Caring
for the Earth
It
is no longer an option to live blithely on this planet with no care as
to what you are doing to it. Pollution in it's many forms has grown to
critical proportions and if we don't stop the way we've been treating
this planet, we will no longer have the honor of living on it.
Here
are some simple things that you can do in your own personal environment
to help clean up the earth:
- Don't
use pesticides, herbicides (Round-up, etc.), or chemical fertilizers
in your yard and gardens. Mulch your garden waste and use that to fertilize.
- Recycle
paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, and whatever else your local recyclers
will accept.
- Buy recycled
products and support the whole re-cycle.
- Buy organic
foods. They are grown without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers.
By purchasing organic food you won't be supporting one of our most dangerous
industries - the chemical companies.
- Don't
burn trash, brush, campfires, woodstoves,or anything else that isn't
absolutely necessary. Soot from burning has caused more damage to our
atmosphere than carbon monoxide from cars and trucks. Read about it

- Combine
trips to take care of errands and shopping to limit driving and save
gas.
- Limit
your family size by practising birth control. We no longer have the
luxury of having large families. Every time another child is born it
adds to the already overburdened resources of this planet. We are living
longer now which means that we are not leaving to make space for the
newborn on this planet.
