“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

May this dress remind us how actions now will affect our future!

It is easier to build strong children 

than to repair broken men [and women]. 

Frederick Douglass

I believe that it is PARAMOUNT that we consider the repercussions of our

government's actions in regards to separating families. 

The current administration is creating at least two generations of traumatized and

damaged people which will be our responsibility.  

We live in a global community and no matter where 

these children and parents end up, 

their pain and distress will affect us, 

the United States of America, and

we will only have ourselves to blame. 

I feel so strongly that the current actions on our borders are

unamerican and inhumane and must be stopped.

Also that we, as a country, need to stand up against these 

menacing policies and commit to helping and healing those

families who have been used as pawns in the bully regime that 

tweets out of the White House.

 

peace-

love, mom
