Celebrate Earth Day today by committing to remember and cherish the Earth every
other day of the year. Everyday should be Earth Day. Never ever forget
that we live on a big spaceship and that if we continue to screw it up
we have nowhere else to go.
Frankly, I am a little less than optimistic that the human race has the wherewithal to do the right thing when it comes to preserving and nurturing our one and only home. Every day that I work the registers in the garden center and check out hundreds of pounds of insecticide, chemical fertilizers and weed killers that unthinking and uncaring people are going to take home and broadcast willy-nilly around their yards I get less encouraged about the future of our planet. It's very depressing and it is very difficult not yell "Are you crazy?" at them.
