Every Day is an Earth Day.............

Every day is an Earth Day...........I conceive that the land belongs to a vast family of which many are dead, few are living, and countless numbers are still unborn. ~A Chieftan from NigeriaWe do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. ~Native American ProverbThere are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew. ~Marshall McLuhan, 1964Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth. ~Henry David ThoreauThere's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all. ~Robert OrbenI'm not an environmentalist.

a letter from greenpeace

In three days, General Motors spends the equivalent of Greenpeace's global annual budget. In two days, British Petroleum makes more in profit than Greenpeace receives in donations in a year.
