“We are at a unique stage in our history. Never before have we had such an awareness of what we are doing to the planet, and never before have we had the power to do something about that. Surely we all have a responsibility to care for our Blue Planet. The future of humanity and indeed, all life on earth, now depends on us.” 

David Attenborough

introducing 'waste not wednesday 's ...

“The environment is where we all meet; 

where we all have a mutual interest; 

it is the one thing all of us share.”

-Lady Bird Johnson

I am not sure if it because of our current environment-hating administration or the amount of pollution and waste that I see on a daily basis, but I feel like we all need to take more steps to ensure the health and future of Mother Earth. There are so many big and little actions that each of us can take to improve our environment now and for generations to come.  So I am planning to post on this blog, eco-friendly quotes, and ideas on Wednesdays.

let's be better stewards of mother earth!
love, mom

It's the little things citizens do.

That's what will make the difference. 

My little thing is planting trees.

Remembering Wangari Maathai, First African Woman to Win Nobel Prize



Wangari Maathai was an amazing woman who did amazing things just following her heart, doing what she knew in her heart was the right thing to do.  She empowered women and fought for the environment.  I highly recommend that you learn more about her and her work, the Green Belt Movement!
