It seems more important than ever to acknowledge World Environment
Day, with our Ontario Premier planning to unnecessarily install a major
airport on our waterfront -- why?  Because he wants to.  And for
some reason that inane plan is not being stopped by the federal
government.  Here's what I wrote before about this day that applies
even more now:

"What seems odd to me is that World Environment Day isn't one of
the most important days in the year.  More important than birthdays,
or Christmas, or any religious holiday.  Our environment, which means
our planet, is in big trouble.  So if we want to keep celebrating all of
the other vital holidays, maybe we should focus on fixing what we're
doing here first.  

It is a dear friend's birthday, and wanting to celebrate her is utmost in
my mind, and I do wish we could give all of us the gift of taking care
of the environment, ending wars, and stopping our foolish habits 
of valuing money above all."

Have a loving the planet day!
