Unfortunately the pillage of the earth is not always as big and as headline grabbing as the Valdez disaster. I rage every time I see a new house built where there was a lovely oxygen producing forest. It seems to be happening a lot around our home lately. More of the nature we love is being destroyed in dribs and drabs all over the planet in the name of development... I like that the green movement focuses on the small things we can do because if everyone tiptoed around our world change would be easier to attain. Now if only big business would be held accountable for their huge feet! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting on my blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-968327185429565952007-12-29T14:06:00.000+00:002007-12-29T14:06:00.000+00:00I think you're right with all your points there Tr...I think you're right with all your points there Tracey...Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-2899035559377868772007-12-29T12:01:00.000+00:002007-12-29T12:01:00.000+00:00Sounds like a great read!

And unfortunately the world generally continues to ignore important environmental messages despite the mass of information available in the public domain.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.quietpaws.com" REL="nofollow">Tracey</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-30435296802782730262007-12-29T10:11:00.000+00:002007-12-29T10:11:00.000+00:00Poet with a Day Job - I did a science degree becau...Poet with a Day Job - I did a science degree because I loved science and then was put off a career in that field because of the lack of respect i saw for nature (and because my lab skills weren't up to it!)<BR/><BR/>Selma - I'm with you there.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-27193448845096832222007-12-29T05:27:00.000+00:002007-12-29T05:27:00.000+00:00Oh God, sometimes I can't bear to think about how ...Oh God, sometimes I can't bear to think about how our greed is destroying the planet. The images of those birds coated in oil after the Exxon Valdez disaster still haunt me. Thank you so much for bringing this to everyone's attention. It is very important we keep pushing the point. I don't want my son or his children to live in some apocalyptic kind of world in the future. I want to go outside when I'm 80 and hear the birds sing. Is that too much to ask?<BR/>-SelmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-53748659321621249592007-12-28T23:39:00.000+00:002007-12-28T23:39:00.000+00:00God, that sounds terrific.
