Nothing is more important than reversing/repairing the damage we humans have inflicted upon our beautiful home .. Nothing.
Through all the arguments, all the justifications, all the excuses, the fact remains that we humans are the only species which has caused harm to this magical spinning orb we inhabit. We are the imbalanced/unbalanced destroyers of the very nature which nourishes us.
Our greatest accomplishment as a species will/would be to restore our Mother to Her original grandeur. THAT action would/will show the true greatness of humanity.

Time will Tell
There are those who are proactive in an honorable endeavor to "make right" what we have so selfishly and arrogantly caused. I was reminded of this last week when the recycling truck came 'round to pick up those items we submit for renewed life in a better form. Recycling is a wonderful beginning to the rejuvenation of nature's glory. In thinking about recycling, my mind wandered to the fabulous Earthships created by Michael J. Reynolds. Completely self sustaining homes created from used tires, bottles, and other items we have foolishly discarded for years and years. What a concept from this true visionary. I won't waste your time here when you can go to his site at https://www.earthshipglobal.com/ and revel in the reality of those who care about restoring sanity.
This is but one example of what can be done with discarded items, as well as a new awakening amongst our planetary tribe regarding the importance of having a healthy planet instead of having items we have come to consider luxurious as our technological skills have intermingled with the false importance of monetary gain. If we have no nature, we have no happiness .. this is the truth.
I am guilty. I am no different than anyone else. I have been, and continue to be, wasteful .. fundamentally one with my possessions .. wanting to walk in the forest and enjoy its beauty and solitude before returning to my car and speeding towards the house in a haze of burned oil, gasoline, and the emissions produced. I readily buy food items in plastic containers .. as the oceans and those life forms which inhabit them are buried by plastic waste.
It is exciting that tires can become homes, plastic can become thousands of useful items, and nearly everything which is unsustainable is finding new life through the efforts of recycling and through the new eyes of an awakening group of concerned world citizens.

So ...
knowing I am a seriously flawed humanoid, who has certainly done his share to disrespect our beautiful blue orb. I vow to be more and more conscious of earth healing actions as I plod forward.
And ..
in absolute belief that recycling is amongst the most positive and life changing actions one can take, restoring the old into magnificent new forms, usages, and philosophies .. next Monday when the recycling truck rolls 'round .. they will find this man sitting in that little blue bucket ..
hoping for
New Life
Imagine that ... Recycled !!
