Should we treat it well, or use it as our lovely little dump...one person at a time.

"Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children."

 

Sometimes as I read this (it is part of my signature) it makes me sad.  Very sad.  (Sometimes my eyes just scan right over it, one more catch phrase, one more blah blah)

Because honestly, how many people think this way.  Do YOU?  When you go to make a purchase, do you ever think about what the effect of all that plastic and paper packaging is doing to the environment, the environment that our babies will have to take a long hard look at.  That our sweet children will have to deal with. 

I think about how we have wrecked this earth, because most do not ever take the time to think beyond themselves. 

It is hard, buying is addictive.  More more MORE is what we are taught.

Less is what I am teaching my kids.

And myself
