Went to the Zoo today, heard a quote that stuck with me. It was said by one of the trainers during the SOAR night time show, which is a show that features free flying birds from all over the planet. The show was created not only to entertain, but to inform the public on the rapid loss of our rain-forests which are home to many of these endangered birds. The quote was said by one of the trainers during the production, I believe her name was Carrie. Carrie reminded the viewers that "we did not inherit this planet from out parents, we are simply borrowing it from our children." Simple words, attached to such a serious message. I took that quote very seriously as we all should. We do not know what tomorrow holds, but we can do things each day that make sure tomorrow will come. For our loved ones and all the beautiful animals we share this planet with. It can be as simple as recycling, cutting 5 minutes off your shower time, letting your hair air dry, or riding your bike to work. These simple tasks may seem very small, but they add up. You may think you are just 1 person, how much of a difference can you make? Just think for a moment and realize, your not the only one with that mind set, but if you just take the time to practice one of these simple behaviors, you are no longer the problem, you are now the answer.
Peace, Love, and Conservation!

Good post... But I live far from work, my hair looks better blow dried and I like long showers...
ReplyDeleteha, well then be the problem, not the answer I suppose! Try practicing a little selflessness every once in a while.
