Mother Earth has come through some very turbulent events from its beginning. Nothing on the scale of Human impact has had a more devastating effect on this planet. If we humans are to survive, and generations to come depend on our actions, then we must change.
Our children need us to make the right choices. If we cant do it for them, who will we do it for?.
Never before has the challenge been so great Never before has the greed for natural resources had a detrimental affect on all other species. We need to act swiftly if we are to survive this greatest of challenges yet. Mother Earth can heal over time but today that time is very short. Future generations are shaped by our hands.
If we fail them, then the extinction of our species is inevitable.
Act now - they need our determination to continue.........

Through out the years we have been becoming more and more earth conscience than before.With all the new technologies we have ways to correct polution and environmental hazards and sometimes to the destruction of our own economy by too many restrictions.Many countries do not have as tight of epa regulations as the united states and I still wonder why we are the bad guys when it comes to enviromental issues.No one intentionally wants to pollute our earth and nature,however it can be our own demise if not blown out of proportion.

"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."
— Gaylord Nelson
former governor of Wisconsin, co-founder of Earth Day
Treat the earth well.
It was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,
we borrow it from our Children.
Ancient Indian Proverb
When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money.
Cree Prophecy

Human beings are more intelligent than animals. But animals are not destroying the environment they live in.
