Happy Earth Day

Saturday, April 21, 2007


"We need in the next twenty-five years or so, to do something never before done. We need to consciously redesign the entire material basis of our civilization. The model we replace it with must be dramatically more ecologically sustainable, offer large increases in prosperity for everyone on the planet, and not only function in areas of chaos and corruption, but also transform them. That alone is a task of heroic magnitude, but there's an additional complication: we only get one shot."
"...If we face an unprecedented planetary crisis, we also find ourselves in a moment of innovation unlike any that has come before...we don't need a miracle to win this race; we need a movement. We need millions more people who are committed to doing their part to embrace good ideas, find new solutions in their own work, and live and share what they learn."
-From "WorldChanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century"

    I didn't even know it was today, as it's not written on my calendar. :(

    Earth deserves 365 days, not just the one!

    Just a P.S. - Have you seen the April issue of Canadian Living Magazine? Almost all of it is dedicated to "going green". Really interesting reading (I have a subscription - a little piece of home!)
