How important the environment and environmental constraints are.. how sustainability IS important. We cannot keep taking and taking, abusing and polluting.. We cannot be passing on to our children an impoverished world and problems we caused for them to sort out.. I wish people understood how important biodiversity aka wildlife including plants, flowers, birds, insects and mammals is to US..They aren't just pretty, sweet, cute, slimy or scaly.. they too are important.. if we see species disappear how do we know that species doesn't hold the key to our future. perhaps a medicine... ditto trees, plants and the habitats that go with them.. Not only that but if species are dying out..from pollution etc.. then maybe we too are affected, or will be.. As if that weren't enough I think we underestimate the joy we as human beings can extract from our natural surroundings and the species we share the planet with
Indeed. If you care about the human race, then you should definitely care about the environment and other critters since we won't fare too well without them. Some people don't seem to realize that, they seem to have this weird "us or them" mentality.
You can't judge an apple by looking at the tree, You can't judge honey by looking at the bee, You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother, You can't judge a book by looking at the cover. -Song lyrics
I wish he understood how much he has tied my hands (a metaphor) and how much of a happy surprise he is in for when we finally get together. I'm sure it will be the same for me.

Something. Anything. The trouble is not lack of understanding, the trouble is that sometimes when people are wrong they tend to redouble their efforts.
Think before you speak. Words are very powerful. Laughter is good for your soul. Make sure you do it at least once a day. You'd be surprised. It helps keep the doctor away and is great for your stomach muscles.
