Our world is full of turmoil, floods, volcanoes, earthquakes, famine, drought, and there is lots of press about it, and everyone nods their heads and agrees that the planet is in trouble, but..... what action are YOU taking to make a difference? You don't have to give up everything and go and live in nature (nice as that would be) but how hard is it to recycle just ONE type of waste in your house? More would be great of course........Or look at your personal care products and what you are using and putting into our waterways......... Or making a difference by starting a community garden for an underprivilleged area you live in?
We all say we are too busy...... too busy to tip the scale in our favour and ensure our survival on the planet? Whose life have you touched today, or what have you done to make the world a better place to live in?
As a famous Cree Indian Prophecy quotation goes:
"Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten".

Did you know?Generally, consumer bathroom tissue paper is bleached with chlorine. During the manufacturing process, chlorine is used to remove a natural wood adhesive called lignin from the paper pulp. This yields a stronger and whiter paper product. But the use of chlorine creates dangerous toxins and extremely carcinogenic dioxins.
