daily.
…the fragile beauty and natural wonder of the Earth...
…is choked by your practices…
...for those of us who have plenty...

It’s late, but not too late!
Individual effort alone will not suffice.We need commitment!
We must coexist with nature.
Respect it. Treat it. Love it. Give it the care it deserves.
