Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.- Mark Twain The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites one family. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. The earth is sacred and men and animals are but one part of it. Treat the earth with respect so that it lasts for centuries to come and is a place of wonder and beauty for our children.- Chief Seattle c. 1786 – June 7, 1866
My notes: I believe we are all connected on this planet. When one hurts (beit human or animal or tree) it affects everybody & we can feel it. Even if we don’t realize we can.

My notes & thoughts: Derived from nature. Doesn't mean natural. Super cheap mineral oil & petroleum jelly may be derived from 'natural' petroleum but the extensive processing makes them no longer able to readily break down in the environment or on the skin. Point is we need to do our homework & Educate ourselves. We need to be pro-active in not only our health but our children's & future generations. We owe it to ourselves. If a tree falls in a forest & nobody is around, will it make a sound? Of course! Humans aren’t the only creatures out there! I remember seeing this on a On Feeding America paper bag & it said “There are more trees now than there were 100 years ago” BULL & that’s why animals are moving to urban & some becoming Extinct! We were putting up our rain barrel & I got to thinking. In the olden days they HAD rain barrels. Now we are using them again. So much for technology, going back to the olden days of Conservation ‘cos of our Greed. Seems w/ all the modern technology to make “life easier & simpler”, all it does is make it more complicated & lonely.

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.- John Muir (naturalist) A farmer is a person who can get rich only if he can sell his farm to a golf club.- Unknown

If we don't start protecting the earth, the environment could be in trouble. This earth has experienced so much pollution that if we don't start doing something it will only be a matter of time before things go south for planet Earth. So much of ocean life has already died and it's a very small percentage of what's in the ocean but what people don't realize is life is precious and it's causing the glaciers to melt in antartica which is raising sea levels greatly and could cause Tsunimas and other devastating effects in the future.

Human beings have progressed by exploiting nature. If the people had not exploited the environment, we would have never come this far. Humans are not the only cause of environmental degradation, scientists believe during the age of dinosaurs', their farts also caused the global warning.

A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.- Franklin D. Roosevelt
