Celebrate & Accelerate

Earth Day is a time to celebrate gains we have made and create new visions to accelerate environmental progress. Earth Day is a time to unite around new actions. Earth Day and every day is a time to act to protect our planet.

Earthday.gov is a cooperative effort across the entire U.S. government.

If you want to get involved in a meaningful way check out the link.

Lots of grocery stores in this area, but national chains, are giving away reusable bags this week to celebrate Earth Day. A good chance to start to get away from the plastic!;)

I think it's time that stores across American stop providing plastic bags to customers, that have already done that in many parts of Europe for many years now. Seems that people don't do the right thing unless they are forced. The only grocery that I know of is in Berkeley, Ca that has done this since 1990, maybe earlier, it's a local chain called Andronico's. Of course Costco doesn't provide bags either and never has.

Now there is one outstanding important fact regarding spaceship earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it.

Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.

Remembering Earth Day everyday of the year, our lives may depend on it.

There’s no doubt in my mind, that coexistence is necessary to succeed and evolve.

The statement earlier ( Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.) is so true!

I remember the first Earth Day in 1970: I was almost twenty-one years old at the time, and I thought that I was living at the dawn of the Age of Aquarius. God help my profound naivete then, but I honestly did...

The informed opinion --- which I have learned from several sources --- is that 1985 was the point of no return, i.e. for the past twenty-four years we have been slipping, a little faster every year, into the bowels of hell. Nothing can stop the death of billions of people now. Nothing. And we have nobody but ourselves to blame for what has happened, since we were warned clearly of what would happen as early as the 1950s. But we didn't give a damn then, and now we must pay...

The reset will take place.

It is inevitable and justifiable.

Looking back or forward depending on where you are in time the death of billions of people is and will always be devastating….. But also a beginning.

A never ending cycle?

A new chance to get it right ?


Celebrate & Accelerate is the best advice I’ve heard so far.

If there Is an end result. It will be better.

Ohhhhh and Earth Day 1970. Well as I look back the old cliché ( Ignorance is bliss ) says It all :D :D

I agree the tipping point was in 85 Joe, trying to remember where I first heard it, the real question is, is it really too late?
