This is a pretty cool site to check out. It asks different questions about your lifestyle and figures out if everyone in the world lived like you do how many earths it would take to support that lifestyle. I'll tell you that I live pretty modestly, the only meat I eat is seafood which is pretty rare for me. I recycle everything I can and I was still pretty sadened by my score. But, it's important to know these things in order to do a better job at protecting the place we call home.
What really bums me out is knowing that the only reason we haven't totally trashed this planet yet is because there are so many poor people who can't afford to do the damage that the people with the capability to read this blog do.

I totally agree. I hate throwing anything away that may be of use to someone. I too recycle everything possible. Once you start, it isn't hard to do it. I wrote this poem in 1988 about how I worried about our planet.
'Epitaph To Earth'
Oh...Mother Earth
Hold us once again
to your breast
Just one more chance
To preserve Nature's best
For it is spring...
Yet, the grass stays brown
Trees wear no green crown!
No flowers fair
To scent the putrid air
The birds are still
Smog blotted out the sun
Now painful knives the chill
Some said this would happen...
But who believed?
Mother Earth...dying...whispers
"Too late now for a solution"
Cause of death? Man's pollution.
