Happy Earth Day

On the last day of the world I would want to plant a tree. 

- W.S. Merwin

 

Stop deforestation. 

Plant trees. 

Restore tropical jungles. 

Save the Earth!

Nature Waking Up in March

 

 

 “By March, the worst of the winter would be over. 

The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run 

and the world would wake into itself again.” 

 

- Neil Gaiman

Alien Threat

 

"Can we and all nations not live in peace? 

 

In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. 

 

I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. 

 

And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?"

 

- President Ronald Reagan in an address to the United Nations General Assembly on September 21, 1987.
