If you know me, you know that I am certifiably a tree hugger. I am not one of those people who thinks that humans are the sole reason for Global Warming nor am I the person who thinks that laying in front of a tree to prevent it from getting knocked down is effective, at some point the cops will just come and arrest you and they will knock down the tree anyway. I do however respect those radicals who tie themselves to trees and think that some people inhabiting this planet don't quite understand that the ground they walk on is sooo old, so precious, and they are not in authority over it. We often forget that this planet is the only one we have and just because we will die eventually, our ancestors, our descendants will go on to live on this earth and we have to have respect for this place we share. We share it with other humans but also animals and plants and they deserve the respect of living on this earth too. They too keep the earth running properly and without them we wouldn't be breathing, eating, or living. They provide food, oxygen, and more of the resources we often mindlessly consume. So today even for just one moment take a second to think about where you're standing, what you're eating, take a few breaths and realize that this planet you live on is so vast and so great, and it has endured a lot. So even if you don't believe in global warming, and don't think anything your doing is hurting the planet. At least think about giving some respect to this place you call home, that gives so much and asks nothing in return.
Happy Earth Day Everyone!
