Happy Earth Day!

Today, we simply offer you these thoughts from Gaylord Nelson-  the founder of Earth Day.

"Our goal is not just an environment of clean air and water and scenic beauty.  The objective is of an environment of decency, quality and mutual respect for all other human beings and all other living creatures.
Our goal is a new American ethic that sets new standards for progress, emphasizing human dignity and well being rather than an endless parade of technology that produces more gadgets, more waste and more pollution."

"The ultimate test of a man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."
