Taking Care of the Earth

Thank you Inda.

I myself feel that we are all exposed to too much radiation on a daily basis. As much as we need technology we all get too much radiation from sitting behind computers all day, TV sets, cellphones, microwave ovens etc. The incidence of cancer in young people has grown tremendously. Our bodies have not yet evolved to a state where we can handle all this radiation.

Thank you Inda.
This is a beautiful message for the earth.
I agree with you also Sue.
I hope we will take better care of the earth.

Vicky

Dear Inda, thank you for this wise post. May we awaken to the awareness that Mother Earth is crying out for help. There are emergencies in so many sectors. It is high time that we change our polluting habits.

You have chosen beautiful words dear Inda.
Loving you, Margherita

Thank you Sue, Vicky and Margherita
for sharing your love with Mother Earth.

Thank you.

Beautiful message.I hope we will all stop taking the earth for granted and start to take better care of it.

Thank you Gisele.
I came across an ancient Native American proverb:

Treat the earth well; it was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.

Let us take good care of the things that have been entrusted to us by our children.

Love, Inda

Beautiful message Inda. Thanks. Lovebeams, Teo

The voice of my grandmother said to me,
teach your children what you have been taught.
The earth is our mother.
What befalls the earth befalls all the sons and daughters of thre earth.
~Chief Seattle

Thanks again.

I love this post.

The voice of my grandfather said to me,
the air is precious. It shares its spirit with all
the life it supports. The wind that gave me my first
breath also received my last sigh.
You must keep the land and air apart and sacred,
as a place where one can go and taste the wind that
is sweetened by the meadow flowers.

Thank you for bringing back this post.
Trees are also important for the Earth.
Cutting down as many trees is very disturbing.
Humans are destroying the balance of the earth that has taken thousands of years to develope. Whatever we do now is not going to reverse all the weather problems soon enough.

I hope that we will stop cutting down trees before the weather conditions get even more catastrophic all over the world.

The number of butterflies has been declinung. Humans are using too many toxic products in their gardens, and everywhere in general. We will see a big decline in flora and fauna if this goes on much longer.

Butterflies pollinate almost by accident. They usually have a very wide range of flight, so the pollen gleaned off a flower in your yard may end up across town. There has been some research showing that a few of our endangered native plants may be exclusively pollinated by butterflies and could be lost without them. There is much more research needed in this area.

Let us create a butterfly friendly nature wherever we can, so that future generations can enjoy the beauty that we enjoy as well.

Love,
Sue

The history of bees runs parallel to that of mankind. Since the dawn of humanity, man has prized honey. Today, this nectar has become rare, because the bees are not well.
In France over the past thirty years, the bee population has been diminishing and becoming increasingly fragile. The blame can be placed squarely on man’s shoulders: the industrial exploitation of nature, the excessive addition of chemicals to produce better quality honey in greater quantities. The quest for more has backfired.

Once again, an ecosystem is in danger. It is not only the bee but the whole complementary chain linking animal to plant life that has been disrupted. No bees means no pollinisation, which means the disappearance of certain plant species, which in turn means the disappearance of certain animal species

Let us stop disrupting the balance of the earth, and all the plants and animals that go with it.

Sue posted this information in another topic regarding the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico:

Even though the oil has been stopped, health threats from the Gulf oil disaster could persist for years.
This toxicity will have disasterous effects on people and all the marine life. What we see on the ocean surface is nothing. Scientists have discovered massive bubbles of undersea oil, some 80 km distant from the oil well, in high concentration capable of killing marine life and causing genetic malformations for years.

I am very closed to nature and I want to live with them.

Beautiful, significant posts here. On the World Environment Day I wrote a few haiku and I will share them here with you.

Great post

I think we need this at the moment,

more than ever.

The world is in a mess.

You could not be more correct Vicky.

Thank you for the original post and replies.
