I adore this planet. I’m pretty sure I’d love it even if it wasn’t the only one I knew. And I think it’s great that we’ve designated a day in which to celebrate it every year. I’m not sure, however, that 20 percent off sales at all stores at the local jumbo mall are the way to honor this mother-child-protector-provider-sanctuary phenom upon which we find ourselves. Maybe we should hold off on the streamers and listen to what SHE KEEPS TELLING US…
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Here are a couple fun and impactful reminders of why we should probably listen, generously provided by Annie Leonard.
Doesn’t it all just make you wanna go hug a tree?
Go walk barefoot in the grass for five minutes. Brush your hand against a tree trunk. Take a moment to breathe in the scent of a garden flower. And if you can’t do any of that today, on Earth Day, stop for a moment and ask yourself…
WHY THE HELL NOT?
