Here is an aerial photo of Olympic Peninsula Washington. It was taken by Photographer George Steinmetz.
Yesterday, THE BAG of mostly Kroger grocery store ads and coupons got delivered to our front door. I have repeatedly called THE BAG answering machine requesting that it not be delivered here anymore. We do not use the coupons or anything in THE BAG. We end up recycling it. It is just one example of the waste that is plaguing our planet...all in the name of making a buck. We certainly are not saving a buck. We need to stop cutting down all our trees so that THE BAG can come to our door on Saturday afternoon.
The trees that were allowed to remain in this photo were carefully chosen to maintain the illusion of vast forest for the happy motorist.
It is time to reclaim these lands...reseed them, revitalize them. I think it may be time for Guerrilla Gardening and Seed Bombs.
Last year I read Starhawks recent book The Earth Path. Starhawk has direct experience with seed bombs that is a worthy read. I know that if we wait till our government decides to do the right thing, we will be waiting too long for Mama Earth. Too many men are making too much money on exploiting her. We need to balance that out a bit with good ole fashioned activism. From now on EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY! So do something green today. Call your local "Bag of Ads" and have them take you off their list. If enough of us do that we might be able to save a few trees!
