Weekly Challenge: Open your minds and be prepared to rethink your place in the ecosystem

Weekly Quote: "I care about our environment because it is a matter of survival, nature is very patient, but if we test her limits she could easily tire of us. All too often we get caught up in the day to day grind and forget about the big picture. Step back for a second, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we grow come from the Earth. We are all connected to our planet; we have got to keep it healthy to keep us healthy". Jan Arden

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do. - Edward Everett Hale
