago I was given a Dog Wood sapling on Earth Day, that I've happily nurtured and just recently the little bugger was re-potted by my husband, to a nicer and bigger pot. One day it'll find a home when I decide where I'd like to put her for life. 

I also love our new town. They give recycling buckets and pick up once a week. Ours is always full :-)
 

Tread lightly on Mother Earth for we only have one. ~ Author C. A. Salo

Every day is Earth Day.  ~Author Unknown

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.  ~Native American Proverb

For 200 years we've been conquering Nature.  Now we're beating it to death.  ~Tom McMillan, quoted in Francesca Lyman, The Greenhouse Trap, 1990

Humankind has not woven the web of life.  We are but one thread within it.  Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.  All things are bound together.  All things connect.  ~Chief Seattle, 1855

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.  ~Cree Indian Proverb    

Have a great Wednesday and read lots!!
