I enjoyed this post and all the ones from the meme. It was a great idea you had and some good writing came from it, along with all the good reading on the book suggestions. Your suggestions today are helpful. I have been to Costa Rica and was there on a building project in the rain forest. The project centered on eco-tourism. And I did donate two old cell phones. It feels good to help others while helping the environment too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-12033259620994997962011-04-24T08:10:01.752-04:002011-04-24T08:10:01.752-04:00@Ginger Hi Ginger.

They like the corn litter. At first, they tried to eat it, but then they figured it out.

Somewhere along the line--perhaps during the period of industrialization--we lost touch with the earth. And our thirst for machines, technology, and conveniences propelled us way beyond the natural, the land. I feel as passionate as you, and I hope that, in time, the movement towards more sustainable living becomes the norm.

But a lot are not. There is a big divide between eco-friendly gardeners, and 'main-stream' gardeners.<br /><br />I'm thinking about things like using not slug pellets or insecticide sprays, making space for wildlife, letting some grass grow long, and leaving some areas a bit untidy. Practices like those are still an anathema to possibly the majority of gardeners.John Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966938808921010638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-49343775025928342842011-04-22T12:02:25.977-04:002011-04-22T12:02:25.977-04:00This year, Earth Day falls on a National Holiday i...This year, Earth Day falls on a National Holiday in England. It's Good Friday. <br /><br />What this actually means is that lots of gardeners (who really ought to be Earth conscious, if anyone is) are at home running their petrol mowers, creating noise and pollution. The man next door to me had a bonfire this afternoon.<br /><br />And most striking of all are warnings on the news today, saying that air pollution in London, has just reached an eight year high. It's giving a health warning to susceptible groups of people.<br /><br />Those who are interested in educating the public about environmental matters have got a very long way to go.John Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966938808921010638noreply@blogger.com
