Isn't the Earth beautiful? Wait, dont answer that! It definatly looks beautiful, but is it actually anymore? Not so much... It's broken, it's sad, it's... I don't exactly know how to explain it. But honestly, nobody seems to really notice the earths natural beauty anymore, no one really takes the time to stop and really look at it. I do, however. For the past 3 years I have. I lie in the grass, or I sit on the steps, and I feel everything around me. I don't do this alot, though I really should, because it's the most relaxing feeling in the world. It's like I become a part of the wind, as if I am the wind.. When I breath in, it's like everything [the tree's,the grass,the plants] is just gently rocking with the wind.. and when I breath out, the winf blows harder, and it's like the wind is breathing within me, and I feel incredibly light, and all of a sudden there isn't a problem in the world that can hurt me, or affect me in any way. Anways, i'm just saying that I dont want that getaway to not be there anymore. It's important to me and it hurts to think that the waters that were once clear,blue and free of chemicals, are now unclear, green, chemical filled, and flooding with garbage. It's sad to know that the air that keeps us going is over-flowing with smoke, and disgusting chemicals that cause us health problems. There is this quote that goes 'In hopes of reaching the moon, men fail to see the flowers that blossem at their feet' Such a simple, yet meaningful quote.
People are so eager to proceed to the future, with technology that will do everything for them, that we never are able to see what we do have, and what we do not realize, is that we should enjoy it while we have it, because it's not going to be there long with what we're doing to destroy it. I know I said i'd be giving solutions intead of complaints, but i've been so busy lately, i've still been doing my part for the environment , though. I picked up yesterday morning a coffee cup, a mc.donalds cup, and a red bull can off the ground.. and last night, a beer bottle, and 2 cups. I've been thinking about other ways to spread awareness, but actually do something about it at the same time... Maybe a petition, fliers for the website, maybe even setting up a protest in front of some sort of governmental building with the people who signed the petition... It will take alot but I am determined to keep the world around for another jundred centuries big grin
OH, and if you are interested in signing the petition, all you have to do is send your name to environmentalissues@live.ca for an online petition which will be sent through the internet to many people... Feel free to send a message along with your name smile
