“The Earth will be around long after we and all the other living creatures have ceased to exist. And the plastic will have become just another geological layer. But the creatures on the Earth now… we are all suffering because of the misuse of the materials available to us, and that’s why I do my work. ”

This is so well said. We humans need to both step up to the plate in conservation and get off our “Save the Earth” falsehood.

Because of your blog my plastic consciousness has gone into hyper awareness. I am so much more careful about plastic use now.

Thank you for doing what you do!

Well said. George Carlin use to say "the Earth doen't need saving, The earth will be here for years after all the humans are gone". I can't agree more .-= Rob´s last blog ..No Smoking Version 2.0 =-.

Thank you, I needed this.

Earth Day this year was apparently a day for people to admit how much they hate greenies, around here.

Love & RRRevolution to you, Beth. PS The most ridiculous Earth Day offer I received in my Inbox was for "recyclable" plastic tea light cups. *sigh* .-= Tracey´s last blog ..Healthy Contraception on sale at Anarres! =-.

Oldnovice – don’t despair about the seed starting pots! You can use folded origami news paper to make pots, just make sure it’s soy based inks and not glossy. There’s lots of links if you google “origami seed pots”. Better luck next year! (hey, maybe it’s an opportunity to support a local nursery and buy seedlings to replace what would have grown?).

Beth – I love your message of love. But I admit, I don’t love plastic. I’ll work on not hating it quite so much, though ;)

Just had another hope "splatted" today. Had found a great "deal" on peat seed-starting pots for my garden, so got 300 and planted seeds in them. Watered them (because seeds need water) and one-by-one they started to grow white mold ... on the dirt, outside the pot ... everywhere. Reading about this problem today, I learned that experienced gardeners don't use the peat pots for three reasons: 1) They mold, 2) They do NOT break down once put in the ground ... at least not quickly enough to allow the plant's roots to spread outside the pot, and 3) peat moss isn't a renewable resource. Recommended by experienced gardeners: plastic containers. 1 step forward; 2 steps back. .-= Oldnovice´s last blog ..Earth Day is Thursday, April 22, 2010. How about we all use less? =-.
