I truly believe that we have been given a beautiful planet to live on and that we have a responsibility to care for it and be good stewards.
We can control how clean our water is, how clean our air is, how much land we develop, taking valuable forests and wildlife habitats away, and how many pesticides we spray around, affecting the bees, butterflies and birds.
We can cut back on plastic, which is suffocating the oceans and waterways. Stop throwing trash in the woods, which were not made for your old TV and mattress. Recycle all you can.
Does everyone in the family really need their own vehicle?
Get chemicals out of the food supply and eat whole foods. One step at a time will solve this and leave things better for our kids and grandkids.
