Thinking about Earth Day

Today was a wonderful family art day, plus we walked to
Cedarvale Park and enjoyed the freedom of the wide spaces,
and beautiful trees. I was super busy on Earth Day, but want to
honour it. Here's what I said in a former post:

"Nature is constantly reminding us about why she
matters.  So as I say every Earth Day, let's stop the wars,
and get more environmentally intelligent vehicles.  In
Ontario if you're driving an electric car it isn't better for
the environment because our electricity comes from nuclear
power, the most toxic and perpetually harmful method of
creating energy possible.  But the industry has infinite
political support from our current provincial government,
which is sad.

Enough. I love the planet. I don't have the answers. But
let's work on them together for this guy, and for us and
our children."

Have a loving your life day!
